Long Distance Travel
A Tesla is up for a full day of driving. A stop for lunch in Greenwich, CT, and then a restroom break in Newark, DE, you won't miss filling up at a gas station. And with Autopilot you will arrive rested and stress free.
The navigation system in the car will plan your stops and navigate you on the best routes for charging.
