I hope you enjoy this years Xmas Road Trip and hope you all had a nice festive season! Any questions or comments, popp them below!

@RussRyan7713 Год назад

Great video. I have a standard range LFP and regularly drive my daughter from Kent up to Liverpool. It's a 535 mile round trip. I do it in one go and only charge 3 times and never stop longer than it takes to use the loo and grab a coffee. Best time was 9 hours driving, worst was 12 hours. In the Model 3 it's so relaxing. Don't think I could do it in one go in my old Mondeo manual. Also love the new holiday update. Got back the trips on the cards! Also the indicators are great most of the time. Still find I try and flick them off out of habit and then indicate again 😀.

@MBrown Год назад

Thanks Thomas glad your journeys are going well! Yes it’s so comfy isn’t it. I’d struggle in a regular car now I think. I used to get terrible bad back in my last car

@PRG888 Год назад

The only thing I don;t like about the auto indicator is you can't do slight click for it to do four indications before it goes off

@martingrady7654 Год назад

I Did over 800 miles in 2 days in my M3 60kwh LFP, I think it was 842 miles in total, it was a breeze, a bit tricky around the Ipswitch area and Scotch Corner gets a bit busy, but all in all, worked out fine. Some parts of the UK really needs a few more SC locattions.

Yer heard chargers are getting busy by look of social media but remember we have it easer than most ev as we can charge at all the other sites and superchargers unlike other evs heard there has been big QS at Ionty too

@aaronbounds1336 Год назад

Got my T M Y 7-seater on Dec 23rd 2022. Took it on an 1,100+ mile road trip already and it was great. Charging was something to look forward to (got 254 KW in some cases). The car was ready before we were, and the cadence of stopping for charging matched up great with our bladders. Couldn't ask for a better road tripping vehicle: it's solid to drive, quiet, and very comfortable. We are doing another 900+ mile road trip this weekend, and I can't wait. Costs less than gas, even if we didn't have 10K free supercharging miles. 👍👍 Not only was charging not a problem, it actually makes road tripping better - more relaxing. Turns it from a stress-inducing race to a nice relaxed cadence and I arrived to my destination feeling much better overall than with the old clunker of an ICE car. Top notch.

@MBrown Год назад

Yeah thats what I find, I kind of always want to stop when the car wants to charge. I love a nice coffee and toilet break! Forces a bit of relaxation

@MrAwatson1969 Год назад

Great video as ever, pleased you just say it as it is without any bias. I get the tongue in cheek in places. Who cares about remote farts when wipers need the attention? I have the same car, albeit in Silver, and love it. Your film highlights the overall problem we all face in that charging MUST evolve. Our journeys are punctuated with stops to enable charging and then several stops to do the stuff you want/need to do when we can't. It's at these locations we all need chargers. With your 2 overnight stops in hotels you could have plugged into a 3 pin plug to give you sufficient charge for the next day, until you park in your next location and then charge again the same way. There is this 'obsession' with installing fast charging at all locations, then the hurdle of 'cost' used as an excuse not to. I'd be happy with a bank of half a dozen 3 pin plugs at all the hotels I stay at and pay £15-20 for the privilege of booking before I travel to ensure a good 10-12h charge when I arrive at my destination. I regularly do a 3-day 280 mile trip from Cotswolds to near Huddersfield where I leave on 100% (home charge), work three days and stay 2 nights in a hotel. I then have to make a quick 10-20 minute stop on the way home to give me a little boost so that I can get home comfortably and recharge cheaply. I don't mind the stop, I plan for it and get a quick coffee as you do. The point is, 3 whole days and 2 nights of my car being parked wasted when they could top up just the necessary amount to make the super-charging stops unnecessary. It's a mindset thing and one which is not being understood, sledgehammer to crack nut problem. Keep up the good work.

@MBrown Год назад

Thanks, haha yeah I love the car but there are some silly updates, when we need real fixes for some small issues. Oh nice, I love them in Silver. Yes I agree every hotel, should at least have a couple (I mean its a money maker for them too if they charge for it)

@stifflol Год назад

Enjoying the videos as ever, thank you Mark. I’d like to make a recommendation regarding the auto wipers, which I agree can be a bit under or over enthusiastic depending on the day of the week. 😅 Get some Glaco Compound and Roll On. The compound clears the glass of everything, then you want to apply the roll on. This stuff is just magic. On any motorway you won’t need wipers, water just blows off over 50-60mph. 👍

Thanks so much Stifflol Oh nice I'll give that a try!

