Wow I’m shocked that I’m jealous of you! But here I am thinking how much fun a trip like this will be when I get mine.

Have a great and SAFE trip and keep us posted on how it goes.

Excellent, subscribed!

CO/UT suggestions below. You could spend several weeks in either state doing adventure stuff but below are quick outings that won't add too much time to your xcountry trip.

- Take Route 6 over Loveland Pass instead of going through Eisenhower Tunnel. This will take you over the Continental Divide instead of through it, so the views are worth it. It may add an hour+ to your trip but you can also stop for lunch in say Breckenridge or Dillon.

- Colorado National Monument is a good camping spot and extra 23-mile scenic drive along Rim Rock Scenic Rim Rock Drive - Colorado National Monument (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)

- If feeling it, add an extra day and night to see Arches National Park/Moab. Arches National Park Self-Guided Driving Tour | Action Tour Guide Utah has some of the country's most spectacular Natty Parks, all are worth the side trip if you can swing it.

It's only April, you could stop and get a half-day in at A-Basin if you really wanted.

Central CO weather outlook for this upcoming Tuesday-Wednesday is crap, by the way.

Drive safely though..

Oof. I have done this drive. That stretch through Nebraska is deathly boring.

Enjoy!

So far I have been hitting >190kw at every station, but they are all Signet. Not looking forward to the ABB further west. (But it’ll all be fine)

Awesome. Is it staying above 150KW around 60% charge?

I'd be curious how that stretch goes. I used to go to Chicago from Denver at least once a year and yes Nebraska is tough. Now I don't go to chicago much but go to Minnesota and travel the same stretch through Nebraska. I'm not getting my truck until 2nd half 2023 so hopefully there will be more charging options from Denver to Northern Minnesota.
