Legendary Road • 8 States

Route 66 by Tesla

The Mother Road in an electric car? That’s exactly the point: the Supercharger network covers the entire historic alignment, and retro diners taste better while the car charges silently outside. 2,400 miles, 8 states, 14 days — American history in its most modern form.

From Chicago to Santa Monica

Start at Chicago’s Buckingham Fountain, then St. Louis with the Gateway Arch, Oklahoma, the Cadillac Ranch near Amarillo, Santa Fe and Albuquerque, the Grand Canyon — and after 14 days, the “End of the Trail” sign on the Santa Monica Pier.

Electric on the Mother Road

Superchargers in Springfield, Elk City, Kingman, and Barstow pace the long legs; our two KML files (Chicago→Oklahoma, Oklahoma→LA) contain every detour worth taking. The AI app additionally knows which diner has a charger in its parking lot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — the route largely parallels I-40/I-44 today, which have seamless coverage. You drive the historic segments as loops, never more than one charge from the next station.

14 days is the ideal pace: enough time for ghost towns, diners, and two Grand Canyon days. Our Route 66 Revival tour is timed exactly that way.

Traditionally Chicago → Santa Monica (westward) — so the trip ends with a Pacific sunset. One-way LA drop-off included.

Gateway Arch (St. Louis), Cadillac Ranch (Amarillo), historic Santa Fe, the Wigwam Motel (Holbrook), Grand Canyon South Rim, and of course the End-of-the-Trail sign in Santa Monica.

Best mixed: desert and national-park nights in the rooftop tent, with a neon-sign retro motel in between — both belong to Route 66. Your gear keeps you flexible.
