Everyone is talking about their experience with their own tesla but I've learnt much more with your simple and honest review. I could clearly understand what is the new mindset and to what this mindset is related to.Which is defining the whole experience really. Straight to the (meaningful) points. Good job.

How did you know this was the video i was looking for? Went from shopping for bags to shopping for a Model Y :D

I got my model 3 to save money on gas and for autosteer, as I take various roadtrips to see family in california often. I don't have (nor would I want) FSD, but autosteer is amazing. It removes so much of the cognitive fatigue of long road trips and allows me to arrive feeling refreshed. There are many chargers in California, so I prefer to go with more frequent stops for shorter charges (going from 20% to 60% for instance is faster than going from 60% to 100%) and I find that if I drive for 6 hours on the highway, I may have to stop for a total of maybe 40-60 minutes total.

Every time I run across one of your videos, Chase, I get mad that the algorithm doesn't show you more love. I don't even care about Tesla's and I found this so enjoyable. I wish you could do stuff like this every video, but I know it's time consuming and you have to earn a living. Regardless, Thank you from Dallas.

Fantastic video. I've been watching (way too many) videos about EVs, trying to determine which one to buy. I do lots of road trips; and your video nailed it! I love your sense of humor, too.

Great video, but 2 hours of driving with 40 minutes of charging REALLY isn't efficient. You should try ABRP. Normally you should have 10 to 15 minutes of charging every 2/3 hours of driving. You just have to be okay with driving the bottom 50 procent of you battery since it charges faster there

Roadtrips in a Tesla is quite fun! I've done several 5k roadtrips (CA -> FL -> CA) and no issues whatsoever. NoAP is amazing for long roadtrips. Now, the 4hrs driving -> 40 min charging is a bit misleading. Most of my stops were from 20-30 minutes. You don't need to get that much energy to get to the next charger. Additionally, charging up to 80% from 20% or below is way faster =). Just physics.

My reaction to the new Tesla is the same as yours in almost every way you mentioned. I've had the car for two months.

Nice trip. I recommend using A Better Route Planner (ABRP, pretty much google maps for EV's) to save time while doing long drives. Shorter stops and not charging as high can save overall time. Tesla doesn't necessarily plan the fastest route in the car navigation. I love driving my 3 on longer trips. So easy.

Not bad.

Sweet video! Excellent editing and super useful for a would-be Tesla Y owner. Thanks, man!

It does not seem you are using the configurable doc in the bottom of the screen. I put my most used things down there like seat heating, heating buttons and the wiper button and the back camera button. It is easy to hit the buttons by just holding on to the screen with the hand and push with one finger. Hou can speed up your road trip by planning to arrive with 5% on arrival and only charge to 60-65% before leaving and put in SuC charging stops you wish and only V3 SuC's. I'm typically only stopping for ab out 20 mins and 2 hours of driving. I did a trip from Slovenia to the north of Germany in 12 hours and this was 1200km so on average 100 km/h incl. charging. The first two hours was in the mountains from Slovenia through Austria which was much slower than 100km/h. You just need to get used to driving optimally if that matters to you. I'm a photographer doing workshops and the car is amazing in the mountains in e.g. the Dolomites and it is so relaxing to drive up and down the mountains and it is super efficient. I also sleep in the car from time to time. Autosteer is in every car now. I use it all the time on the highway and it works great. When you have this very long trip until the next charger, so just drive slower and you will make it, no problem. The calculation is quite precise and takes into consideration titude differences, wind, temperatur, etc. Regarding the mining rant: You need to study this as there is less mining needed for electric cars than for the fossil industry. See www.tesla.com/ns_videos/Tesla-Master-Plan-Part-3.pdf and you will be enlightened. And thanks for your reviews!!

Cold temperatures and high speeds when driving do make for poorer fuel consumption wether it’s gas or electricity. The difference is that you refill with gas more quickly. If you slowed down, you could probably drive for 3 hours before stopping for your 40 min Supercharging session. Your range could increase significantly at lower speeds……

I've criss-crossed the country many times in my Model Y, and I have never had to charge for anything close to 40 minutes. I know this was your first trip, so I'll chalk it up to just not knowing, like how to use the energy screen, but the info you are relaying is nothing near what I have experienced in over 40,000 miles of road tripping.

Love the content man. Keep it up!

Heard you listening to Lex 👍

we took a trip to Galveston from Austin. Made a stop the the Buc'ees in Weller (i think). But we only did because the hotel only had 1 charger available and we didn't want to chance not being able to charge at the hotel. I do enjoy the slowdown on roadtrips though.

Golly, LOTS of STOP, and there are MANY times you were nervous, that you will NOT have battery life. In the end, TESLA is only good for short drives and I'll still rent a MINIVAN for LONG ROAD TRIPS, period.

Great long distance road trip real world review!

The one aspect of having a tesla I did not expect is how misunderstood EV’s are. People truly do not have a clue about cars, much less electric cars. I enjoy informing the curious but it is also a bit scary!

Could you show us your supercharger session? At least when you plug in (the time and your state of charge) and when you stop charging (same thing, elapsed time and state of charge). I get the feeling you're getting to the charger around 40-50% then charging close to 100, maybe? That's the only thing that makes sense. Ideally get there around 10%, 5% if you have the nerve, and charge to maybe 50-60%. And use the navi to find V3 Superchargers. 10% to 60% should take around 15 minutes at a V3 and that would get you another two hours. Here's the master of charging curves doing that very thing. Shows the charging speed 0-100% on a Model Y Long Range. They charge fastest when you show up at the lower end of the battery ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yi1VrtfoiUA.html&ab_channel=OutofSpecReviews

This made me want to go on a big road trip with my model Y ha! Dope vid!

Great video. I would love one. So your payments are about $600 a month. For the same car in Ireland we would pay about $925 for the same car!

Great insight!

Sick! Let's put a cold plunge in the frunk next time :D

Should have waited to ask.

You better hit up an old middle school friend when your back in town! 😂

How much was the supercharging round trip?

We have the same car but not the beard! Love it! Peace ✌️

Ive never did 2 hours of driving and do 40 minutes charging. 3 and maybe 30 minutes

I really enjoyed this video, made a nice change. I am interested in EVs, but for me personally, the overall experience isn't quite there yet. Also, I can only afford to drive a 16-year-old Golf, so a decent EV is way out of my league at the moment...

Did you try autopilot?

@10:24 do you trust robots to fly the plane when you travel?? CAUSE THEY FLY 80% OF THE WAY!

which bluetti pack do you have for these trips?

2 hrs driving for 40 mins charging - doesn't sound right to me. Even a SR RWD will do 300-350km and that's 3+ hours unless you're smashin it

Related to Casey Neistat ? Video style and everything are very similar

Great video! Love the Pakt Bags 😍 the 2 hours driving for 40 mins of charging does not sound fun. Wonder if Rivian is better

you travel a lot for work. how does this affect you and family dynamic?

Thats not across the country 😆 that's 3 states

Seems like a nice car. However this car doesn't seem ideal car for women. I'm a woman and I would be terrified about being assaulted while the vehicle is charging. Specially at night by myself.

Ridiculous, no other possible word. 2 hours driving 40 mins charging. With the US speed limits. No, thank you.

2 hours of driving for 40 mins of charging…. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! Good luck getting anywhere. Unless they can come up with a way to charge these things in 15 mins, Im forever out. I’m all for sustainability, but this ain’t it. The environmental impact on making all those giant batteries is probably just as bad.. battery=fossil fuels. Plus, it’s only a matter of time before they start charging people to plug in.. just wait.. it’s coming. Nonetheless, love your videos Chase.. get a haircut.
