August 3-6Mon, Aug 3
Drive to Anaheim
Start from Danville at 100% charge. Use Tesla navigation as the source of truth for traffic, temperature, and charger state.

Park day 1
Best default: make this the highest-priority Disney day with an early arrival, a midday reset, and evening entertainment if the schedule lines up.
Wed, Aug 5
Park day 2
Use this for the other park, park-hopper favorites, or a gentler late-start day depending on energy after Tuesday.
Thu, Aug 6
Checkout and drive home
