Today is the last leg of our journey. I have driven almost 8,200km, and we have successfully drove our Tesla Model Y from Richmond Hill, Ontario to Calgary. Jasper being the furthest point from home.
As with most of our days, we started off with the hotel offered breakfast, and then we set about our ways on the road. Since we did the outbound trip via the ferry from Tobermory, most of this stretch (anything East of Espanola) will be new to us. The speed limit increased from the meagre 90kph to 110kph in the Northern portion of Highway 400. This was of course a pleasant surprise.
We also stopped at our first Tesla Supercharging station at Port Severn that look like a really well thought out rest stop for both EV and regular gasoline vehicles.
The major let down of the whole trip was that on the previous night, unbeknownst to me, I accidentally unplugged our portable fridge and all the delicious Mackay’s Ice Cream that we purchased in Alberta were all melted. Ruined on the last leg!
Lesson learned. Always check the temperature of the fridge when entering the vehicle.
This concludes our road trip. I will be doing another post on the charging statistics in a separate post.
