... I'm mildly curious as to why you chose to use your RAV 4 instead of the better-suited Model S - was it just to advertise the JdeMO?
I've actually made the trip from Mexico to Canada many times, first in a brand new 2012 LEAF, then in both the 2015 Tesla Model S-70D, as well as 3 different 2012-2014 RAV4 EVs, one time pulling a trailer with a total of 1500 pounds of load.
The last trip made in June 2017 was done for two reasons:
1) It was the five year anniversary of the 9 day BC2BC trip of June 2012
2) I needed to deliver my car to its new owner who was going to use it in Canada
3) I wanted to set a benchmark for what could be done today with lowly 50kW infrastructure and a 3-5 year old EV
4) It's almost silly to do this in a Tesla... it's too easy
Sadly for the advancement of technology, I think I could beat a Bolt EV in a flat out race from Mexico to Canada in a RAV4 EV.
