We pick up a brand new Model X from the Tesla dealership in San Francisco and begin our journey. Graham tests out the Autopilot feature despite his fears. We get stuck at our first Supercharger stop and have to call Tesla for help.
"No Hands!"
We tried to stop by the Grand Canyon but couldn't make it happen because there are no Tesla Supercharger stations nearby.
"No Grand Canyon for us"
We start to test the limits of the Model X and see what makes the Tesla panoramic windshield so special. Also, Graham definitely does not see a double rainbow.
"Panoramic windshield"
We start to drive each other crazy. We have an argument at our first Supercharger stop and separate briefly at our second stop. Graham takes a long nap while Will drives to Omaha.
"Things are tense"
We check out the Model X "frunk" and show off the Falcon Wing doors. Then we drive by Warren Buffett's house and eat at his favorite steakhouse.
"Navigate to Warren Buffett's house"
We wake up in Chicago and head to the top of the Willis Tower before heading out of town. We test the incredible "Summon" feature and watch the car drive to us without anyone inside the car! Graham is nervous about getting electrocuted charging the Tesla in the rain.
"Check it out dude, I'm summoning it!"
Leaving Cleveland, the navigation system said that we would arrive at our next Supercharger station with only 2% battery power. That estimate was quickly downgraded to 1%. This was most certainly caused by poor planning on our part.
