> Today's batteries aren't really good enough for driving on vacation
Picked up our Model 3 in September. We've already driven it to West Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, as well as multiple trips inside of Florida. Hit 10,000 miles yesterday.
I would never argue that road tripping in a Tesla is as worry-free as it is in a ICE-powered vehicle, but with a modicum of forethought I'd say the Model 3 is plenty good enough for driving on vacation today. The hardest part is limiting yourself to hotels that offer Level 2 chargers, but pretty much all new construction hotels have EV charging of some sort.
