My wife, our small dog, and our two large e-bikes recently made the 1500-mile trip from Utah to Northern Wisconsin in our Tesla Model 3 Long Range. It was our first cross-country trip with the new Version 12 of Tesla FSD , V12.3.4.The e-bikes on a tray-type bike rack in back drastically reduce our effective maximum range from about 250 miles to about 125 miles. Fortunately, Tesla’s marvelous Supercharger network still makes it a no-brainer and easy to manage.
I’ve had FSD 12 now for several months and had managed to limit myself to two “Forced Disengagements.” However, on a long cross-country trip, it’s easy to lose concentration eventually, and by the end of our second day, I had managed to get three more “Forced Disengagements” and lost access to FSD. That meant that I lost access for the last 650 miles of our trip. I will need to wait 7 days to regain access to FSD and get a new set of five “Forced Disengagements.
When I left Utah, I had FSD V12.3.4, but I was notified that a new software version was ready to be downloaded. Unfortunately, you cannot download the software while Supercharging. Too bad — that would be a time when you are killing time anyway. Therefore, I waited until the evening of the first day at the Bavarian Inn at Custer South Dakota. The Bavarian Inn had two destination chargers; one was a Tesla Destination Charger that was already occupied by a Tesla Model S.
Driving through Wyoming is a land of contrasts. We still see mile-long heavily laden “unit” coal trains pulled by 3 diesels with another diesel pushing at the end .We also see an immense coal power plant.On the other hand, we also saw hundreds of wind turbines like we see in Figure 7. But the most fascinating are the incredibly long wind turbine blades and tower sections en route on the interstate .
