I like that Tesla nav suggests a charge destination to avoid potential problems. Sweet.

[@Jeddin]

That handle extension is for handicap usage. Tesla has recently even designating certain stalls handicap priority stalls and you will find that handle extension on them which is supposed to as them easier to use by allowing more grip and handling options and longer extension for the grip

[@bryanhauer]

Oh, great to know! I saw the stall next to me was handicap as I pulled in, but not that one or the next one I moved to, but maybe missed it. Luckily there is over 50 stalls at that Supercharger 😀 Unfortunately there was something wrong with that one anyways. Good info to know though.

[@renntech44]

Glad you’re back!

[@bryanhauer]

Thanks! 🙏 Needed a little time off 😀 I'm back at it though with some new formats coming up too. Thanks for watching!

[@christinaforsythe1938]

Thanks for showing me another great place to stop near Mt Shasta! You have to go up onto the mountain and do a hike! It's the only place I've been where my ears ring because of the complete lack of sound. I just did Gray Butte trail and it ends with an amazing view of Mt Shasta. Bunny Flats was a great hike, too. It would be worth camping up there! It's an amazing place!

[@bryanhauer]

Thanks! I'll definitely head up there next time. Speaking of ears ringing due to lack of sound... I had that happen when doing a hike on Mt Charleston in NV. Was so eerily quiet my ears rang. First time I experienced that. Thanks so much for watching and hope all is going well for you 😀

[@christinaforsythe1938]

@@bryanhauer So, did you leave the camping spot near Olympic NP and go straight to Oregon? Or did I miss an episode? I thought you did a hike before you left.

[@bryanhauer]

@christinaforsythe1938 I did. Went for a quick drive through, but no hike. Got time crunched, unfortunately.

[@bickert19]

15:22 Check out Oru Kayak - Lake. Foldable kayak which does not require a mount.

[@bryanhauer]

Awesome! Thanks so much 👍🏻

[@mchoy1972]

I also came here to say this about the Oru Kayak also. The Oru Inlet and the Lectric XP Lite will both fit in the back of a Model Y.

[@DblOSmith]

I hope you realize your videos helped me get into car camping and I've camped in all 4 corners of the country and lots of places in between. Thanks a lot for your content. Hope to run into you sometime!

[@bryanhauer]

That is awesome! You just made my day 😀 It never gets old hearing stories like this. Stay safe out there and hope to see you out on the open road 👍🏻

[@DblOSmith]

@@bryanhauer What was your favorite place so far? I think mine was Rocky Mountain National Park. Just surrounded by Moose and Bears and Estes Park, CO is just so beautiful. The hotel/restaurant by the SC up there has some fantastic food. Just so nice.

[@bryanhauer]

@DblOSmith That’s a great one! I have family that live nearby Rocky Mountain NP so have been there before and loved it. Mine is probably Zion NP and I’ve really enjoyed the Lake Tahoe area as well.

[@DblOSmith]

@@bryanhauer Tahoe in is nice. I've been to Moab but not Zion. Will put it on the list. Thank you!

[@Skylord3000]

awesome video dude! keep it up!

[@bryanhauer]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@BitJam]

Thanks Bryan! I loved the views and you keeping it real with the importance of a shower. XL shower wipes can help out in a pinch. PS: I'm having a blast with my e-bike.

[@bryanhauer]

Oh nice 👍🏻 Yeah, those things are so fun! I find myself taking mine out a couple times a week around the lakes here in MN even when I'm not on the road. 😀

[@ifirekirby7498]

Thanks for visiting Oregon :) Definitely stop by Bend sometime, I have a ranch out there! It’s a great balance between city and outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, etc. Probably my favorite place in Oregon.

[@bryanhauer]

Very cool!

[@johnreese3762]

Great well done video, thanks!!

