## Plan

- Some cars are transport. The 2026 Model Y on the Orange County coast is the activity: silent torque off every light, a glass roof over the Pacific, and driver assistance that un-stresses the only congested stretch of an otherwise perfect day.
- This loop starts in Lake Forest, runs the coast through Laguna Beach to Dana Point Harbor, and returns north for sunset — comfortably inside the car's 357-mile range with no charging stop.

## The day, stop by stop

- Morning: Lake Forest pickup, coast-bound: Collect the car with a full charge and point it at Laguna via the 405 and 133. Arrive before midday to beat the beach-lot rush.
- Midday: Laguna Beach + Dana Point Harbor: Galleries and coves in Laguna, then lunch and a harbor stroll in Dana Point. The frunk plus trunk swallow beach gear, coolers, and shopping without stacking the cabin.
- Golden hour: northbound PCH cruise: Head back up the coast into the sunset. Autopilot-grade assistance takes the edge off PCH stop-and-go while the glass roof does the entertaining.

## Why the 2026 Model Y owns this day

- 357-mile range: the whole loop several times over — no mid-day charging math.
- Full Self-Driving + Autopilot: built for the I-5/405 stretches and PCH traffic.
- 450 included miles per trip: drive the loop, then keep exploring.
- Glass roof, keyless entry, GPS, toll pass: the coast-day spec sheet, standard.

## Good to know

- Must be 25+ to book this car; return it recharged.
- Flying in? Pair this day with SNA pickup, minutes from the start point.

## FAQ

- Do I need to charge during the day? — No. The loop runs well inside the 357-mile range, and Orange County Supercharger density is your backstop if plans expand.
- Does Full Self-Driving work on Pacific Coast Highway? — Driver assistance shines on the highway stretches and in stop-and-go traffic. You stay responsible for the car at all times — it's assistance, not autonomy.
- How many people fit comfortably? — Five seats plus large frunk-and-trunk cargo. For 7-8 passengers, look at the Palisade or Telluride instead.
