Best Supercharger stops: Los Angeles to Las Vegas

About 270 miles and 4 hours of driving on I-15. A Tesla charges fastest when its battery is low, so the best stop is usually where you'd arrive with about 10 to 50 percent. For a car with about 300 miles of range that leaves full, that's between miles 150 and 270.

Questions

Do I need to charge between Los Angeles and Las Vegas?

Often not. The drive is about 270 miles on I-15, so a Tesla with about 300 miles of range that leaves full can usually make it. Cold weather, mountain climbs and high speeds use more range, so a short top-up is a sensible break.

Where is the best place to charge?

Charging is fastest when the battery is low, so the best stops are about 150 to 270 miles in for a car that leaves full. On this drive that window includes Baker.
