Foxwoods & Mohegan Sun.
By Tesla.
Both Connecticut casinos sit 75 minutes from our Stamford home pickup — and both have free Tesla destination chargers on-site. Roll in with 60%, plug in while you play, leave with a full battery. The smartest casino weekend in the Northeast.
Why Tesla makes this trip cheaper.
Both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun are part of the Tesla destination-charging program. Pull into the valet, hand over the keys, and your car plugs in for the night at no charge. By morning you've got 100% battery — which means the entire round-trip from Stamford costs you ~$0 in energy. A weekend at the casino without a single gas-station stop.
It's also a smoother arrival. The Tesla's autopilot eats up I-95 east, and Route 2 from Norwich to Foxwoods is genuinely beautiful — winding through pine and stone-wall country that reminds you Connecticut has more than just shoreline.
Trip math:
- Foxwoods: ~75 mi from Stamford · ~1h 15min via I-95 + Route 2
- Mohegan Sun: ~70 mi from Stamford · ~1h 10min via I-95 + I-395
- Charging at the property: Free Tesla destination chargers at both casinos
- Closest Supercharger en route: Madison, CT or Branford, CT (mid-trip)
- Range needed for round trip: ~150 mi · easy on a single charge
