This morning we set off on our first road trip in our new Tesla Model Y.

Compared to our previous Model 3, we have so much room now. Even the sub trunk has another sub trunk. We’re also taking a couple of suitcases to deliver to a family friend along the way. We still managed to find room for the coffee machine.

The autumn trees in our yard turned an ultra red, to send us off.

First stop tonight will be near Wagga Wagga, then on towards Cessnock, Seal Rocks, then back to the Central Coast for a few days, before heading home again.

Charging:

I scheduled the car to top up charge in the early hours this morning, but I neglected to turn off “charge on solar”. It turns out that there’s no solar at night 😉. No problem, I just started the charging this morning when I woke up, so we had 80% by the time we left – more than enough to get us to wherever we end up stopping along the way.
