My first-ever EV Road Trip! - Long post!

That it's precisely correct. Conserve in low (not lowest, I don't like how the alignment looks like in lowest).

And I'll make sure I'm caffeinated enough on the way back ??

First set of G1 R1T Q 21” tires were driven many, many miles on conserve/lowest and said tires lasted all of 17.6k miles. Got new tires and an alignment at my local tire shop at the low setting. Second set of 21” are at 42.6k miles after, again, many, many highway miles on conserve/low and they have the capability of lasting twice as long as the OEM set. Stay away from lowest AND have the alignment checked and set at low setting. All local driving is AP/low.

$0.34 per kWh. All charges but one (EA at target) were done with the Tesla Membership that I paid $13 for the month. Paid itself after 100kWh of charge ?

That’s pretty reasonable. I pay $.08/kWh at home and last time I used a Tesla SC it was $.48/kWh which I thought was expensive.

Tesla SC has normally three different rates depending of the Time of Day. With the Subscription I saw them anywhere from 28 to 43 cents so far

I charge for free at nights in my house, and while road-tripping I'm spending ~25% less than I used to spend on gas (on a bit of a smaller vehicle, mind you). So yeah, pretty reasonable.

Mind you, Electrify America charged my ~51 cents/kWh, hence why I prioritized Tesla SC and bought their subscription.

Tesla SuperCharger Monthly Membership was obtained for the sole purpose of this trip. It already paid itself off multiple times

If you only need the Tesla membership for the occasional road trip and want to avoid the hassle of potentially forgetting to unsubscribe at the end of the month, do what I do, and immediately cancel your subscription. When you cancel your subscription, you can use it for the rest of the current term, but it avoids an accidental renewal at the end of the term.

I'm always leery about cancelling a membership before the end of the current term. The first time I signed up, I waited until I was home after the trip before cancelling. On my last road trip, on the morning of my departure, I joined and canceled my Tesla membership before leaving home on the first leg of the trip. I use DCFC for charging away from home only a few months out of the year, so no need to keep it active the rest of the year.

It was canceled 2 mins after it was added ???

It's the method I always use otherwise I would 100% forget
