Love all of the explanations of why not to charge to 100%. I personally like to supercharge between 5% and about 40% since it's about a bathroom break for me. The lower the battery, the faster it charges. You'll get used to it soon enough! Welcome to the Tesla fam.

[@TeslaVoltt]

Thank you!

[@jakestimson3451]

Not enough people do this.. I do the same, if im not in the rush ill usually leave once charge rate drops below 100kw/hr

[@amrindraouk3440]

This is my first electric vehicle. I love the experience so far, especially the smooth and quiet ride. The acceleration is also impressive. I previously owned a Honda Accord, which is a completely different driving experience.

[@KyleTexx]

which trim did you get

[@amrindraouk3440]

@@KyleTexx I got the M3 Long Range. When I placed my order, the performance trim was not yet available.

[@Prince-fr2lr]

@@amrindraouk3440how would you compare the driving experience of the M3L to the accord

can not wait for the white interior ones

[@TeslaVoltt]

Same here!

[@Riverrain123]

niceee

[@TeslaVoltt]

Thank you!!

[@RedemptiveChief]

Bit of friendly advice dont charge to 100% on the superchargers. The time it takes the car to get from 90-100% is so much longer than it takes from 20% to 80%. You are usually much better off leaving once it hits 80-85 than waiting till it hits 100%. Also that Mile predictor is no way to plan your journies with. Its better to work with percentages. I have never seen an Electric vehicle (tesla or not) where it's accurate for the journey you're about to do. The best ones guess based on the journies you've already done.

[@SamiPaju]

Afaik the reason for those poor estimates is that they're based on WLTP ranges, not calculated using actual / predicted consumption figures for the trip.

[@andywright3107]

The energy monitor screen gives a far better projection of range as it's based on recent driving rather than the on-screen battery icon percentage/miles that's based on the fixed EPA efficiency figure.

[@tallbrownie8109]

Yea unless you get tesla RWD which has LFP battery you can charge to 100%

[@TeslaVoltt]

Thank you! I am learning as I go

[@matthewmcdonald9107]

Pittsburgh highways and suburbs have absolutely awful roads. They are always perpetually under construction, and there are potholes everywhere. Always traffic just a terrible place to live.

[@matthewmcdonald9107]

OK but how much money did all the super charging cost? Curious as I dont own an EV and would be interested in how much cheaper a trip like this would cost vs gas

[@ConorPorter]

It’s an egregious mistake to supercharge to 100%. I suspect you did some video edits, but you will agree it said 5 minutes remaining for 20 minutes. On road trips you don’t use the Tesla route planner. Enter the next Tesla Supercharger by finding it on your trip map. Reach that supercharger and enter the next Tesla Supercharger destination. Leave as soon as you will arrive with 10-15% remaining. Repeat. You could have done 3 sessions and reached your destination 45 minutes earlier. You will charge for 10-15 minutes and get on the road again.

[@TeslaVoltt]

Thank you! I genuinely did not know. I am still a fairly new Tesla user😅

[@ConorPorter]

@@TeslaVoltt it's ok, it is the showroom and dealerships that are responsible for informing the buyer. The culture has shifted to "make as much money as possible with only the bare minimum service to rank well on surveys."

[@ojlise]

Where in Virginia did you go?

[@kingmittenplayz8361]

I love your content my man. Hulu seem to enjoy your Tesla and I’m on the fence about it. I really want a model 3 perf I mean is it worth it ?

[@TeslaVoltt]

Thank you!! Yea, I would actually recommend the Model 3 Performance over the Long Range and Rear Wheel Drive!

[@AbdullahKhan-ik9ed]

@@TeslaVolttwhy so isn’t having more range better? Just asking

[@sagar__sharma]

i was hoping you are going to do fsd from start to finish

[@TeslaVoltt]

I didn’t have FSD at the time I went on the road trip

[@johnjohn3241]

5:37 You don’t have to bring your phone when stepping out to charge even if you close the door.

[@thomasjacques5286]

What was the wh/mi info.

[@maxtechtech7478]

You went through my college town of Williamsport. How was the sheetz

[@maxtechtech7478]

A little tip. Bipass US 15 by using I 180 you might use more energy but their are no lights and its a smoother drive

[@TeslaVoltt]

Not too bad!

[@i.d.6492]

That's a long time sitting waiting

[@ConorPorter]

He did it incorrectly. You want to avoid charging past 80%.

[@TeslaVoltt]

Still new to Tesla supercharger

[@Fumbiii16]

@@TeslaVolttyou’re new to Tesla not just the charger lol

[@44Nyx]

@@ConorPorteronly at superchargers or in general?

[@cysong88161]

if your trip is 400 miles and long range can go ~300 miles why did you charge to 100% at home ? you could have charged to 90% and it wouldnt have made a big difference it seems. Just curious

[@TeslaVoltt]

You’re right. It was my very first roadtrip with the model 3 since I am still new with the vehicle. I am learning as I go.

[@timothynguyenn]

Tesla Maps uses Google Maps data.

[@adjust.clinic]

Why would you add Apple CarPlay? I don’t get why you would go through the trouble. And you end up with grandpa’s Garmin on your windshield?

[@TeslaVoltt]

Normally I wouldn’t, it’s just for a different video.

[@user-kh1ye2pt2h]

Look at this guy charging to 100% on the super charger. 🤦

[@TeslaVoltt]

New Tesla owner. Sorry
