As a Tesla Model 3 reservation holder in London, I’m pretty excited about Tesla’s latest announcement. In case you missed it, the big news is that…

– Back to Tesla Model S Road Trip – Day 3

On our last full day with the Tesla Model S, we started off from our AirBnB at Breil/Brigels with a fully charged battery thanks to our hosts kindly allowing us to charge overnight. This saved us quite a bit of time and meant we had no worries about range as we headed to our first destination. On the way we stopped for breakfast in Chur, where I was able to take advantage of Autopark for the first time…

It was a beautiful sunny day in Switzerland when we awoke on day 3 in Wilderswil, near Interlaken. After a complementary hotel breakfast we headed for our first destination at Alpnachstad.

Finally, out of the torrential rain the distinctive shape of the Tesla appeared…

In July we will be taking a drive through through Southern Germany, the Swiss Alps and Austria. 1,600km over 4 days, taking in high speed German Autobahns, twisty Alpine passes and beautiful scenery. But this will be a road trip with a difference – we’ll be doing the journey in a Tesla Model S. For those who don’t know, the Tesla Model S is a large, luxury saloon car (or sedan in the US) which is 100% electric and can go over 250 miles on a charge.
