There is no legal limit for non commercial drivers in the US though? Certainly it's a bad idea and impractical to drive for, say, 24 hours without stopping, but not illegal?
- Thlom 4y agoGuess it becomes illegal when your eye lids starts lowering ...
- TeMPOraL 4y agoFair, I checked and it turns out I must have misremembered the legality aspect. There are, however, safety recommendations that strongly urge to take a 30-45 minute break every 3-4 hours of continuous driving, and - IIRC, that was many years ago - the model S range was more than enough if you followed those recommendations and recharged during downtime.

- bagels 4y agoDo you have an example of it being regulated at all?
- dsfyu404ed 4y agoVirginia, Colorado and Nebraska prohibit more than 13hr, 12hr and 12hr (in respective order) in a 24hr period. I can keep going...

- bagels 4y agoThank you for sharing this. I wasn't aware any states had such a thing. I'm happy to be shown the evidence that some do.
