Math time…3,121 miles divided by 4.5 days = 694 miles per day!!!! (Or perhaps it was closer to 5 days, so let’s work the math on that one: 3,121 miles divided by 5 days = 624 miles per days!!!)  No matter how you crack it, that’s a ton of miles per day.
The trip, completed by Model S owner Norman Hajjar, started at his home in Thousand Oaks, CA.  from there, Hajjar ventured south to Tijuana, Mexico before heading north to Canada.  Then, Hajjar ventured south again to return to his home in California.
According to Hajjar, the trip took “4+ days” and the cost for fuel was $0.  Hajjar charged only at Tesla Superchargers spread out along his chosen route.  Hajjar’s journey was made possible by the recently completed West Coast Supercharger corridor.
