Charging stops & Tesla-labelled locations
Charging checkpoints are energy estimates. Locations below come from community map data and are not confirmed Superchargers. Confirm connector compatibility, availability and routing in Tesla navigation.
Potential Tesla charging locations along the route
Fun stops along the way
Nearby attractions from OpenStreetMap; verify opening hours and detour times.
Estimates only. Charging-stop counts use simplified energy assumptions, not live battery telemetry, charger availability, weather, elevation, charging curves, or traffic. Charging cost covers estimated en-route energy replenishment, not electricity already in your battery. Always confirm actual stops in Tesla navigation. Map © OpenStreetMap contributors.
Plan Your Tesla Road Trip With Charging Stops, Costs and Attractions
Planning a road trip in your Tesla? Our free Tesla Road Trip Planner helps you explore your route before leaving home.
Enter your starting address and destination to see an interactive driving map, estimated travel distance, potential charging locations, estimated electricity costs, and interesting places to visit along the way.
Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a cross-country adventure, this tool helps you understand what to expect before hitting the road.
How to Use the Tesla Road Trip Planner
Getting started is simple:
Enter your starting address. Choose where your trip begins.
Enter your destination. Add the city, hotel, attraction, or address you’re traveling to.
Calculate your route. View the driving route and estimated distance.
Review charging estimates. See approximately how many charging stops your trip may require and what charging could cost.
Explore potential charging locations. Review Tesla-labelled charging locations near your route.
Discover fun stops. Find attractions and places worth exploring along the way.
The planner is designed for preliminary trip research. Always confirm actual charging stops and battery requirements using your Tesla’s navigation system.
How Many Charging Stops Will Your Tesla Need?
The number of charging stops depends on several factors, including your Tesla model, battery capacity, starting charge level, driving speed, weather, and route conditions.
For example, a 600-mile highway trip may require multiple charging stops, but the exact number will differ between vehicles and driving conditions.
Cold weather, high speeds, strong headwinds, and elevation changes can increase energy consumption.
Our planner provides an approximate charging-stop count based on the trip distance and vehicle inputs. It does not guarantee that the charging locations shown will match those estimated stops.
Tip: Use your Tesla’s built-in Trip Planner before departure and while driving. It can recommend charging locations based on your vehicle’s current battery level and other driving conditions.
How Much Does a Tesla Road Trip Cost?
One advantage of electric vehicles is the ability to estimate energy costs before a trip.
Charging expenses depend on the electricity rate, vehicle efficiency, and energy needed to complete the journey.
For example, consider a hypothetical 600-mile road trip:
| Trip factor | Example |
|---|---|
| Distance | 600 miles |
| Average energy consumption | 300 Wh/mile |
| Estimated driving energy | 180 kWh |
| Example charging rate | $0.40/kWh |
| Estimated electricity value | $72 |
This example assumes all 180 kWh is purchased at the stated rate. It excludes charging losses, fees, and differences between starting battery energy and electricity purchased during the trip.
Your actual charging bill may be higher or lower.
Supercharger prices vary by location and may change based on the time of day.
How to Reduce Tesla Road Trip Charging Costs
A few simple strategies may help reduce the cost of your next trip:
Start with an appropriate charge level. Charging at home before departure may be less expensive than buying the same energy on the road.
Compare charging prices. Review available pricing information before choosing a stop.
Avoid unnecessary high-speed driving. Higher speeds can significantly increase energy consumption.
Use Tesla navigation. It can help plan charging stops and prepare the battery for fast charging.
Check your tire pressure. Proper inflation helps maintain efficiency and safety.
Look for destination charging. Hotels and other accommodations sometimes offer charging facilities.
Find Fun Stops Along Your Tesla Road Trip
A road trip should be about more than reaching your destination.
Our Tesla Road Trip Planner helps you discover attractions and interesting places near your route.
Depending on the location, you may find parks, landmarks, sightseeing opportunities, and other places worth considering.
These stops can turn a routine charging break into an opportunity to explore somewhere new.
Remember that visiting an attraction may add driving distance, time, and energy consumption beyond the original route estimate.
Tesla Road Trip Planner Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Tesla Road Trip Planner free?
Yes. The MyTeslaSavings Tesla Road Trip Planner is free to use.
Does the planner show Tesla Superchargers?
The planner displays potential Tesla-labelled charging locations found in third-party map data. These locations are not guaranteed to be verified, operational Tesla Superchargers.
Always confirm charging locations using Tesla’s official navigation or charging map.
Can I estimate the cost of a Tesla road trip?
Yes. The planner estimates charging expenses using your trip distance and selected energy assumptions. Actual costs depend on electricity prices, driving efficiency, and charging conditions.
Does the planner work with Tesla Model 3 and Model Y?
Yes. It can be used to research trips for Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck. Enter appropriate vehicle assumptions for a more useful estimate.
Can I find attractions along my route?
Yes. The planner helps identify places of interest near your driving route. Additional detours may change the total trip distance and cost.
Is this the same as Tesla’s built-in Trip Planner?
No. MyTeslaSavings provides an independent trip-planning and cost-estimation tool.
Tesla’s built-in navigation uses vehicle-specific information to recommend charging stops and should be your primary source for charging decisions during travel.
