With the 745-Mile Solid-State Battery, Toyota Just Became a Force to Reckon With

Might be me. I've semi-routinely made day trips of 1300mi, and I've done a few out-west road trips that involved long bouts of driving.

I'm not happy with FSD yet, but Autopilot is excellent and really helps with driver fatigue. The charging stops don't really change anything. You just stop when you would otherwise bathroom break or eat.

What FSD issues are the most problematic?

It is hard (or maybe it was hard) to average more than 60mph on US interstates, including gas/pee/food stops. 1300 miles @ 60mph is 21hrs. Unless you plan to not drive the next day, that's a LOT of driving, and definitely not easy.

Yep, 1300mi isn't easy. (I said 700mi was). You're correct, for me, it's mostly been non-stop interstate travel on a lot of midwest/western interstates.
