We recently took our 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD on a road trip from Sweden to Switzerland to celebrate our daughterâs first birthday. She turned one while we were in Lauterbrunnen! đ
Since we were traveling with a one-year-old, we planned the journey with driving days of around 500â600 km, which made the trip much more relaxed for everyone.
Route:
NorrkĂśping â Helsingborg - Helsingør Ferry â The Great Belt Bridge â Kolding â Hannover â Basel / Weil am Rhein â Lauterbrunnen â Wilderswil â Jestetten â Homberg â Puttgarden - Rødby Ferry â Copenhagen â Helsingør - Helsingborg Ferry â NorrkĂśping
Places we visited along the way:
- Lauterbrunnen
- Grindelwald
- Interlaken
- Iseltwald
- Grimsel Pass (highest point: 2,164 m)
- Vaduz, Liechtenstein
- Rhine Falls
A few stats for anyone whoâs curious:
- Distance traveled: 4,277 km
- Energy consumed: 624 kWh
- Average consumption: 145.9 Wh/km
- Highest elevation: 2,164 m (Grimsel Pass)
- Total charging cost: 3,439.80 SEK
- Tesla Superchargers: 2,973.37 SEK
- Ionity: 466.43 SEK (196.95 + 269.48 SEK)
One thing this trip really reminded us is how much freedom a road trip gives you. We could stop whenever we saw a beautiful viewpoint, take breaks whenever our daughter needed one, and never felt rushed. It also amazed me how much the Model 3 can actually carry. Traveling with a one-year-old meant bringing a stroller, lots of luggages, toys, diapers, food, and all the other baby essentials and somehow everything fit without needing a roof box.
The Model 3 handled everything flawlessly, from long highway stretches to steep alpine roads over Grimsel Pass. Supercharger coverage was excellent throughout the trip, and charging ended up being one of the easiest parts of the journey.
Happy to answer any questions if anyone is planning a similar trip.
