To mark the occasion, two teams will race to set a cross-country speed record in an electric vehicle, Musk continued.
Superchargers allow Tesla owners to charge their cars quickly and for free, for life. The network is a big part of Tesla's efforts to convince drivers that range anxiety - the fear of running out of power on the road - shouldn't stop them from going electric.

Musk also confirmed he will set off on the cross-country trip he first announced in May, accompanied by his five young sons:
Will be doing the LA-NY family road trip over Spring Break. Made everyone watch National Lampoon's Vacation as prep.
