Tip: Stop more frequently and keep your battery between 10 and 70%. More efficient charging and you’ll get to your destination quicker.

[@DetroitFury]

Agreed!!! Mentioned that around my 5th - 6th Stop🦾

[@Trillville43]

More like 5% and 80%

[@cryptoslacker-464]

Thats an epic road trip. You know you have done a long trip when the weather goes from snow storms to a bright and sunny hot climate lol 😆

[@vlad2838]

I make this exact trip in a MY several times a year, and the Supercharger network makes it a breeze. Keep up the great work!

[@DetroitFury]

Yes!!! I also went the other way through Virginia on I 77 and that trip is super fun too!!!

I make the trip from PA to Fl every summer and take my MYP. Even though it takes slightly longer than our 4-runner the trip seems faster. It’s more relaxed instead of the mindset of get gas and go go go

[@DetroitFury]

That's a very good point!!!

Awesome trip!!!! Thank you

[@aaronbounds1336]

Not a bad start to a road trip with the first stop in the next state, and the second stop in a different state. Try A Better Route Planner for optimized charging stops. You will end up getting there more quickly overall. More stops, but for much shorter duration- single digit number of minutes, or maybe teens number of minutes per stop instead of 40 minute stops.

[@DetroitFury]

Yes! I mentioned that later in the video at like the 4-5th stop

[@MrGoldeneagle286]

my 22 model 3 still has the sensors. i prefer using those but parking in a lot is better with vision cuz it visualizes the lines and everything

[@Deetroiter]

Used to solo by myself nonstop overnight from detroit to california coast (don’t ask LOL) and vice versa. sadly there’s no way I could pull that off these days in my Tesla like I could in the ICE vehicle. In all reality I wouldn’t do that anymore like I used to anyways so these stops for charging in the Tesla would be totally fine and welcomed. Did you run into many stops that had wait times, etc?

[@DetroitFury]

not many wait times at all after the first stop......sheesh...i did the travel from detroit to vegas and cali then back......talk about a fun trip.......i however would never do that again unless i was planning on making a ton of stops on the way with friends in different cities.....

[@nasifchowdhury23]

Cool vid! What kind of mount did you use to mount the camera to the display?

[@ratukamina]

if you use "a better route planner" will it lessen your number of charging stops?

[@DetroitFury]

Not really......the software plans the best route for you based on current conditions and charge times .....I went the other way through West Virginia and I stopped a bit more times but for shorter amounts

[@RedDragon72q]

In all of my trips from Houston to Dallas there are two stops for the family. At an average 15 min per each stop I can tell you that gas or electric it makes no difference. If I go by myself then I can drive with only one stop, because I am going 85-90 and that stop is only 10 min to "top off" and take a wiz. I don't mind at all. If they ever deliver a 500 mile battery pack then yep most gas cars would be in trouble. Also note that people who drive a gas car equivalent to my MYP will only get 17 mpg anyways so it all averages out for me.

[@HeathRS]

They did update the Model 3 too. It now does have the wireless chargers and Type-C everywhere in the interior and the chrome on the outside is removed. My iPhone 14 Pro Max fits perfectly and my wife has the Samsung S22+. I have a 2023 model.

[@DetroitFury]

Yes they did!!! But I think the model 3 is getting yet another upgrade now 🤣😅

[@Kaneda0015]

What was the problem when things were being disabled? Just because of the cold weather?

[@JaHm3sZ]

What kind of tires are you using on this trip? Are they all season or are they winter sets?

[@MarioRigby]

I tried a road trip with my Model Y across North America, it was an epic experience. Nearly got stuck in a few locations

[@DetroitFury]

Nice!!

[@Unclebraaad]

I've done Miami to Cincinnati round trip twice, about to make it my third(about a 20 1/2 hours trip). Also have done Miami to Ashville, NC. My question to you is, do you ever get sketched out charging during the late hours? Like 1am to 5am? My last trip I was just walking the perimeter keeping high alert(this was GA area and TN) while my family chilled in the car. Otherwise, I feel like a sitting duck. It also looks live I charged in the same locations you did..

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

9:14 - Yeah, the word I think you're looking for is "exorbitant"! 😂😂😂

[@DetroitFury]

😆

[@AnOldGuy164]

A couple times a year I drive 1100 miles (16 hours) to the Grand Canyon, sleep, hike down and up, sleep, and drive 1100 miles home. Driving an EV would make the trip unbearable. Regardless of range optimal charging will require 15-20 minutes of charging for every 2 hours of driving. And the cost per mile for fuel will be more than my ICE - Honda Accord. Both significant issues given the premium cost of an EV.

What do you mean with performance tires? You have a 2023 YP? Then it came with all season Michelin pilot sport 4 tires.

It depends on the rims.....with the performance rims and tires I notice it a bit more for sure😎

How does the handling compare between the 3 Performance and the Y performance? Is the 3 more nimble or you can't tell a difference ? Do you also feel a difference when you floor it?

The 3 is way more nimble

[@Lumpygrits76]

I’ve been fighting getting into one of these for a while. But my wife is wanting one and I’m still keeping my 2023 4Runner. I told her I’m not sure about buying one but (we’re not the leasing type) I’d entertain the idea of maybe doing a 3 year lease (rental).

[@JenniferVillareale-e6x]

Great video! Did you do this trip with the stock performance tires that came with the vehicle? We have the same MYP 2023 and live in western NY and have been told that these tires are awful in cold and snow.

