Not sure if I would take one of those on a road trip around the country. I doubt there are many car charging stations in middle of Texas.
What would be your choice of car for a Pool Road Trip?

Tesla has free super charger sites just about every 60-70 miles on all major freeways and all around major cities. I think Teslas can go 99% across the US hitting the free super charger sites. No other electric car manufacture has done this.

That is nice, not sure I would trust myself to an all electric car yet unless I knew exactly where I would be all the time and for how long. Not until Shell/Exonn/etc... line up electric chargers along with gas and even then you are sitting there waiting for a charge vs 5 minutes to fill a tank.
Yes, not for everyone. I am retired and not in a hurry. Took 2500 trip to San Diego and it took 2 hours longer each way. But, I saved about $400 in gasoline costs. that's $100 @ hour. Worth it to me.
Show up in this and you might get a little weight
Looks like punishment.

That car looks awesome. Would love to go on a road trip in that.

I like this approach. You gotta have something that will start every time you need it to and gets from point A to B without question. Good fuel economy is common sense, and comfort is subjective matter which will turn out to be the difference between you leaving with two people and returning with one. Get something with room in it. It just works out that way. A mini van is the best choice IMO for keeping costs down.
If you want the perfect road vehicle, buy one of these mini cargo vans from Dodge, Chevy or Ford. They get good mileage and you can sleep in the suckers pretty comfortably. Im buying one pretty soon because I think they are the smartest vehicle anyone can own in this economy.

This is what I am currently traveling in for work. I play pool along the way, too, so I guess this qualifies as my pool road trip rig. :smile:

From a range of $125K to $250K you could kick off your road trip in anyone of 3 trim line models of these from Fiberglass Freaks of Indiana. https://buybatparts.com/cms/
You might be wise to restrict your trip to the states with the lower amounts of annual rainfall though.
