Tesla Model 3 Road Trip To Nebraska To Collect New Mustang Mach-E 

Alyssa looks less than thrilled to have been dragged out of bed for this adventure. Lol. Looked like a fun trip!

I’m really obsessed with those road trips videos 😭

"Tessa wants us to drive at 65. They don't know how we road trip." Very next clip on cruise at 65. Haha. Love it

there is a nice sweet way in which he narrates everything, it just kinda feels like a grown up kid talking. I love his narrative style and his trip videos.

Thoroughly enjoying your videos, must be tough being a morning person. Appreciate your enthusiasm, energy and insights on EV road tripping!

It’s insane to see how far ahead Tesla is over every other EV manufacture. I’m in love with my Model 3 and I think it’s Tesla for life on my end. Great review

So nice of Dave to lend you his Mustang Mach-E! @EV Dave​, you are amazing!

I know it prolly feels repetitive , but thank you for continuing to reenforce the spacing on the level 2 tesla chargers. It's helpful for all of us ! 😎

Yes! “Schmutz” Bjørn would be proud!

Your channel singlehandedly convinced me to get an electric car. All i could get is the 2020 bolt, but i love it nonetheless

All these videos appear to emphasize the point that the problem with non-Tesla EVs is the charging infrastructure. They might be fine cars, but if you can’t charge them up, they’re worthless.

The mustang looks great and shows some of the pain points of these charging networks. One of the best videos showing what it's like living with the mustang besides you know who... having a bad attitude... and not being nice to this great guy

I am test driving a Mach e tomorrow. Drove an ID4 on Saturday. Great content!

I wanted to rip my ear out every time you said Kearney. As it is pronounced “CAR-KNEE”. Other than that, great content!

There is a J-1772 plug next to the Gothenburg SC at the Nebraska Barn and Grill for the Mach E. It also has pretty good food while you wait for charging.

This is a fun story. I have been to all those chargers and almost the same route. My '15 Tesla MS vacation went all the way to LA, and the Tesla factory in Fremont.

Thanks for demonstrating the weird charge curve. Hope it gets fixed with software update.

I’m posting a video the 19th driving my 2018 i3 REx to Los Angeles from Oklahoma. Just got back home with 3k miles total for the trip there and back, and I just got it last week lol.

Waiting for your reviews on Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Chinese ORA good cat

Wish they had average consumption on the dash screen and a power/regen meter and of course charging speed. . You can't see your throttle or regen inputs at all, seems like they just forgot to add that. I love the car though, those turn signals also look super nice!

That was interesting. I live in Lincoln, NE and when we go to Colorado(fairly often), we also leave early in the morning but with the sun at our backs. ;)

How is the Mach-E getting e-tron levels of inefficiency...? I am so confused. Is coasting + air ride making up for the much larger heavier body, or does Ford have work to do?

Dave’s video has been up for 10 days. I’d begun to think you weren’t going to post this. Good comparison of the two cars.

I cant get enough road trip videos!!!!

Hope you did well in the snow. Love your channel. Would love to see you do a camping trip to Big Bend national park in Texas.

This road trip was so beautiful! I love Out Of Spec Motoring❤️

My wife started laughing when you quizzed your wife about the hotel. Something I do as well and my wife’s answers are the same too! 😃

Man it’s upsetting you’re still at 100k subs. People watching this, consider subscribing to out of spec motoring. A great deal of time goes into recording content and maintaining a channel.

Some of those interactions with your GF were priceless...if only there was a thought bubble coming outta her head... 😹😹😹 And the part at the end when she rolls up to hand you your iPhone cord.. “are you interested in hearing about the Mustang charging curve?” “No.” 😵 This was as entertaining as it was informative lol...great content! Thanks

That charging curve on the Mach E is difficult. You can’t just plug it in and walk away to go to the bathroom, get something to eat, etc. Having to unplug and plug back in would get old really quick.

You guys are showing exactly what I have been trying to get through to people online. You are running down one of the most major interstates in the Midwest and have a pretty high range vehicle. Until the infrastructure gets built out more , there is no way total EV full size trucks are going to work out hauling or towing anything unless they start out with a 500 to 600 mile range. They need the bench mark to start out with 500 miles carrying 1000 lbs. Then everything is plus or minus from that point. If your running empty in the summer plus. If you are running empty in the middle of winter minus. If you tow a trailer minus. Then make sure there is a Super charger every 150 miles on the Interstate or just build up the rest stations and put a supercharger there. Then at least every 100 miles on hwy roads.

