I recently completed an 1100 mile trip in 16 hours in a 15-year old gas-driven car. It would probably take me three days in a shiny new electric vehicle.

The guy in the video linked below decided to see if he could drive 1000 miles in a day in a Tesla Model 3. He averaged 24 minutes per charging stop.

He says he traveled 973 miles in 16.5 hours. (He stopped at his hotel instead of finishing the 1,000 miles.) That was divided into 14 hours 6 minutes of actual driving and 2 hours 24 minutes of charging. He kept the battery between 20% and 80% charged. He made six stops to charge, averaging 24 minutes each.

He says the actual practical range of the car for non-urban driving is about 250 miles, not 310 as claimed.
