A group of friends embarked on a 24-hour road trip from California to Washington using Tesla's autopilot feature. They documented their journey, showcasing the car's capabilities, and sharing their experiences, including charging the car for free, eating on the go, and taking naps. Along the way, they encountered various obstacles, such as a swarm of birds pooping on their car and running low on battery, but managed to overcome them. The group eventually had to sleep in their car due to a lack of hotel rooms, but made the most of it by cuddling up for body heat. They finished their trip with a visit to a peach farm and a sighting of wild turkeys in Washington.
