Tesla goes East - from Germany to Russia by electric car (well, at least we will give it a try! :-) ). As usual, with live GPS tracking and hopefully more often than not, live video streaming. In July 2015 I made my drivers license - motivated by Model S and Bjørn's videos - just to be able to drive an electric car. Since I got my MS in 08/2015 I have driven 66k km thanks to SuCs. But Supercharging gets boring, so we gotta try something more exciting. Let's try to find red plugs in the East...
Live tracking
Live GPS tracking: Click on the marker to see our current speed, altitude etc. Updates automatically approx. every 60 seconds. If you click anywhere on the driven track (blue) and then show track profile you can see the elevation and velocity profile of the last hours/days.
We came back to Germany on Sunday, exactly after 14 days and 6010 km driven. Consumed 1153 kWh / 192 Wh/km. Visited 7 countries. Paid 25 EUR for transport/charging (50 Zloty / 11 EUR at the hotel-restaurant in Poland and 2x 500 Rubles at car repair shops in Russia, about 7 EUR each). That's about 0,4 Cents per km. Versus approximately 460 EUR for gasoline (Diesel), considering German prices and 7 liter consumption / 100 km. If we had exclusively charged at home it would have cost us 334 EUR instead (29 Cents per kWh).
Anyway, it was an awesome trip, lots of impressions in a short time and some pioneer feeling as well. And a bit of adventure too. First Western European Tesla at Moscow Supercharger = mission accomplished.
Thanks to everyone for checking the blog and see you soon. :)
Lastly a quick animation of the driven track / recorded GPS positions:
You almost can't see anything so I'm also attaching a pic of a cute pet toy
as compensation. We actually didn't have to charge here or at the previous
one but I thought I'd just visit them all. :-)