Kyle, your description of how some dealers will mark up a car due to low supply and high demand is one big reason I bought a Tesla. Haggling on the price of a car is such a horrible ordeal for most people, and I hope it fades away quickly. There's a reason "car salespeople" are one of the least trusted/respected jobs out there. Sure, some car salespeople are honest and are looking to get the best deal they can for you. But many of them want to nickel and dime you as much as possible because you're just a quota to them.

Long day but great discoveries of MachE charging characteristics. I hope Ford is watching your fair and accurate analysis. Quite honestly Outofspec / EVDave should be Beta Battery pilots. They’ll get months of data in weeks and fly in new adjustments on the roll. They’ll get the exposure but they’ll beat the wrap that others will blanket her with as one and done content judgments. Timing is everything.

Wish we had Tesla and Ford Mach E in South Africa.

It's so exhausting seeing all the charging issues just keep happening. I know this is a relatively old video but it still just keeps happening. I don't want Tesla to be the only company you can expect a relatively-painless driving experience from. That's not good for anyone except a Tesla shareholder. Which, I mean, I am: but I still want a strong market for people to enjoy.

I knew what you meant, but @ 3:40 in the video you said that you were on a "one-way road". But one could clearly see you were on a two lane road, one lane your direction and one lane the opposite direction.

Yay Gothenburg 🇸🇪 mentioned all the time ;) have to go there sometime.

We miss ur long & detailed trips _ luv from india

Great video! Very much looking forward to Mach E vs Model Y road trip battle videos!

That is a little crazy to unplug and replug to get max charging.

Is your Mach-E part of the recent recall? Apparently, you will get a $1,000 for your troubles for taking your car in for the recall repair. I think the recall had something to do with some bolts not being properly fastened. Funny thing is no mainstream media is reporting this. If Tesla has such recall, CNBS would invite the likes of Gordon Johnson or Craig Irwin to say now Tesla has a quality control problem.

The Mustang is a really beautiful, high quality car, but time will tell if Ford can work out the little glitches. I bet that Ford will workout the kinks.

It does not matter if the charging problem is on the EA or car side because it is a FORD issue period. It should have been rigorously tested to prevent a bad customer experience.

You can really notice the difference in wind noise! The tesla was very loud! Mach e gt will be ordered soon!

Note for future trivia challenges: “what is Kyle’s favourite word to say?” Ans: Hakkapeliitta!! 😆

ya i guess the range would be bad seeings you re doing 85 lol,,, range for most cars is based on going 55

Love the road trip video. Getting me fired up for my San Diego to Seattle road trip I have conning up in a few weeks. TBH so happy I have the model 3 performance. You have such a great attitude with charging, I would be such a nervy nelly in and EV that’s not Tesla currently.

Kyle is out here doing God’s work with these road trips.

That's Car-Nee Nebraska.

There's a University of Nebraska campus in Kearney and it's the county seat, so that's why it is rather large by Nebraska standards. Have stopped there for years driving between California and Iowa.

Auto high beams work well with the FSD beta build.

Did i get that correct, 1.5 years and 80,000 miles and already battery wear? I drive a lot (yes, around 40k-50k a year) and would hate for that to happen. I was really in the middle between Taycan & 911 but this might make me lean towards the 911 for longevity despite the Taycan’s two extra usable seats...

tesla satnav needs a way to set return trips or preferred destination state of charge

So from Mar 14 to now have you ever been able to charge the Mustang with no problem ?

It's funny/sad, but every time I see EA chargers on YT, it's someone having issues with them. Very few issues with the Tesla chargers. I'm not saying EA is bad or Tesla is good - but it certainly looks like numbers (stall count, max wattage, etc) are not everything.

I think all non Tesla Electric vehicles are DOA due to lack of EA chargers in Wyoming, eastern MT, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Tesla will be #1 until that happens no matter how good the car is unless there is a 1000 mile range car that can drive from Minnesota to Montana

Thanks for the video. Wondering how your battery (degradation) is doing?

Lol... driving to eastern North Carolina is also fairly boring. Did that drive to Greenville many times.

they need to make all chargers cross compatible

Great video. Who takes care of your big dog when you're both on the road like this?

Adding a bgm would be nice .... Kyle’s energy is crazy high(love it)..... Alyssa should at least try(please smile a bit)

You are the American Bjorn Nyland.

Why does it say "Walk-Away lock unavailable" every time you stop to charge?

Awesome reviews! Subbed!

it's pronounced kaa-rney just fyi :P

Great video.. Greetings from Denmark.

Your video is useful to me.We also have our own car mat for TESLA.Looking forward to your reply.

