Thanks for sharing this part of your trip, Branden! I’ve followed a very similar itinerary (FL to MI) in my MY, and the charge experience is ridiculously less stressful than with a CCS. I fretted about the 4680 curve being less aggressive, but I quickly got over that. Gotta like being able to stop at three Buc-ee’s and two Culver’s vs. the typical Walmart EA experience!

I stopped at the Sevierville Buc’ees last weekend in my similar 2023 MY AWD. Wasn’t too bad on Friday. But Saturday returning to Atlanta, it was packed. Of the 24 Superchargers, at least 20 were ICED. Luckily I was able to charge and get back on the road.

You are an inspiration. After watching your Florida trip I went for it. 1500 mile round trip from the Florida Keys to Tennessee. Best, most comfortable road trip ever!! 2023 MSP on autopilot between 75-80 MPH, 4 stops (2 in Florida and 2 in Georgia) and used 315 Wh/mile. Keep the videos coming! P.S. I stopped at my first Buc-ees on this trip. 😂

@Monkeybread7620 11 месяцев назад

Wish that Sevierville charger had been active when we drove our Y back to MN a couple years ago. Couldn't make it from the Asheville Charger to London, KY so had to stop in Knoxville, and the charger is on the west side of the city, so it added almost an hour to the drive between driving across knoxville and waiting nearly 30 minutes to charge.

@drumaganger 7 месяцев назад

I’m retired so I don’t have to be anywhere fast. I don’t want to do any more than 6-8 hours of driving on any day so I’d plan my trips around that. I have a 2023 Model Y long range. I’m looking at a lot of Tesla Road trip videos and most of the charging stops seem to be about 1.5 to 2 hours apart and I’m good with that. I need to get out and stretch and use facilities about that distance anyway.

@MsAjax409 11 месяцев назад

I love road trips in my Tesla. The thing is to toss out your old ICE car habits of distance traveling. Charging stops are your friends. They enforce you to take short rest stops making long trips much less tiring. I can drive all day without stress or fatigue, especially with Autopilot FSD doing 95% of the driving.

Hey Brandon, recently did a road trip in a model y long range from Chicago to LA. It was great but 1 issue we had was the estimated arrival percentage was way off most of the time. Couple times where is would say we would get to the next charger with around 40% and got there with closer to 10-15%. We had 4 people, a dog and it was completely full with luggage and usually doing around 80-85 mph in the 75 zones which was most of the trip. Despite this I feel that the car should have been able to see the efficiency we were getting and adjust for the legs after. We ended up using ABRP and it was pretty spot on compared to the Tesla navigation. Any tips for future trips to get this more accurate? Only other issues were some phantom braking and auto wipers going off in adaptive cruise. Overall a great trip.

@OutofSpecMom 11 месяцев назад

BEV do NOT do well at 80-85 MPH because of a lack of gearing and the obvious hit from aerodynamic drag. Your Model Y range is much better at 70 MPH than it is at 80-85.

@MsAjax409 11 месяцев назад

That's interesting. My ETA and SOC estimates are pretty accurate. I do monitor it, though, and adjust my speed if I'm using up battery faster than expected.

@twiblr 10 месяцев назад

What did you mean when you said. "All these stalls have been iced?"

@user-hp1gn5mg7c 11 месяцев назад

Did you get any phantom brake? I get it most of the time going through a bend or a hill. Did a trip from Texas to Nevada and kept experiencing it. Gets annoying after awhile.

@marksmith5696 11 месяцев назад

Anyone interested in a Y, realize the efficiency is waaaay worse than the 3. If you drive 15k+ miles per year, it's something to think about. Your electric cost will be average 30-50% higher than a Model 3. If you need the utility aspect and I would assume more rear legroom, it's a good choice. If you're looking for max efficiency, don't get a Y. I can easily get 220 wh/mi. with AC on in my 3LR, cruising on flat ground at 65-70mph all day. I can easily do around 200 wh/mi. and under for the trip during my commute in the AM without AC.

