How this trip happened

The Plot Twist

A day before the move, our truck driver ghosted us — and then no one else would take the job.

Then we learned why: almost no carrier wanted a California-to-Florida run that week. Call after call came back the same — no truck, no carrier, no gray Model Y rolling onto a transporter bound for Tampa.

Two options: rebook flights, keep hunting for a driver, and pray it all lined up — or just drive it ourselves.

So three generations of Singhs packed into the 2026 Model Y, flipped on Full Self-Driving, and pointed it east. A logistics mess became the road trip of a lifetime: 3,143 miles, coast to coast, in America's 250th year.

Sometimes the best plans are the ones that fall apart.

The Itinerary

No-Detour Sightseeing, Day by Day

★ ★ ★

The final one-shot push down I-75. Peaches give way to palms — you cross the entire country and roll into the driveway.

🌲 Georgia Pine Country

Scenic Drive

South of Macon, I-75 runs for miles through red clay and walls of longleaf pine — the Deep South opening up out the window.

💡Georgia is one of the original 13 colonies; you're rolling through its piney heart toward Florida.

🦬 Paynes Prairie Overlook

Vista Point

Near Gainesville, I-75 lifts across a vast 21,000-acre savanna basin — a wide-open sweep where wild horses, bison, and gators roam below.

💡There's a roadside overlook on the rim; the prairie was a Spanish cattle ranch back in the 1600s.

🐎 Ocala Horse Country

Scenery

Rolling green pastures and white fences line I-75 — the 'Horse Capital of the World,' home to the vast World Equestrian Center.

💡Florida produces more champion thoroughbreds per acre than almost anywhere on Earth.

🏁 Home: Wesley Chapel

Finish Line

3,143 miles, 8 days, 12 states, one continent crossed. The driveway never looked so good.

💡You crossed the United States in its 250th year — a coast-to-coast salute to the Semiquincentennial.
