This one was supposed to be a straightforward road trip down to Florida for my second triathlon… and then my 2025 Tesla Model Y Performance basically said “nope” at a Supercharger in Indiana. After about 23k miles, I ended up stranded at the charger, dealing with that super fun mix of confusion, frustration, and the reality of being on a schedule when your car decides it’s done. I walk through what it feels like when the plan falls apart mid-trip, and what I did next to keep the whole thing moving. From there, the video turns into a real-world look at EV road tripping when things aren’t perfect—how I handled the delay, why it’s extra stressful when you’re traveling for an event, and what I learned from the experience. I also take you along for the rest of the journey and into the triathlon itself, because that was the whole point of the trip in the first place. If you own a Tesla (or you’re thinking about doing long road trips in one), this is an honest look at the highs… and the moments where you’re just stuck staring at a Supercharger like, “seriously?”
