Tesla Model 3 road trip: Fremont, Calif. to LA

2018-06-05
I did it I bought a model 3 this is it and because I picked it up in Fremont I have to get it back home which means roadtrip time so I'm gonna be trying out autopilot for the first time I am gonna get my tunes going I've heard the stereo system is awesome we are gonna supercharge down at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo and hopefully we're gonna make it back to LA before dark but I doubt it so let's go it appears that the built-in radio options or music options on the car are kind of like radio stations so if I decide I want to play Sophie Tucker I can only play Sophie Tucker radio unless I go to my iPhone and switch over to bluetooth which hands down this is the best sounding Bluetooth connection I have ever heard for music in a car it's amazing I would really love it if in the future maybe Tesla integrated Apple music Spotify I mean TuneIn is there but I don't use TuneIn so one or more of those streaming music services would be super handy especially considering most people have an Android phone or an iPhone like those things seem like they should be the default I'm using the adaptive cruise control and it's set to four car lengths I don't have to break it off we go through curves and sort of slow this down as it eats too you know we just kind of glide right through pretty nice I think it's time to activate autopilot I'm a little bit scared I'm a little bit excited area you gotta do the stock twice there we go it says keep your hands a loyal which I certainly will be doing both get this car driving itself oh my god I'm freaking out we're going on a curve I loosen it I've been flipping through some of the options here and I found an option to turn on creep which is allowing the car to kind of roll forward if you take your foot off the brake at a stop sign and as a Californian who enjoys her California stops it's a good option we're not running terribly low on battery but we do need to recharge to finish our trip so we're going to stop at the Madonna and super charger and also eat cake all right oh wait wait do this I remember yeah press the button and it's let's open it open hey all right all right there we go is charging the green lights flashing we're doing it charges car supercharging is done it was really fast surprisingly fast and I paid about 1250 for a supercharged session that got me to 90% Tesla says to charge the battery anywhere between 10 and 90 percent that's where it likes to live so I did that and we're ready to get back on the road let's go home that's it road trip is over this is your stop I am all done here I'm taking this thing to go get washed immediately because it's covered in bugs but until next time I will see you on the road me good humans
