Elon Musk is going on a road trip -- a 3,200-mile, all-electric road trip across the United States.
The Tesla Motors founder and CEO is ready to show off the prowess -- as well as every-day practicality -- of his company's Model S with a road trip from Los Angeles to New York.
That's a six-day trip -- of which only nine hours will be spent charging his car's battery, he tweeted today.
According to TechCrunch, a successful trip will allow Musk to silence "naysayers who maintain that" travel by electric car simply won't do -- and is in fact "impossible in some circumstances."
Musk says that he'll be able to charge the car in normal stops to eat or pee -- in other words, like a normal drive, minus the stops for gas.
Just finalized the LA to NY family road trip route in Model S. 6 day, 3200 mile journey with only 9 hrs spent charging. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 5, 2013