It looks like a great "get around town" car right now, but my 7 year old Model S would probably be better on a road trip. I have never stopped at Supercharger and have any issues with charging. Even when the car has said that a supercharger station is off line, it still was online, just diminished capacity. I think that I will continue to keep with my old Tesla p85. Oh and having a 'low battery' warning at 20% is a bit annoying isn't it?

The Mustang is definitely the sexier car.

New road trip idea... do a trip where you only charge on free level 2 chargers... hmmm, that could be a long trip. LOL.

Is the battery being conditioned before charge? Made a comment about not getting peak charge speed. Wondering if that was why

How do you like the roof rack on the model 3? Does it have much wind noise?

Dealers with crazy fees will be the death of the Mach-E.

Wow, she’s fun 🥴

So what is the bottom line on road trip charging in today's charging networks, Tesla vs Everyone Else......convenience, availability throughout the entire US, keeping you on schedule, lack of issues, etc, and when do you think they'll be similar?

Can someone answer me this question about customer service... I ordered a Tesla Model Y given a pick up time but not able to arrange that day. No response from them via text or voice..... They also said they would offer 1000 miles from reference code I gave them again, no text or confirmation this happened..... What is up with Tesla customer service? Is this company not good in that category? HELP!!!

Just based off looks, I’d personally only own the model X and the Mach-E. I bet the charging gremlins are pre production and will go away once it’s mass produced. The Mach-E will definitely be a Tesla competitor

Your girlfriend looks like she would rather be at home. Great channel.

It's a new car so they will eventually get the charging error fixed. This is going to be our next new car. 34:00 the CRST truck you passed. Their headquarters' are right here in Iowa.

the charging noise in Mach E feels like its going to explode

I can see mass rioting happening at these charging locations when they actually have a backup of cars waiting to charge.....Imagine a Memorial Day weekend when you have 20,000 to 30,000 cars waiting to charge....

dude i am in loveland! my friend in foco jimmi has a tesla. i am thinking of getting one. i am from neb. new sub. keep in touch. we need to colab with jimmi and get ourselves a "convoy".

Try to do Tesla UNESCO Heritage trips

You say boring, but I love driving on flat roads.

I can't really understand the "% is better than miles". At the end of the day you are converting % to miles. Miles shown is not miles regardless of driving speed. It's miles you can drive at give or take 50 mph. If you are going faster / more uphill etc, then obviously you will need to take a % of that. 100 miles left but you know you are going 75/80? Well then it's like 60% of 100 miles. If you have %, it just adds additional work - % -> miles -> miles at x-speed.

How much time was wasted charging?

So at 2.75$ per gallon of gas (today’s price) your video if my math is correct, the mustang is getting equivalent to 17mpg on the highway? Ouch! 200 mile range maybe and 17 mpg? Who would buy that?

Real important, why did you not get FSD? You may have answered this already. Is it worth it?

With a gas vehicle don't have to camp out or plan your trip around an extension cord. Like the mustang style but not going electric yet. Hard to enjoy your trip when your paranoid about battery life.

He is complaining about efficiency but is still driving at 85mph. No EV is efficient at those speeds. Not being a hater just pointing out the obvious.

"Let's get breakfast" -Ahh from local restaurant's delicious, unique menu "...From McDon..." Blargh.... Ok, this is not that kind of travel show. At least you know what you get, -homogeneous quality. (Of Corn syrup and Corn starch posing as edible food items). - Blörö

Like every Tesladriver....at the end of the day you get tired of charging. If you choosed a SUV you will drive slow to avoid charging cost and time. High speed charging will produce heatpeaks in the cell packs...an interrupt will give the car some time to recover and cool down. Leaf owners Know....heat kills the battery.

I'm not convinced that telling people to unplug and replug every 300 seconds is a good idea. Chances are pretty good the engineers knew what they were doing and are trying to protect some part from overheating. You could be doing damage to the car unwittingly. Interesting video anyway.

This is why I keep holding off on making the transition to EVs. Hopefully in a few years we will see simple plug-n-play charging without random & strange slow charging issues. Hopefully we will eventually see the day when any EV can pull up to any charger and pull crazy charging speeds, regardless of battery temperature, state of charge, charging station, etc... Call me crazy, but I want charging to be just as convenient as filling up a gas tank.

I wish Tesla would add more SC's for cars that are towing... I have to unhook from the trailer maybe 1/3 of the charges I have to do. Having some closer together would be nice too!! Flatland driving without a headwind I've gotten 125 miles range...

man alive, did you say the person went blind? that just sounds horrific.

I’d carry around disposable gloves just to avoid touching public charging handles.

“Car-knee”

From 100% charge to 2% in 190 miles? That seems inefficient and abnormal even for the model 3 performance.

Makes me not want the mach e so much with these charger issues.