[@bryanhauer]

Glad you liked it! Appreciate you tuning in 🙏

[@fb341]

Another great video. I’ve really been enjoying this travel series. Besides suggesting an Origami kayak, which I noticed someone else also suggested, you should consider looking into a 12V charger for your bike battery for better charging efficiency. You’re definitely taking a a couple hits in efficiency by going from your solar generator’s DC battery, through the AC inverter, then through the bike charger’s transformer only to get back to DC charging. Lectric apparently does not offer one but, if you’re interested, a quick look at the AC charger’s specs should tell you what you need in a third party DC charger. Just a thought. Take care on your journey!

[@bryanhauer]

Thank you and great tip on the charging! I’ll take a look at that for sure. 👍

[@itreallyaj]

saw your Model Y in Maplewood, Minnesota and managed to catch your YT tag.

[@bryanhauer]

Nice 👍🏻 Hope you enjoy the videos! I from MN originally and spend most of my summers here. My favorite place in the world for about 4 months of the year. 🤣

[@kapanda1142]

Bryan, first time comment We’ve been watching you for a while now Please do a deep dive analysis video on charging and range impact to your model Y Love to understand the degradation that now exists

[@bryanhauer]

Thanks so much for watching 😀 I've already done videos on home charging and Supercharging so what info specifically are you looking for? If you're worried about how charging degrades your battery, don't. It's already been proven it's so minimal that there's no point. Ryan Shaw listed a study in a video I think from a week or two ago that showed there's virtually no impact that noticeable enough to care about.

[@samerine]

I was waiting for a M3 to finish charging a few weeks ago. He had a cargo carrier on the back like you have but he took up three spaces. He must not have thought he could still back into the spot with the carrier.

[@bryanhauer]

Oh wow! 🤣 I've never had an issue at any Supercharger pulling in normally. Took me a couple times to get it down and easy peasy 👍🏻 I saw a Model 3 the other day with no cargo box or anything on it parked dead in the middle of two spots for no apparent reason other than... he sucks at life 🤷‍♂️ I was leaving so didn't even bother seeing wth he was up to.

[@samerine]

I guess it takes some folks longer to figure things out than others. 🙂@@bryanhauer

[@MechayaAlta]

When on autopilot and passing a semi, if the semi moves too close to your car, will the Tesla move over and hug the left side of your lane? My Subaru Outback will not and I shut off lane centering (but leave on cruise control) when passing a semi on twisty portions of I5.

[@bryanhauer]

It does and will also alert you when they start coming in your lane.

[@MechayaAlta]

@@bryanhauer thanks.I often drive from Seattle down I5 to San Diego and the wind can move a semi right over into your lane. This advantage that Tesla has over other cars lane centering is not well known.

[@MechayaAlta]

@@bryanhauer does the basic autopilot do this? Which do you have?

[@bryanhauer]

@@MechayaAlta I currently have FSD Beta, but regular Autopilot should do it as well.

[@dragon5946]

is that a 19 inch tires? what brand plate is that, looks awesome.

[@bryanhauer]

20 inch induction.

[@Edgemonster505]

I literally just seen ylu and your tesla outside of ups in minnesota

[@bryanhauer]

Should have said hi... if you could catch me 😜 I'm originally from MN so spend most of my summers here. Say hi next time 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@devsp320]

Hi Bryan. I noticed your tlyard fridge is not installed in the back of the tesla in this video. Did you take it off for some reason? I was thinking of getting one. Thanks

[@bryanhauer]

This was filmed a few months ago before I installed it 😀 I still have mine installed and use it often. Only tip if you do get one is don't over fill it as the cool air won't get down to the bottom if there's too much stuff at the top blocking it. Other than that, it's been great cause it's so out of the way. 👍🏻

[@devsp320]

@@bryanhaueroh great! The reason I want this is because is out of the way!!! Thanks for tip!

[@bluedog9935]

Hey, it’s been a while but if you’re just taking a break I’m sure it’s well deserved. Hope everything is going well. Take care!

