An estimate for planning, not navigation. Real range depends on speed, temperature, wind, elevation and battery condition; times assume typical charging speeds and ignore queues. Always confirm stalls in the Tesla app. Routes come from the public OpenStreetMap routing service; place suggestions from OpenStreetMap-based search (Photon).

How to plan a Tesla road trip

  1. Enter your route. Type a start and a destination; suggestions appear as you type, or tap the target icon to use your location.
  2. Choose your car and battery. Pick your model, how full the battery is and how much you want left on arrival.
  3. Review the stops. See where to charge, for how long, and how much battery you will have at each stop.
  4. Take it with you. Open the route in Google Maps or Apple Maps, share the link, or download a GPX file.

Tips for charging on a road trip

  • Charge to about 80% at each stop: the last 20% takes much longer, so two shorter stops are usually faster than one long one.
  • Start navigating to the Supercharger in the car's navigation so the battery is warmed up in time.
  • Leave a buffer for wind, hills and cold weather, and check the station page for notes, hours and recent driver reports.
  • Prefer bigger sites (8 or more stalls) on busy holiday routes; the planner lets you require 150 kW or 250 kW sites.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Tesla trip planner work?

Enter where you start and where you are going, pick your car and how much battery you have. The planner finds the route, then chooses open Superchargers along it so that you always arrive at each stop with a safe reserve, and charges only as much as the next leg needs (or up to your limit).

Is this the same as the planner in my Tesla?

No. The car's own navigation uses live data such as traffic, weather and stall availability, and it preconditions the battery on the way to a Supercharger. Use this page to plan ahead, compare options and share the stops; let the car do the live routing on the day.

How accurate are the charging times?

They are estimates. Real charging speed depends on battery temperature and level, how many stalls are in use and the site's power. Charging is fastest at a low battery level and slows noticeably above about 80%, which is why the planner defaults to charging up to 80%.

Can I open the plan in Google Maps or Apple Maps?

Yes. After planning, use the Google Maps or Apple Maps buttons to open the route with your charging stops as waypoints, or download a GPX file for other navigation apps.

Why does the planner leave a reserve?

Arriving with a small buffer (10% by default) covers headwinds, hills, detours and a stall that turns out to be unavailable. You can change it, but we recommend not going lower than 10%.

Does it work for other electric cars with a Tesla (NACS) port?

The map shows Tesla Superchargers only. Drivers of other brands should check each station page for whether it is open to non-Tesla vehicles and which plug it needs before relying on a stop.

What affects my real range?

Speed, temperature, wind, elevation, tyres, cargo and towing all matter. The "Conditions" setting lowers the assumed range for fast highway driving, cold weather or towing.
