I will:
1) Drive super fast & giggle
2) Take it light offroad to test traction & overall capabilities
3) Probably sleep in it at least one night the first week, lol
this may be the most relatable/ accurate thing I've ever read on this entire forum site.

I'm hoping to take delivery in Bloomington/Normal (my hometown—obligatory "Go Wildcats!"), visit my parents, and then take my dad on a cross country off-road adventure all the way to the Pacific.

I recently discovered the TransAmerica Trail and I'm hoping to spend the next year mapping out the northern route from Minnesota (where my brother lives) to Oregon and then add on a bit of Highway 1 through California to get to San Francisco (where I live).

The trail map says that it's basically all dirt or gravel road the entire way. I'm expecting it'll be a ton of work to identify an electric-friendly route that hits the necessary charge points, but it sounds like a lot of fun to plan the logistics with my dad.

Trying to come up with some sort of plan with a moving target of course is hard but here is what we have whenever delivery occurs.

This is the new idea either Plan 1 or 2 depending on the season.

You know I'd go with plan 2 first, weather permitting.

You can't go wrong either way!

Im hoping to tailgate at an Eagles game with the Camp Kitchen. Afterwards Ill take a trip down 95 to at least Augusta, GA & Savannah. Then on the way back Ill loop up 81. I want to really push it on the first drive. So there will be stops at beaches, through the mountains, state parks, etc

If you go with Plan 1, don't use interstates between western VA and Knoxville! Use the Blue Ridge Parkway instead! At least from Roanoke to Asheville, but ideally do Skyline to the BRP all the way from Front Royal to Cherokee. It's wonderful anytime of year, but especially nice in the fall or spring. Depending on when you take delivery, maybe you'll be lucky enough to have some RAN charging sites up and running in time to make it really easy!

Ive Taken BRP from NOVA to Tennesee in my E85 mobile and it was an amazing time especially during the middle of the day in the middle of the week where there were no cops what so ever, not that I was exceeding the speed limit in any shape or fashion :p

Meet ya at the end of plan 2. My wife and I quickly realized that place is better go to to with at least two other people due to the requirement to hike in groups during certain times of the year.
