Everyone is saying yes, but I think 15 days in most people would quit. I don't think I could physically do it.
I can think of 10mil reasons to stay very motivated to continue without struggle.

This is a stupid question. Anyone would do this. Now the same but sitting on a seat of nails would make it interesting. I’d still do it for $10m

I'm trying to decide if I'd do it for $400k

Pretty much. Most people saying easy probably haven't driven anywhere close to that long of a haul. I drove from Birmingham, AL to Odessa, TX in one day one time on my way back to Phoenix, and with pit stops that was pretty much the same as what the OP is describing. No way I could do that for 90 days straight most likely without regular breaks during the drive for food and pit stops and not have a wreck at some point.

It’s a long way and I can guarantee after a few days, you would question your sanity. But as everyone said, this isn’t for a few $100k: $10million changes your life and you could retire without question. It would be a lot harder than many people here realize, but still doable

I've driven 12-13 hours many times. It would be exhausting. But we are talking about life changing, I never have to work again type of money here.

You get in there and you suck it up. It’s 3 miserable months for 10m. Destroy some audio books on business and finance and have a dope plan for how to turn your 10m into 1B

Ya and you most likely did it relatively fresh. Ive had to drive for 10-12 hours on 4 hours of sleep before and it is brutal.


Doing it for 90 straight days without falling asleep at the wheel is probably physically impossible without meth.

At some point you will be just exhausted and driving through a complete downpour - I feel like the likelihood of you being in an accident, especially towards the end is far more probably than making it through 90 days without one. And having a major accident on the interstate is likely not going to turn out too well for you.

Out of curiosity checked out how long it would take in a Tesla 3 long range because you could do full self driving. 4 charges each way, 8 total to make it.

Put it in the Tesla Map and it’s a 19.5 hour trip. No way you could keep that up without sleeping in car, especially having to deal with Atlanta and Baton Rouge traffic.

That's essentially 16 hours of driving, 8 hours of sleep, for 90 days in a row. Could you do it? Would you do it?


Easily.