[@bryanhauer]

Just taking a break to enjoy the end of the summer and doing some reformatting of my videos on new ones I’m filming. Will be back at it shortly 😀

[@samanthas1168]

Is there a day 18 for the Olympic NP?

[@bryanhauer]

Nope. On days I took a break I didn’t film. I ended up in a time crunch to get back to Vegas, but there are a few more fun ones coming up.

[@jletratv5852]

Where do you get your tires from? Much love & respect 🫡

[@bryanhauer]

They are the 255/40R-20 VREDESTEIN QUATRAC PRO XL's which are amazing in the snow and just great all-season tires. Much better than the Michelin's that came with my Model Y.

[@jletratv5852]

@@bryanhauer wow nice! I have Model Y as well thanks for the help Bryan! 🫡💪🏽

[@Jlui83]

Roof rack or hitch for cargo? Pros and cons? I saw some of your older videos with the roof rack. It looks awesome but the range killer it is!!

[@bryanhauer]

I prefer the rear hitch cargo box for three reasons… 1. Way less range loss. About 5% vs 25% or higher on the roof rack. 2. Much quieter with virtually no noise. Rooftop has a lot of wind noise. 3. More versatile. Can more easily get into, can cook on, move out of way. One con is the weight limit on the Model Y rear hitch. You only end up with about 75 lbs to play with. That’s fine for me since I fill it with clothes, camping gear and other lightweight stuff that takes up a lot of room, but isn’t very heavy. I fill it completely.

[@Jlui83]

@@bryanhauerah thanks for the reply. I currently don’t have the roof rack or a hitch on my model y. Thinking of getting either or right now to add some more cargo space. Roof rack def looks better IMO but that range loss and worry of cracking the roof has me on edge lol. I’m leaning on getting a hitch and then some carrier and box. Not sure if I need that swing arm. Looks nice but wonder without the swing arm and just a carrier and box couldn’t put more weight.

[@MechayaAlta]

If range were the same would you buy a Texas Y (newer cells, megacasting) or a California Y?

[@bryanhauer]

No preference.

[@reneepren]

I enjoy your videos. I have a MYLR23. I love to go camping but my favorite camping spot is up a winding dirt mountain road and I’m worried about clearance. In the past I took a Chevy Silverado. Have you had any experience on your travels with doing winding dirt mountain roads? If so, I would love to hear your feedback.

[@bryanhauer]

I have. I've done everything a light truck could do. You can watch my Zion National Park video where I go up some windy dirt roads and never had much of an issue. Obviously it has its limits, but I've taken it "off-road" quite a few times. The AWD performs great! Here's the Zion video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npqbmKl4atung5Isi=H6ZU9JpuStR_9VWW

[@reneepren]

[@MechayaAlta]

@@bryanhauerFor forest service roads, I believe a minimum of 8” ground clearance is recommended, which I don’t think Tesla has. I wish it did. This is why I travel and camp in a Subaru Outback. Our around town car is a Nissan Leaf.

[@bryanhauer]

@@MechayaAlta "Recommended" is the key word. Never had an issue. Just have to know the cars limits. I've been all over off-roading throughout the west. Of course I know when it's not safe or a smart idea for the car and don't take those roads, but it can absolutely be done.

[@BitJam]

I got a 1/8" aluminum skid plate from Mountain Pass Performance for my MY. Better safe than sorry.

[@cwliias]

do you find an anytime fitness membership has a lot of showering availability? what other gym memberships do you have? more broadly what apps so you suggest for prolonged trips

[@bryanhauer]

Hi Connor - I do find most Anytime Fitness clubs have showers and I only pay around $35/mo so it's a great value if you travel a lot. I've heard Planet Fitness has a lot of locations with showers as well. For travel I suggest the Platinum AAA membership and app, Plugshare app along with a few of the charging apps like Electrify America, Chargepoint, Shell Recharge and EVGO. Probably a good travel/hotel app and the apps The Dyrt and Campendium for finding camping destinations along with the Recreation.gov app for booking them. Hope that helps!
