With good range and efficiency, charge stop route planning built-in, and the Supercharger network all over the place, is the Tesla Model 3 really the best EV road trip machine?

Having driven to Italy in the Kia e-Niro ([ Ссылка ]) and Hyundai IONIQ 5 ([ Ссылка ]) before — wrestling with A Better Route Planner each time — I was keen to try a similar journey with a Tesla which should make life much easier.

Will it be stress-free? Will it fit all our luggage? Will Flaviana like it? Her previous Model 3 experience wasn't so good, after all. [ Ссылка ]
