Feb 3, 2024 - Teslas to Trains, LA Travel and Adventure Show: Report & Photos by Carl Morrison. The show was held on Saturday and Sunday at the Los Angeles Convention Center; Traffic is relatively light to drive my 2020 Tesla 3 about 45 minutes there for the day. One unexpected cost was $25 for parking. I like to look for tourist trains to mention to my TrainWeb.com/carl readers and TeslaTouring.com/carl readers as a destination to which they could drive their Teslas or other EVs. A highlight for me is also hearing Travel Writer, Pauline Frommer, "Life-Enhancing Vacations that won't break the bank"... Read More>> |

Sep 24, 2023 - Tesla 1,000-mile round trip to ride the Virginia and Truckee Railway: Photos & Text by Carl Morrison. Headquartered in Virginia City, Nevada, the Virginia and Truckee (V&T) Railroad is one of the most famous short lines in the history of the United States, so much so that it uses the service mark 'The Queen of Short Lines'. The railroad operated until 1950 and then was dormant for more than two decades. But in 1972, private owners began the process to reopen V&T as a heritage railroad; and in 1976, trains would resume operating. Shortly thereafter, they acquired a mainstay for the line, Virginia and Truckee #29. The Virginia and Truckee Railroad is a privately owned heritage railroad, headquartered in Virginia City, Nevada. Its private and publicly owned route is 14 miles (23 km) long. When first constructed in the 19th century, it was a commercial freight railroad (reporting mark VT) which was originally built to serve the Comstock Lode mining communities of northwestern Nevada. At its... Read More>> |

May 6, 2023 - Trains, Trucks and Teslas: Photos & Text by Carl Morrison. When the Southern California Railway Museum (formerly Orange Empire Railway Museum) in Perris, California, announced its Antique Truck Show on May 6, 2023, I decided that it would be a good place for a Tesla Road Trip from our home in Placentia, Orange County, California. Even though I have plenty of range for a round trip in our Model 3 Tesla, I did stop for a photo of the Lake Elsinore Outlet Mall's Tesla Superchargers at the junction of Hwy 74 and I-15.

Oct 23-29, 2022 - Renting a Tesla from Turo.com in Charlotte, North Carolina: Report & Photos by Carl Morrison. Purpose of the Trip: Our trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Roanoke, Virginia, from Southern California, to visit relatives of me and my wife, would require a rental car. Since my brother and wife in Charlotte had been interested in our 2020 Tesla Model 3, I decided to rent a Tesla in Charlotte so they could see what our and our son's 2021 Tesla Model Y were like. Needless to say, they were impressed and by taking them on an outing to the North Carolina Transportation Museum, I could show them how easily it was to use the Tesla Superchargers. First get the Turo and the Tesla Apps. I rented the 2021 Tesla Model Y through the... Read More>> |

Additionally, there would be electric vehicles on display, especially the CANOO (GOEV). Finally, this convention was in San Diego, California, only 2 hours from our home and I'd be able to drive our Tesla 3 for a couple of hours on Autopilot each way. Table of Contents: 1.

March 12-13, 2022 - LA Travel and Adventure Show, 2022: Report & Photos by Carl Morrison. I attend the Travel and Adventure Show each year when it is in Los Angeles. I get a press pass to attend in return for a report and photos for TrainWeb.com/carl and TeslaTouring.com/carl. It is held on Saturday and Sunday at the Los Angeles Convention Center; Traffic is relatively light to drive my 2020 Tesla 3 there for the day. I like to look for tourist trains to mention to my TrainWeb.com readers and there are always California destinations represented as well as Western US destinations to which we could drive our Tesla's or other EVs. (Gas this day is nearing $6 a gallon.) A highlight for me is also hearing the travel writers, this year including Peter Greenberg, and Pauline Frommer. Notes from Peter's talk: Because of the attack on Ukraine by Russia going on on this date, 60% of the air space is off limits in reference to travel. There has been a 20% increase in air fares in the last 10 days; get your tickets for future flights now and use points (which are being devalued by airlines). He stressed, "Have a conversation" with hotels, airlines, etc.because using only the Internet limits your possibilities. If the Internet says there are only 2 rooms left, that is a lie, it is only 2 rooms that have been allotted to Internet inventory. Never buy travel insurance from a cruise line or airline; buy it from a Travel Agent. There are 196 countries and only 5 you should not go to now. "Have a conversation" with your car rental company. In Hawaii they are renting cars for $1,200 a day. Because of the recent ship fire and sinking of a load of Lamborghini's, Porsche's, high end VWs, etc. Ask the car rental company, "Has this car been in a flood." And because the car agencies sold cars in COVID and listed them as stolen, ask, "Am I driving a stolen car?". When you rent a car take time-coded photos on your phone of all dents and scratches inside and out and go back and have agent verify them before taking your rental car out. Peter loves AMTRAK. He mentioned the $500 USA fare ($250 for kids). He says there are two kinds of luggage, "Carry on and Lost." If resort fees are on your bill, and... Read More>> |

Tesla Travelogue from Corvallis, Oregon, to home in Orange County, California. Tesla Travelogue of 1,000 miles from Orange County, California to Corvallis, Oregon, via I-57, I-210, and I-5. Fellow members of our Train Travel Meetup group in Fullerton, California, told me about Winterail and the fact that in 2022 it would be 2 days to accommodate all the rail-related photo shows that could not take place during COVID. Because I had about 600 miles of free charging at Tesla Superchargers, which would expire in April, I asked by railfan-buddy, Don Roe, if he would like to go on a road trip. We have been taking Amtrak trips together for over 20 years, but this would be our first car trip. I used A Better Route Planner to make plans to drive our Tesla 3 the 1,000 miles to Corvallis, Oregon... Read More>> |

January 9, 2022 - How Will You Charge Your Tesla?. The least expensive way is to charge at home. The quickest solution is to use your dryer plug, and split it with the SplitVolt (1). This allows you to use your dryer in one of the two plugs on the Split Volt and charge your EV in the other. The SplitVolt has the circuitry to make sure you are not using the dryer at the same time. If you are not using the dryer plug for a dryer, use the dryer outlet on the SplitVolt for a second Tesla. The SplitVolt gives you a readout of how many kilowatts you are using and if you know when you are drying and when you are charging, you can calculate the cost of each. (The original outlet gives no reading of how much electricity you were using for the dryer.) Since you can set your Tesla internally to charge any time; set it to charge at the lowest rate time, plug it in each night, and forget it. If your dryer plug is in your garage, you will probably need an extension cord (2) to reach your Tesla's mobile connector. (If your dryer is in a room next to the garage, as mine was, have the plug moved through to the garage side of the wall.) The solution becomes: Plug in the SplitVolt (1) to the dryer plug; plug in the extension cord (2) to the SplitVolt, plug in the mobile connector that comes with the Tesla (3) with a 10-30 adapter (4) to the extension cord, and you are in business! If you do not use your dryer plug for a dryer, you can use... Read More>> |
