I don't know if I will be able to post pics, as my phone may not get any bars at the Grand Canyon. Also I will probably post using the Tesla's touchscreen and web browser, so everything will be awkward compared to blogging from a laptop. But let's see how it goes! Text-only is very retro.
Okay I typed this last line from the Tesla. 🚗
When my Tesla M3 was new in 2019, it had 315 miles of range. I needed nearly all of this for the 255 mile drive from Blanding Utah (last supercharger) to Grand Canyon village. With hills, headwinds and high-speed traffic, I was lucky to arrive with 40-45 remaining miles. Now in 2025, my car's range has fallen to 295 miles. 😟
Fortunately there is a new supercharger in Kayenta, AZ, which reduces the longest stretch between superchargers to 155 miles. Otherwise, I would have needed to take a detour to Page, AZ to avoid running out of charge.
