    Driving between Tunica MS and Huntsville AL has two routes:

    • 234 miles
    • 4 hours @55-60 mph

    upload_2023-4-11_6-14-0.png
    • 260 miles
    • 4 hours 45 minutes @65-70 mph
      • 30 minute charging and biology break
    Either route works. The shorter one is faster and cheaper by avoiding SuperCharger fees. However, it requires a full charge leaving home or the hotel. The longer one is slower and costs ~$10 charging but includes a break at a shopping mall with a food court, ~$10, and bathrooms.

    If I’m younger, I’d take the northern route and if I’m older (or with kids/pets), I’d take the southern route.

    But yeah that also depends on the charging situation at Tunica.