[@aaronbounds1336]

Yes, necessarily so. All season or summer tires are specifically made to not work well in temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and winter road conditions. Tires make a huge difference in vehicle performance. Any car will be much worse in any conditions the tires aren’t designed to handle. All Weather tires are made for all four seasons, including snow and cold temps. Michelin makes the CrossClimate2 tire. Nokias makes the Hakkapeliittas, and just came out with a new All Weather tire. Other tire manufacturers make other options as well. For best performance in summer and winter, the best option is to have two sets of tires. One for winter, and one for the other seasons, depending on all the factors, of course.

[@TonyMobley365]

How smooth was this ride in the P model.....considering the low profile tires?

[@DetroitFury]

Decent! Not as comfortable as normal rims and tires though

[@Rockytesla]

[@bradhaughton6698]

This is just me if I'm doing a long distance road trip because I want to avoid the amount of stop if I had a Tesla the first two legs at 100% then the rest of them is at 80 or 85 percent

[@SavetheWater1]

here b/c I need a new vehicle, seems more like a pain, plus your not really saving money. Also would've been nice to know some details such as how many miles you were getting per charge, did you charge to %100, at what % did you stop to charge the battery. Think I'm going GV70.

[@DetroitFury]

I stopped anywhere from 5-15% range.....once at 30 I get 280-290 miles with mine consistently for now

[@aaronbounds1336]

Depends…lots of savings to be had if you have certain home charging conditions. For example: it costs me between $0 and $2.10 to drive my M Y 300 miles if I recharge at home, and it’s super convenient because the car is always ready to drive without having to stop at a gas station. It costs about 1/3 less than gas to go on a road trip without free supercharging miles. It takes longer, but for many folks that’s okay, or even better as compared to road tripping with gas or diesel. For me, with all of my personal variables, I much prefer electric to gas. Not even a hesitation. But it’s not for everyone. I much prefer taking a little longer getting there because the trade off is I feel much better, much more relaxed and less stressed, because the car literally drives me everywhere. I hardly ever drive at all. I sit in the driver’s seat and supervise, but it’s light work compared to actually driving. Second, it gives me more time to play with the kids and have fun little experiences that we would never have gotten to have had we not stopped to charge. Third, the car is much safer than any other car in its class, by a lot. Fourth, I never hear any complaints from the wife or kids about having to pee on a road trip, because we’re stopping every couple of hours to recharge so every charge stop can be a toilet stop. Fifth, the car stays much cleaner. I bring a squeegee and spray bottle with me and clean the windshield and front fascia of the car at most charging stops. It uses up some time and serves a good purpose. Sixth, when I bought the Tesla I bought some of my life back - no more time spent doing maintenance: no more oil changes, brake jobs, water pump/timing belt, spark plugs, air filter, etcetera- the car doesn’t have any of those parts, so they don’t need maintenance. I did take it in for an alignment, but all cars need that from time to time. Everyone has their own criteria for what makes something “better” or “worse”, but for me, I am never going back to gas, because driving a Tesla is a better overall experience and the trade offs fit my lifestyle and preferences.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So not only would I not have spent that extra money buying the model Y performance, I think the money would’ve been better spent buying (FSD beta). So can you imagine that trip in a year or two when FSD beta is no longer FSD beta, it’s simply FSD? So I drive a Tesla 2018 Model 3 duel motor long range battery pack and when I got the car the battery pack was initially rated at 316 miles. So I purchased FSD at the initial price of 3K and now it’s a $15,000 option. So can you imagine the cost when (FSD beta) is just (FSD) and it can do all of the driving? Not to mention that Tesla is continuing to improve the battery packs and rolling out more and faster Superchargers. Yeah, I think we all know that driving a Tesla is going to be the way everyone is going to wanna travel in the future. Just load up your car, get in it, and go to sleep. Cheers 🥂

How much battery was left when arrived at 1st supercharger? How long did you charge up to and up to what percentage? How much did it cost at this supercharger? I see so many of these videos that doesn't break the essentials down correctly.

Thank you Tesla for incorporating all of the safety features in your cars to help make up for the drivers who stay up for 24 hours straight giving them the reactions and decision making capabilities abilities of a drunk driver. Unlike doing something risky like free climbing a difficult rock face in the middle of nowhere, you are incorporating all the other drivers on the road into your risk taking adventure. Please stop and sleep next time and every time after that.

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

I don't know if I agree with you when you say you're spending an extra 4 hours charging your car. Most people aren't driving more than 2-3 hours or so, no matter what kind of car they have, before needing to eat, use the bathroom and stretch the legs. If you decide, screw that, I'm driving for the next 4 hours straight, you're going to pay the piper on the other end where, all of a sudden, you'll find that you can't go more than an hour or so before you have to stop again. The only way you can go more than 3 hours is if you have more than one driver in the car, and one is driving while everyone else is sleeping. Yeah, in that case, ICE beats electric. But I've never experienced that because, no matter what, someone in the car will beg that they need to stop and use the bathroom, etc.

[@DetroitFury]

That's why I go alone .....peace and quiet😏

[@BadBackOz]

That may be true for the most part, but there are people who will drive for 20+ hours stopping only for fuel breaks. I've driven 1,400 miles straight 3 times with 4 gas stops and couple quick rest stops. Drive would have been even easier with something like Autopilot. (Also, I don't recommend these long basically non stop drives. Lol)

[@Cliff01Austin]

I've been doing ROAD TRIP for YEARS, and I almost finished the 48 states, and NEVER I kept on stopping every 2-3 hours, as that's too much! I drove Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna for 5k miles every years with always 5÷ hours of driving before we stopped, period.