The 10:32 thing is something to be aware off, i do it myself aswell with our electric car and press stuff on my screen however slowly loose focus on the road, you yourself also started moving over to the right its something we electric car drivers have to be aware off, sometimes its better to pull over and stop then try and multitask whilst driving.

Yes I always tend to put on AutoPilot usually if I'm using the screen, that way the car can keep control of the steering incase the worst should happen

@Pain4yourmind 11 месяцев назад

I normally take trip to the south of France once a year and I worked out using an electric car I would add over 4-5 hours to my total trip time. I take. 10min toilet break and quick walk and top up with fuel if needed, it’s all about getting there journey dont asap. And that’s also assuming no queueing at the charge stations which I frequently see. I will not invest in an electric car until battery’s are replaced for a better technology.

@MBrown 11 месяцев назад

Hey sorry to hear that, but on a trip to France wouldn't you stop for the toilet or lunch anyway? I just eat lunch when we charge and as soon as we're finished the batteries full.

My 2011 Audi S3 would be £190 cus I'm on V-Power UL too. So yeh..... Great video and info, thanks Mark & wife for the editing 🙂👍🏻 Now the prices have just dropped on them it is so tempting to try and find a way to get one. I also cannot charge at home so it's going to be superchargers for me most of the time, with my local one being 4 miles away from home.

you did really well not having to queue at any of the superchargers.

Annoying tbh (still love the car tho and thankfully I can charge at home so its only an occasional hassle),

Mark, when you said about range anxiety, the first time I did a round trip from Liverpool to Lingfield (just shy of 500 miles) with 2x 30 mins stop at Ionity Banbury in my Kona EV 64kwh, I was little worried but as you say when you get used to planning your journey and Tesla opening some chargers win win all-round.

@MBrown Год назад

Hey Brian, yeah it feels like it gets easier over time! Glad your journeys are going well too!

@williambaxendale7641 Год назад

Occasionally,my Model 3 takes it upon itself to slow below the speed limit, without warning. It does, however, show è.g. 30 in a 40 as it happens. Think it may relate to previous roadwork restrictions that have not updated. No problem, just close auto pilot and back up to limit.

@MBrown Год назад

Yeah it could be that, I've had that happen before, but this said ' Speed limited due to visibility' a new one I haven't seen before

@williambaxendale7641 Год назад

That’s a good safety feature, but the situation to which I refer isn’t that. Regularly in a nearby village the car invariably slows to 30 well into the continuous 40 limit. I can only think that some time ago there was a temporary lower limit just there?

@bloodstockvip2176 Год назад

@petermckinnon386 8 месяцев назад

@mhsohel47 Год назад

It's not the camera that restricted you to 40 mph, it's the map road speed that the car detected is 40 which is wrong map data. In Europe, especially in the UK map data is wrong. And mileage you see on display is static wltp range not real world, it does not take into account speed, uphill, rain etc. Only route planning shows you real world percentage

@MBrown Год назад

So it was showing the road as 60mph until the first warning, then it fixed it to 40mph. It was 100% a camera visibility issue, if you check the video at this point ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tS3ZixShp6U.html , even the message on screen says " Autopilot Speed limited due to poor visibility" - Hope this helps.

@Tom-fe9bu Год назад

I think the first time your autopilot was limited was because it thought the speed limit was 40 because it does reduce to the speed limit when autopilot is engaged now. Altho I have had both this and the warning you got about visibility in my early 2022 model 3.

@MBrown Год назад

Hey It was 60mph but changed it to 40mph when that warning comes up. Had it happen three times over the journey, pretty annoying as the weather wasn’t that terrible

@Tom-fe9bu Год назад

Interesting it changed the speed limit icon to 40 too despite it being a 60mph road. Never had that before but have had it pick up speed signs on side roads which has reduced it before automatically even in clear conditions for myself as I suspected that was a similar thing that happened to you the first time it came up. Was rather annoying for me as it was a 30 in a 60🤦‍♂️😂- great video, thank you
