The reviewer notes the removal of bollards at Supercharger locations, a change attributed to the Cybertruck. The trip concluded with a 205-mile leg to Tampa, arriving with 3% charge.

The reviewer found the trip easy but long, with the charging stops being a necessary but manageable part of the journey.
