1 - use "a better route planner" to help plan things
2 - stay in hotels with L2 charging
3 - always have a backup plan
4 - don't forget to take into account the winter weather, assume your range will be about 200 miles; rain/snow/headwind/high cabin temperature will decrease this range
5 - join all of the anticipated EV networks before your trip

You're a brave soul :)
Thank you!! I love challenges and this one clearly requires some more thought.

I'd also invest in one of the Tesla->J1772 adapters for Tesla destination chargers (won't work on superchargers).

I second this. Will help at some hotels and restaurants. Used mine for the first time this past weekend while we ate. Didn't give a lot, but was enough to make me (my wife) more comfortable with arriving at our next stop, 11% vs 8% without.

Trying to get some advice...I just asked for a factory pick up and was approved from HQ!

I'm second guessing myself since it's 830ish miles and this is my first EV!! We take road trips all the time as a family and I'm thinking about pulling my 5 year old out of Kindergarten for a 2-3 day dad and daughter trip.

But holy smokes and I'm getting range anxiety and such 😫
I agree with the guy below, if you can find a hotel with EV charging that's huge cause the level 2 charging takes forever. Electrify America locations are great for fast charging and remember you don't need to fill up every time.
Hope this helps. Tom R1T with 6k miles...

Yes I'm working in Ithaca. Are you driving the stellar white lucid? They look way better in person than pictures.

That white one was actually the service loaner. It went back last week so look for a Zenith Red one now.
