2nd Annual Tesla Takeover Road Trip

On April 13, 2018, My Tesla Adventure had their second annual My Tesla Adventure Roadtrip and filled up all 40 stalls of the Kettleman City Tesla Supercharger

Imagine going to a gas station and trying to befriend other car owners. You’re likely to have odd looks or strange, glances aimed your way while the person you are trying to befriend rushes to fill their tanks and go.

At Tesla superchargers, the atmosphere is more relaxed and people are more friendlier. They are also open to sharing their love of Tesla and how they became Tesla owners with you.

So naturally, inviting someone to go on an adventure wouldn’t seem strange at all, but fun! And this is just what My Tesla Adventure does.


One of the most beautiful things about the Tesla community is how they are open with their love of something that empowers both them and others.

Tesla makes clean energy cars and cuts the carbon impact by tons on a daily basis. This community is supportive of that goal and wants to create a better world for our children and their children.

My Tesla Adventure reminds Tesla owners visually by inviting them to explore the world around them–the very world that Tesla is impacting for the better.

Watch the full video below to experience the 2nd Annual My Tesla Adventure Roadtrip right from your home, office or wherever you are.

Where to Buy Elon Musk’s TeslaQuila

How to Drink TeslaQuila "Like a Sir".

TeslaQuila should always be warmed to a balmy 80 degrees. Ideal consumption range should be between 80 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit or 26 - 29 degrees Celsius. Elon Musk's TeslaQuila should never be sipped or sniffed, it shall be poured into a shot glass and consumed promptly. This is not your mothers Tequila so put away those dam limes and salt.

The Tesla Quick Draw Challenge

The Tesla Quick Draw Challenge

The Tesla Quick Draw Challenge began by accident while having fun with Ryan of  IG: @TeslaMotorsClub and Taylor of IG: @TslaPics and  @iambrod5ky. It is not well known that the Tesla Charging Button which sends out a signal to open the charging door on Tesla's has a fairly long range... Long enough for a Tesla Quick Draw Challenge!

 Participate in the Tesla Quick Draw Challenge

To participate in the Tesla Quick Draw Challenge, have a friend, family member, or random stranger film you, grab a Tesla charging handle, wait for a call to draw, swing your charger, point and shoot! Don't forget to challenge a friend to participate.

Why did we do this? Because we enjoy the little things in life and want to share them with fellow Tesla Owners who share our Outlook. If you like what we are doing, kindly follow us on Instagram and YouTube.

The Grand Traverse – Part Time Everything

The North America Tesla Road Trip - The grand traverse

In 2014 I did a road trip across Canada, to be able to do a similar trip with a fully electrical vehicle a few puts in perspective of how fast the electrical transition is coming our way. The idea of driving across north America to a final stop in Whistler, BC for the winter grew and became a full adventure trying to ski different mountains and areas along the way. Our main destinations included Detroit, Grand Rapids, Colorado and Utah. We used the supercharger map to plan our route between these destinations. Tesla made a really good job of covering those main roads.

It’s amazing to see the ever changing landscape and weather while driving from one coast to the other. Whether it’s mountains, lakes, never ending farmland, this road trip always has something to offer. My favorite part was on the route 84 between Colorado and Utah through the canyons. We drove as the sun was setting and reflecting on the rock walls that surrounded us.

Episode 2:  The Cities Are Our Skiing Playground 

Last time we checked in we were driving east to west through the states skiing different places along the way. We have now made it to our first stop on the Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. The Vancouver Island has incredible forests and vegetation. We headed to a small surf town called Tofino where we surfed for a few days, the surf town has hotels with chargers and there is a supercharger right when you arrive on the island.

After a great time on the Island it was time for us to head out to Whistler, our final destination where we would spend the winter. Whistler is amazing for all types of riding. Whether you like nice groomers, powder or park.  If you are not much of a skier or snowboarder you can still enjoy a nice sight-seeing by taking the peak to peak across the two mountains, a must do on a sunny day. 

The next episode will be about street skiing, freestyle skiing using the cities as our playground.

Tesla Semi Spotting

Tesla Semi Spotting - Tesla Rocklin

Stopping to charge

The pair of prototype Tesla Semi's stopped charge midway between the Giga Factory in Sparks, NV and the Tesla Factory in Fremont, CA. The drivers confirmed they were driving the 300 mile range prototypes making the Rocklin Tesla store the ideal mid way point charging location. They also confirmed that they were carrying batteries although they were not allowed to confirm the exact weight being towed. The drivers were very gracious and talked to store visitors and were kind enough to let us take photos with their trucks.

The near silent Tesla Semi takeoff.

It was amazing to be standing 10 feet away from the Semi and having it roll by with barely a round.

Following the Tesla Semi on I80 freeway.

We were interested to see how the Tesla Semi's would perform with freeway acceleration  and if they would be utilizing caravan mode. Although they did not engage in caravan mode for the duration of our follow we did witness the on-ramp acceleration and it was ludicrous. We had to punch it in our Model S to catch up.
