TRAIL GUIDE 01 · FIRST DIRT DAY

Make the first trip easy.

Choose a short road and good weather. Set an early turnaround time. Learn how the vehicle works on dirt while help is still near.

Learn your off-pavement energy use while help is near.

Choose an easy road

Choose a route with service near both ends. It must have no required obstacle and enough space to turn around. Plan to exit before dark.

Tell someone your route and return time. Download the route, land-manager map, and charger details before you leave pavement.

Set a time limit and a battery limit before the drive. Turn around when you reach either limit. Do not continue because the destination is near.