@brandenflasch 11 месяцев назад

I could do that on my Y too, I simply don’t ever drive that slow

@marksmith5696 11 месяцев назад

@@brandenflasch You averaged 311 Wh/mi. combined city and highway in 1200 miles. Honestly it would be totally impossible to increase your efficiency by 50% to around say 210-220 Wh/mi. average for the trip, given the same trip, just a slower speed. Y's just aren't that efficient compared to 3's.

@marksmith5696 11 месяцев назад

@@brandenflasch If you think I'm wrong, do a highway run range test at 70MPH on relatively flat ground for 50 miles and find out what your Wh/mi. actually is.

@htiek30120 11 месяцев назад

I recently picked up a MY standard range back in June '23. So far, everything has been awesome, except for the phantom breaking. Driving from Texas to Virginia was fine, but the return trip was terrible. I live in West of Dallas where there are no trees and a healthy supply of sunlight. Please share your experiences with the traffic aware cruise control, because almost nobody mentions this in their videos. It's very dangerous to brake hard on the interstate. It's to the point where I don't use it anymore and that should not be the case on any vehicle.

Hello, I have a question. I have a week to order my model Y, and I wanted to know if the 16% autonomy of the 4680 batteries that Tesla promises is real?

@brandenflasch 11 месяцев назад

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by 16%

@bradhoots8547 11 месяцев назад

So do you have a firm opinion now of the 4680 car vs a LR? Does it only come down to range and a small time difference when road tripping? 0-60 time doesn’t seem like a drastic difference.

@samuell.siskind 11 месяцев назад

Having Model Y LR’s, the charging curve seems to be less powerful. Never really hits 250kWh - and tapers fast.

@mowcowbell 11 месяцев назад

Probably the biggest difference between a Model Y LR and Model Y 4680 is the 4680 battery pack is part of the vehicles' structure.

Why do you make so many short charging stops instead of nearly topping off the battery at fewer stops?

@domd5280j 11 месяцев назад

I wonder that also

@mowcowbell 11 месяцев назад

Because the battery charges very slowly above 80%. Pretty much the same for any EV on roadtrips. You'll spend more time 'topping off' than you will making more frequent stops.

@justinstewart3248 11 месяцев назад

It’s because at the top of the charging curve it can take double or triple the time to charge that it took from say 10-80 percent. It’s waaaaay faster to just charge what you need and keep going. It can charge from 5-75 percent in 15-20 minutes, but from 80 to 100 it could take another 45 minutes. You don’t want to do that. You charge what you need and keep on rolling. Also, If you only need 40 percent to get home, then that’s all you need and you plug in at your garage at home.

@vlad2838 11 месяцев назад

It’s called charger hopping, where you leverage max speeds at the lower end of the pack .

@AML2000 11 месяцев назад

I have a Model 3 RWD which has the LFP battery. You are supposed to charge it to 100% at least once a week. Since I live in a condo with no at home charging I have to supercharge all the time. The charging takes about 20 minutes to 80%, 20 more minutes to 99%, and then around 10 minutes for it to "calibrate". For a road trip I wouldn't charge to 100% if I could avoid it. Fortunately, LFP batteries aren't badly affected by continuous supercharging like the lithium ion batteries. I'm lucky -- the supercharger near where I live only charges 11 cents per kwh before 8am so I just have to get up early!

We get it. Driving a Tesla on a long road trip, using only Interstate highways, ones with Superchargers every 40-50 miles, and getting fantastic charging speeds, is a breeze. These road-trip videos like this are becoming extremely boring. I would still like to see someone try to drive a CCS vehicle OR a Tesla on a road-trip using only US and state highways and watch what happens. Show us how many working charging locations there are on THOSE roadways, and how fast they can charge, and how many units are working versus offline or throttled, and I will watch that video in a heartbeat.
