1000 Miles in two days is a pretty lazy pace of a drive. I imagine that's because it takes so long to recharge. 750 miles a day is my usual but 1000 a day is

  I've done 1k in a day in my Tesla, it's not really a big deal. You stop every few hours to plug in for a half hour or so.

  Assuming that there is only one driver, 750 miles is 12.5hrs and 1000 miles is 16.6hrs at 60mph average. Both of those are above the 11 of 24hrs that a commercial truck driver is permitted to be on the road in the US. Say what you want about regulations, but I take that as an upper limit to how long one can safely operate a motor vehicle. I try to stay under 8hrs per day for long trips with around 7 being my target average.

    Until we get self-driving cars. Or a better network of trains. Not sure which is more plausible.

  I did a ~965mi trip regularly in my Model X 100D during the pandemic when I was not comfortable flying. The trip is about 18hrs door-to-door, with about 14hrs driving and ~4hrs charging. Autopilot is very helpful in reducing fatigue, as are the required frequent stops. The charging time was somewhat inflated, because my friend does not have destination charging at her downtown condo building. That meant that on the outbound leg, I needed to stop at a close by, but slow, urban supercharger and top my car up. And on the return leg, I was not starting with a 100% charge. This was especially frustrating, because there are chargers in the garage they share w/a hotel, but the chargers are for hotel guests only...
