I thought I'd share this, for those on here with an interest in such things - a straight lift from a post by a fellow owner who's just made this trip:

Arrived at the west end of the Algarve last night after driving the Model S from home in Yorkshire. With the exception of the full charge at home prior to leaving, the total cost of energy to get us here was £0. Supercharged at Northampton then again at Winchester. 24 hour ferry from Portsmouth to Santander (6 miles lost to the vampire).
We then charged again at the SC in Burgos (northern Spain - at superb Hotel Landa). That was our last Supercharger. Mid way through Spain we stayed at Hotel Rector in Salamanca which has a destination charger in their garage. Lovely hotel in the centre of a superb historic city. We did a 100% charge, at no cost.
The next day, we had a 210 mile journey to the CHAdeMO at Pombal Services in Portugal, where the Mobie chargers are still all free. Due to economical driving, we still has 50 miles remaining when we got there! 2 more charges, again free CHAdeMOs at motorway services, and we reached our destination.
We're here for 2 months, and we have a Rolec 32amp charger at the villa - Tesla friends welcome if you are in the area. Needless to say, the journey was a pleasure, and the car (2 year old 85) was faultless - which is good as the nearest service centre is near Marseille 1100 miles away!
Autopilot in particular was just superb on the very quiet motorways of Spain and Portugal. Thank you Tesla, for a great car, and low cost travel.
