The mechanic
A 24-hour chain of brand-new Superchargers
Tesla scores the longest chain of unique Supercharger sites. Each new site has to start within 24 hours of the start of the last new one. Miss a day, the chain ends. Repeats don’t count — and don’t reset the clock.

The category
Why Longest Trip
Three facts, all inside the driver’s control. Nothing here depends on what anyone else is doing.
A new VIN
Charging history doesn’t follow you between vehicles. A brand-new Cyberbeast is a brand-new VIN, and a new VIN starts the year at zero.
Day one
The streak can begin the day the truck is delivered. The first Supercharge is unique site number one — the clock starts there.
The plan
One new unique Supercharger site every calendar day of the campaign. Rest days included.
Legs are not sessions
The 13 legs are route segments — how the map divides, not how the score counts. The streak is the daily unique stop, wherever the route happens to be that day.
The playbook
Daily operating rules
Set before day one. Followed every day of the run.
- 01
At least one brand-new unique Supercharger site every calendar day — rest days included.
- 02
Each new unique site must start within 24 hours of the previous unique session’s start.
- 03
Short sessions: arrive low, charge to roughly 40%, keep moving.
- 04
Repeat visits are allowed — they don’t extend the streak and don’t reset the clock.
- 05
Charging data sharing enabled from delivery day. First Supercharge = streak day one.
- 06
Open the 2026 Charging Passport in December, and again after the final session of the year.
