I'm getting old. The thought of driving 600+ miles in a single day sounds like hell.
- ghaff 5y agoI find that on trips, I'm a whole lot less interested in doing long drives than I used to be. I arranged a trip in the Western US for September and one of my decisions was that I'd basically limit the trip to one area of a state rather than zip around to multiple distanced places.
- aakour 5y agoThis is IMO where the Model 3 shines - it's a great car for longer trips. Comfy seats, and autopilot really reduces the strain of highway driving.
- rootusrootus 5y agoThat works for some people. I found that the seats in my P3D were decidedly mediocre at best (but I've gotten spoiled over the years by a lot of cars with Recaros). And AP does not drive either as smoothly as I do, nor as defensively as I do, which actually raises my blood pressure a bit. Cruise control with me steering is my most comfortable.
- s0rce 5y agoDepends on if you have someone to do it with and the scenery. I just drove from CA to NV, little bit of ID, and OR in a day and it was a great drive (just shy of 800mi). Lots of interesting scenery and places I've never seen. Broke it up into 2 days on the way back and slept at a nice campground.
