[Thread] Alright so we have a fun idea. 1000 mile road trip race: Electric vs gas. A test to truly answer the question: How much time does refueling ACTUALLY add to a road trip? Tesla Superchargers vs Electrify America vs Gas stations ⚡️⚡️⛽️⛽️

So we're doing it! Here we have the competitors: Tesla Model S PLAID (349 mile range) vs Ford Mustang Mach E California Route 1 Edition (305 mile range) vs an Audi Q5 (462 mile range)?

To make a 1000-mile loop, we have 4 checkpoints.

Starting point: This Wawa with a gas station, Tesla Superchargers AND Electrify America chargers 🙌🏾

Lake Placid: Gotta take a photo at the Lake Placid Olympic sign

Niagara Falls: (there's a monument to Nikola Tesla there too)

Ithaca, NY: That clock tower on Cornell University's campus

Scranton, PA: You know. Where the Office was shot.

Then back to the Studio.

This will take 2 days and be very (kinda) scientific and very fun

Currently charging/fueling all the cars too 100%.

Will be tweeting updates here, not I’m in the Tesla the whole time so… follow @TheStudio for updates from all the cars!

Single file on the freeway
Tesla has 220 left
Audi has 440 left
Mach E has 181

A+ stop
