Tesla Model 3 Adventure Camping Across North Dakota And Montana 

Tim Vaughn we aren’t Tesla fanboys, just own one as it’s the best form of EV transport today

Stu, did you have the White model S?

Allen White No, I don’t have a Tesla yet. Saw a couple Model S’, a couple Model X’s, and one Model 3 between Highlands and Franklin. I will be in the market soon, but I’m torn between an CPO MS 75D or a new M3 long range AWD.

And not complaining about watching *another* Tesla video. Haha

I'm in the same position as you are Steve. Normally, my laughs at me watching yet another Tesla video but she's now watched all four episodes and really likes the way Kyle explains issues and overcomes them (a wet towel anyone).

It's pretty wild to see the interest from people... I think we are the only ones who benefit from longer videos on RU-vid. I will likely have to start another channel (other than One Lap) for all of the other stuff to keep the algorithms happy with out road tripping.

Yay!! Congrats, love it! Plenty of room, but if we didn’t pull the trigger on the performance (due to the enticing of free charging for two years) we would of gotten the Y for even more room for them!!

Lol

Sometimes

Great way to celebrate your recovery! 🚙💨

And cheap

Your wife is cheating on you

Wow thank you! Thanks for watching!

I realize this vid was about the car but it seemed that Alyssa was having a good time and appreciate hearing her takes. I can't imagine camping out there. We stayed in motels! So do you now understand what "Big Sky" is?

Zhong Liang Chen same! Hahaha. I’ve been checking the channel daily 😂

It was really cool!

@@OutofSpecMotoring I think that was an old de-icing truck. I've never seen an AviationRescueFireFighting truck with a maned boom, but the old deicing trucks usually had a manually operated nozzle.

Yes I believe you are correct!

We spend no time looking for sites! Maybe 30 seconds at most - thanks for watching

Thanks for watching! Enjoy your Model 3 when it arrives

Thanks for watching!

Great to hear! Best automotive podcast in my opinion.

@@OutofSpecMotoring if you can get your hands on one, you should drag race the model 3 against a dodge demon or challenger hellcat redeye

It's not that bad, there are quite a few people that have road tripped in a bolt. The bolt only charges at 55 kW however it maintains that peak charging rate till about 55%. there is a guy who did a cannonball run solo in a bolt EV I believe it took him 72 hours to go cross country including his sleeping time. So it is definitely possible to do it. But since there are far more Tesla superchargers I would say finding the charging locations would be the largest challenge and something you would have to definitely plan for. I think if I was going to do it myself I would put a small hitch on the back of the car and take a small gas generator with me just in case I screwed up. plus the gas generator could be handy if you were going to camp someplace without power. You can check out the RU-vid channel News Coulomb. he runs long distances in California and has no charging at home. Relying exclusively on public charging.

@@kens97sto171 Plug Share shows were the chargers are with pictures and reviews posted by users.

@@MHdollrevievs Yep, it's a good resource. The Electrify America app shows there national network. Growing rapidly.. Tesla's hard to beat for easy road trips... But your paying for it with an expensive car.

@@kens97sto171 We have the Tesla Model SR+ and its very close to the price of the Bolt/Leaf+/Kona EV.We live in Canada and only have a $5K Federal EV rebate.We drove to Victoria BC from Calgary AB 660 miles one way and supercharging only cost around $35 CAN.

@@MHdollrevievs The Tesla is close to the bolt in price if you look at MSRP. However right now most dealers are offering close to $10,000 off on the bolt. That changes things significantly. It's not difficult to find a new bolt at a dealer for $25,000 or less. I agree with you I would never pay MSRP for a Chevrolet bolt given the state of electric vehicles currently. I would probably pick a Kona EV or Soul EV if you could find one.. The Tesla certainly is a decent price if you can actually find one for the mid $30k. That 660 miles would cost me $30 US of Gas in my Prius. If I use my total cost per mile, that's Fuel, all maintenance and tires, it comes to $35 total at our current $1.75/gallon. This is one of the reasons I'm not really ready to switch to electric. The savings are not really that significant, not when you factor in the difference in purchase price of the vehicle. I drive for a living, or was before the pandemic. I was driving 50,000 mi per year, when I ran the numbers between a brand new Prius, versus a brand new model 3 long range. $30k vs $48k. The break-even point was 10 years plus even at 50,000 mi per year. That's not a very good financial choice. Obviously the model 3 and the Prius are not really in the same class of vehicle especially when it comes to performance. However the Prius is actually more practical , which is all that really matter to me plus reliability , and access to service and parts, the Prius is the better choice for my current needs. The Chevrolet bolt is actually more practical for me than a model 3 because of the hatchback. The Kona is really nice inside but actually has a significantly smaller back seat than the bolt making it less useful. At this point I would probably lean towards a used model S. But then you have to factor in maintenance and repairs on a vehicle that will cost a hell of a lot more to maintain and repair than a Toyota.. So nice used Prius is my current choice. 12 years old, 331,000 miles. Still running great

I noticed that too!

He didn’t get it back! 😭 thanks for watching!

You should!

Thanks for watching!

Great to hear

It was very cool!

Thanks for watching!

fizzldizzl haha Same 08/20 is the day

thoschfiremann What‘s your configuration? I‘ll pick mine up a week after you

fizzldizzl Long Range, white

fizzldizzl here in Germany the government tripled its subsidies and cut the car taxes

thoschfiremann Ich weiss :D Nutze ich auch aus

All of these V3s had only been on a couple weeks when we drove through. Incredible rollout - and CCS stations are expanding even faster

Yiu should go up highway 2 in Idaho thru Washington... awesome rapids, rivers, and cascade miuntains... just did the run from Seattle to Coeur d'Alene idaho a ciuple days ago awesome & beautiful... you MUST STOP IN Leavenworth! There was 15 Tesla's charging at their superchargers...AMAZING Bavarian town with roped off streets for people onle... you will LOVE IT!

I like to push the range, use it all if you have it! And we are on the trip now. Having a blast! Y would be nice

Oh I know - thanks for watching
