We drove the Tesla Model X from San Francisco to New York in just under a week to see what it's really like to take an all-electric vehicle on an aggressive cross-country road trip.

We limited our charging to Tesla's network of US Supercharger stations, of which there are 861.

Each day we traveled to a city that was about eight hours from our starting point. In addition to the drive time, we had to add time spent at the Supercharger stations, which usually took about an hour per full charge.

In case you were thinking about taking a Tesla on a cross-country road trip this summer, we already did it so you can see what it's really like.
