7:30AM While the little one kept sleeping, we all got ready and hung out.
8:30AM we drove our friend to Harvard University where she works and then headed straight to Dedham Tesla shop for a car assessment.
10:45AM We were ready to get on the road towards Florida!!
Specs of car:
Tesla Model X
90D with 259 miles per charge
Instead of going down I95, which would take us through NY and D.C., we routed our way around that traffic area by going through I84West which then turns into I81. Car recommended charging in West Hartford, CT.
1:30PM Before heading to the charging station, we stopped at Besito, a Mexican/Latin restaurant, 12 minutes from the charging station and before it. It is not your typical, casual Mexican restaurant. It was a more high end atmosphere. The place is very big and with super duper tall ceiling. The staff were very friendly. The food was great too! The husband got two enchiladas and the wife got two tacos. Amazing!
After lunch, we charged for about 30 minutes to get up to 245 miles while playing in Toys R Us. I guess 30 minutes was not enough for a little one to enjoy a toy store because she refused to leave. Bribery always works though - the sweet desert we got at Besito :-) The little one ate her snack, drank her milk, asked for her "very soft blanky" and fell asleep.
2:44PM we left charging station in West Hartford to Moosic, PA super charging station. The car says we will drive for 3hrs and 10 min and have 15% charge left when we arrive at the charging station by 5:54PM. Average speed 73 mph with cruise and autopilot engaged about 90%of the time. We were stuck in traffic at the beginning for about 30 minutes. Temp outside: 67 degrees. Average 321 Wh/mi
What is it like to be a full time working mom pursuing an MBA while on a road trip? Not bad! While the little one slept, the wife checked work emails for anything urgent, responded to a few texts from the doctors she works with and then dived into school work. It is amazing how efficient you can be when you know your peaceful time has a limit based on your child's nap time!
What is the key thing to remember? Bring two charged laptops!!!
