Taking our Tesla on a 1000 Mile Road Trip to Disney World!

We’re hitting the road again - driving from Toronto Ontario to Orlando Florida in our Tesla Model 3. We decided to buy the Full Self Driving subscription for the month, and we’re going to use it as much as possible on this drive, to try to show you the pros and cons. We’ll be taking the route that goes through Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida - and we’ll show you all our charge stops and food options that we come across along the way, along with our stop for the night at our midway point, the Red Roof Inn + in Statesville NC. We’ll also keep you updated as to road and weather conditions as of May 2024 (this trip took place between May 2 and 3).
After arriving in Orlando, we found a Circle K car wash to make sure our awesome Tesla (whose name is LuckEe, just in case you’ve ever wondered!) is sparkling and beautiful while we unwind for a spell at Walt Disney World!
Please drop us a comment if you have any questions, and we’ll do our best to answer them! Thanks so much for watching and coming along on this journey with us!

ABOUT US:
My name is Cate, and joining me is my husband James! We are from Toronto, Canada, where we live with our two cats, Manny and Tilly. We are childfree “elder millennials” who just love having fun together and filming our adventures. We decided to start this Vlog, mostly because of me! I (Cate) have a bachelor’s degree in Radio & TV, and worked in TV for 10+ years before switching fields - and I was looking for a way to explore my creative interests in filming and editing, but in a fun/not career focused way, and we came up with this channel! It’s now become a super fun way for us to connect with each other - and we would love to connect with all of you out there as well!

    Reminds me of my trip to Pennsylvania. You were so close to a sheetz in Princeton wva. Remember eating at the chick-fil-a and the sheets. Came back I 75 to see my sister in the Cincinnati area. Hit the buc ee's in Kentucky and Georgia . Was up there the week after the eclipse. Mostly low 60s Fahrenheit.

    Love a good road trip! How do you find the Tesla charging stations? Do you have to pay? Is it cheaper than paying for gas? The self drive looks so cool but it would make me nervous. I 100% agree about the Disney World sign - never gets old!!

    Road trips are the best! So, when we get in the car for a road trip, the first thing we'll do is plug in the address of where we're going. The car will then update the GPS to include all the charge stops, with an estimate of how long in between each stop, how long each stop will take, and how much charge we'll have when we get in and when we leave. Sometimes we'll charge a little longer (like if we happen to be at a fun shopping spot, like Target), and the navigation system will just recalculate the charge stops to go a little bit further. It's super cool! We do pay at the chargers, but it's much cheaper than paying for gas. The rate is based on kilowatt hour, and will be higher during peak times, and lower during non-peak times. On average, we spend about $15 CAD per charge. Self-driving still makes me nervous - but it performed SO well! I do tend to manually take control in construction zones or heavy traffic, because it just makes me too nervous. That sign is the best!!

    Do you guys usually have the window cracked a bit open while driving? Your maybe loosing 10-15 miles of range due to drag and the aerodynamics with the windows down.

    We do usually have it cracked… mostly because James likes to vape in the car, and I don’t love the fog 😂 haha. One day he’ll quit!

    So do you not preplan the hotel stop? I only did that once for an unplanned trip but even on the way back, we book the hotel we wanted to make as our goal

    We almost always wing it! We keep debating whether we want to pre-book something, but we generally keep it flexible, so that we don’t feel too much time pressure. One thing we did decide is that we prefer to stay near a major city, so that’s what we’ll probably prioritize moving forward!

    😂😂😂 On the route we take, as of right now, the only buc-ees stops are the two in Florida… I hope they add more along the way!
