Maybe sip and drive/ride but mostly everyone is asleep during roadtrips or majority of it. When they wake up, we’re close or reached our destination. 8hr drives, we make one stop. 5-7hr towing to track, 1 stop for fuel then they may go inside the store for bathroom if it’s a Buc’ees or other nice gas station.
My wife typically doesn’t wake up unless I’m hard on brakes or I come to a stop for a reason then she will look around to see what’s going on. Once back on the move, she’s back asleep.
Put us on a 🛫flight and all of us are 😴💤
I guess how long a trip takes, “depends” on dry mouth and leaky bladders. Things I hope we don’t develop.

It's been mentioned many, many times that you are not the typical traveling family. Between SF and LA, the rest areas, gas stations, restaurants etc are full of people making stops. Gas cars, motorcycles, EV's, people stop, for whatever reasons. And the four stops mentioned by RXSF is not typical for modern EV owners here, unless maybe for those driving a Chevy Bolt or an older Model 3 base or other pre 2023 EV. If there are no accidents, road closures, construction on the way to SoCal, it generally takes me 6 hours and 40 minutes from start to finish taking my Tesla's, and maybe I'll save 20 minutes if I had taken my Sienna. Basically noise

Sienna needs love too ☺️
I think you’re anomaly when it come to EV drivers consistently running 80mph on roadtrips. I’m not trolling or exaggerating when I say they run 70-75ishmph down here on highways. But I that could be do to the chargers are far more spaced out vs almost on every exit in California. Even my friend with same Teslas you have said he runs 75-78mph max. Here’s a recent example below, I’m passing this Tesla at 72mph in a 70mph.
Also I passed the same Tesla truck 2x. Once before stopping at Bucees and again leaving Bucees. I was in Bucees for 9-11 min I believe.
The speed limit as 75mph as I was passing the Tesla truck for the 2nd time. Granted I was running faster than 78mph

Most Tesla drivers here in NorCal are slow drivers. Even those driving Plaid's. SoCal is a different story, everyone is Speed Racer out there

Up here,,,rarely see an EV driving fast, almost never in the passing lane, that said, electric vehicles start to lose range as your speed increases. up to 25% range loss at 75 mph when the weather is cold (and not cold too). Perhaps that’s why in this region. Almost never see high-end cars driving fast either. Especially a Porsche

Every car loses range as speed increases, because aerodynamic drag is proportional to the square of speed. In other words, for every doubling of speed then aerodynamic drag will quadruple. No getting away from that, and it applies to all cars regardless of drivetrain. Sure, EVs will consume more energy as speed increases, but the same is true for ICE cars, You can overcome some of this with gearing, and here ICE has an advantage, or lower drag coefficients, where EVs tend to have the advantage. Regardless, the claim in bold is true of of any moving object, regardless of the means of propulsion.

So his charging stops were faster than your fueling stops? How else would you pass the same car twice 🤔
I got to ride in one of my agents' new Tesla Model 3 the other day for and extended time. We were going down to a baseball game and he drove, we were in it for about an hour. Super impressive car, and an incredible improvement from the previous car. I have been in many of the first gen M3s as Ubers and the new one is two even three notches over the top. Solid, rides really well, quiet, great quality interior (better than sub 5/X5 BMWs, better than say a Lexus ES, better than a sub E Class Mercedes, better than almost all new Audis). For a higher end mainstream car it is heads and shoulders better than other things you can buy for the money.
did you give them ambien?
