We did a 2 month, 13,000 mile road trip a couple of summers ago, albeit in our Vette, not our X. Fabulous trip and very few/minor snags...
No idea of your car MY or condition, which doesn't help the 'car tips' responses.
If it was mine, the usual: oil and filter, coolant check, tire pressure, etc. If little maintenance has been done, I would get brake fluid R&R, check pads and rotors, tire tread, new wiper blades, the usual. One could go crazy and start rebuilding/replacing a litany of items, but I doubt that is your intent.
NYC to Clovis is ~ 1800 miles; regardless of your youth, I don't rec'd trying to knock it off in less than 3 full days, and that will leave you tired. You also have to navigate across some potential 'winter states', unless you are going later...
As for flights, I don't understand your post: a simple check shows many flights, from LGA or EWR to Albuquerque everyday. All have one stop, but not onerous. It's one long 'day' from NYC to Albuquerque, rent a car and 3 hr drive to Clovis vs 3-4 days each way...
We've done dozens of car and m'cycle long distance trips, but I will avoid our list of what we 'take'/use, other than smart phone, lap top, a couple of CCs, ATM card, cash, flexibility and patience.
GL, mD
