Upcoming road trip tips and recommendations

Hello wonderful community,

My wife and I are going on a road trip in a few weeks. It's our first big road trip in this car, and EV. Going from home (Los Angeles are) to Austin, TX. I do have free charging from EA with my 24 BMW i4 M50.

A few questions I have:

  1. Has anyone done this trip?

  2. Can I or should I stick to EA charging stations only?

  3. Should I use Tesla supercharging stations as well? I do have the BMW recommended adapter

  4. Anything else I'm missing or should consider?

  5. Daily and shorter trips I use Android Auto and Google maps, should I use BMW maps for routing including charging stops?

  6. Drive mode settings I should use?

  7. Any car settings I should change or use to make driving and the trip go smoothly? (B mode, etc)

Please let me know your long distance trips recommendations. I did download the app ABRP. Any other apps? Tesla app for charging?

Thank you all in advance.
