DeaconKC Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Since @Subdeacon Joe and the Missus are thinking of fleeing California in 2 years, I thought I would follow @Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L's lead and start a countdown thread for him! 730 days!

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 You and the wife will need to take a few long weekends, at B&B locations in other states. It will help acclimate you to living in the USA again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 This is a serious question. You're moving from California to someplace east of the Mississippi (I forget where). I assume that you will have your furniture and stuff loaded up on a truck and driven over there. Then you and the Mrs hop in your car and away you go. It's an electric car. How far can it go on a charge - 200 miles maybe? How do you plan on getting across the country? Drive 200 miles, then rent a motel and hang around till it's got a charge, then another 200 miles? Take you a month. Selling it in California and then buying another one when you get to wherever you're going is usually a bad idea. Cars lose a lot of value once they've left the lot. Rent a gasoline car, and a car hauler, and trailer the electric car across the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Pretty simple, you rent a small U Haul for valuables and "Must haves" to get by with in case the truck is delayed, and a little car trailer to haul behind it. Don't know how bad the PR of C has become, it may be you have to rent just across the border, pop in and back out. I didn't have to tow a car, but did the U Haul when I moved to Montana. Worked great, and our moving van was slightly delayed but we had all the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rent a gasoline car, and a car hauler, and trailer the electric car across the country? Our lease on the car is up next year, we may go to a plug-in hybrid pickup. Still evaluating. The stuff we want to take will get loaded up in one of the pod type things and sent to KY. We'll have the basics to get by and drive. Right now with what we have the range is about 160 miles. I forget the exact route I had roughed out, but it was to Salt Lake City, then take I-70. Right now the longest stretch between fast chargers is about 120 miles, and we expect by 2014 2024 it will be better. It doesn't take all that long to charge at a fast charger, maybe 45 minutes. With advancing technology that will improve. Already there are cars on the market that go from 20% to 80% in under 20 minutes. It isn't the 57 hours or whatever the anti-EV people bray.

Pat Riot Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Joe, I met a guy that drove his Tesla from Pennsylvania to Southern California recently. His range was a bit further but he said with creative planning it's doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla has a nice feature that will plan out routes for you, let you know how far between charge stations. I see more manufacturers doing the same in the near future.

Sedalia Dave Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 SDJ If at all possible plan a route that doesn't include I-70 through Denver. The stretch of I-70 between the Utah border and Denver is a pretty crappy drive. Denver's traffic is at least as bad if not worse than Sacramento's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Joe remember that moving companies dont transport guns, ammo or explosive/flammable components. It may make your load-out a little heavier. Imis ( looking at this in the near future, only a very shorty distance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have kin in Rockcastle County (Dad was from Mount Vernon) not far from there and some near Cincinnati OH. Most important is that there is an Orthodox parish in Nicholasville.
