[@Unkn0wnC0mmand]

Sweet mother of goodness. I have a Model 3 performance that I bought new a couple months ago and just completed an AL to TX back to AL road trip that was 1500 miles long. 2 people, probably 200+lbs of luggage, rain, and 80+mph on roads (TX has fast speed limits), and I got 250-260 miles on a charge at highway speeds over the course of the trip. The trip was 95%+ highway. ~268 wh/mile average. How are you over 300+ wh/mi? Wow. I do run tire pressure at 48PSI, but shouldn’t be that much difference. I like seeing the traffic cones. I like knowing my car sees them in roadwork zones and it has helped me out when reversing near them in multiple scenarios. It does not use any more computational power to display them. Autopilot has to see them and process their existence whether or not they’re displayed. The few pixels shown on the center screen aren’t using *any* more power than if they were not displayed. They are vector-based images, which, in the case of the center display, means that if they are not shown, they’re just replaced with a vector image of a dark spot. In other words, the blank space around the car on each side of the lane is a vector image in the same way that the traffic cone display is, so to the computer a vector image is displayed whether or not it appears as a cone. The autopilot system still sees and processes the cone whether or not it’s displayed for the car to avoid them and that is what uses the computational power.

[@ronb4633]

May I ask what you mean by highway speeds. Following the posted speed limit or? Kyle has a radar detector mounted in his windshield for a reason I think. Also 48psi is certainly a bit high over the 42-45 recommend range but I understand that. I wouldn't want to do that is this bad rain though.

[@thatspectacle4377]

Going back thru the older videos. This is one of my favorite OOS road trips and Alyssa def stole the show here!

Nice Pac-Man water mark on your garage wall at 0:17, ha. Man sucky first part of the trip in the rain. My 3 also used to do better w AP in the rain but the last 6 months of updates seem to have reduced it's ability in bad weather. I'm with Alyssa, give me Chic-Fil-A and I'm happy. Her facial expressions 11:26 13:22 16:27 are hilarious - I'm dying. You should have titled this video 'Another One'. Thanks for filming this.

This is a great video because you are showing a strategy behind a triple threat of EV drivers, bad weather, holiday driving and heavy supercharger use. Thanks for the tips.

You guys are so Lucky in America to have such a great supercharging network, I live in a remote part of Australia. The closest supercharger is 1000 miles away... So we rely on little government chargers they are not Super fast but they still work.

I have been BINGING your EV roadtrip videos this weekend! Great channel I just stumbled upon. Funniest part of this one was you asking Alyssa to explain curbside pickup, lol. Hard to imagine a pre-pandemic world in which that was an oddity. I'm also so interested in the charging speeds. Intriguing that you could've likely done this trip faster in an ID.4 or something given the Tesla infrastructure and crowds in this area rarely had you pulling even 125. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

[@davedubreuil]

Love your channel Kyle. On the supercharger terminology, AFAIK the V1’s were the original 90kw chargers. The 120kw and 150kw are both V2.

[@Thunder7ga]

I go through Florence, SC a few times a year on the way to my parents on the NC coast (from ATL)...I too am amazed at how unused it is. The location is right off 95, and I have never seen more than about 5 stalls used. Now, one you didn't visit on this trip (but mentioned the town) is in Greenville, SC. That only has 8, and it is frequently very full.

[@fin_alinea]

I am also from triangle area and traveled back from FL to RDU on 1/1/2020, supercharges at Kingsland and Savannah were packed with teslas, though everybody is chill.

[@ltsqm]

[@ElectrifiedJourneys]

I’ve been making videos like these for my Leaf over here in Japan since 2014 and I have to admit your wife is way more fun to watch than mine. My wife hates it when I make these kind of videos and she lets me know every time I start filming, but your wife is a way better sport and even adds a lot of personality to your videos. Because I have my children in the car and KZbin is barking at me about the new rules coming in January I pretty much privatized my whole library of vids. I wish you a happy new year and I hope your channel has even more success next year!

Nice video! My 2018 P3D (PUP) made to to Ocala Florida from a 100% charge at Savannah. I had 6% SoC remaining when I arrived at the Ocala Florida Supercharger. I’m going to see how my range compares making the same run in April with my new 19” Tesla Gemini wheels with PS4S on them. Oh and you should have your Wh/mi tab open and give efficiency updates during your return trip! Enjoy your vacation and have a safe trip back.

[@giraffe962]

I have the M3P+ with the PUO as well. My efficiency was in the 300-350 wh/m range. Put the Fast Wheels EV01+ wheels on, with the aero inserts, it will improve range by 10%. Would love to see you do a video about that and compare. The ride is smoother with 18" on, and acceleration is faster too. If you want even more range, use the Michelin Energy Saver tires and make it the roadtrip wheel/tire combo! (18x8.5, 35mm and 70mm fits with no spacers on the PUO)

[@OutofSpecMotoring]

Will be doing a video on efficient / track wheels for performance 3 soon

These are the ones (www.canadawheels.ca/fast-wheels/ev01-plus-titanium-w179562) with the PS4S tires that are developed w tesla (the ones with foam and TO on the outside). Would be interesting to see how much the Michelin Energy Saver would increase the efficiency compared with the PS4S TO and the regular PS4S on these already very efficient wheels on a roadtrip!

Great video Kyle and Alyssa. I am impressed you got this video up so quickly. I have driven down from Toronto to FL on 3 occasions last year. It is nice to see how these SC are holding up.

[@collin9085]

Especially if you live in a cold part of the country. Then batteries are even worse charge times. Plus their whole trip is filled with planning and worrying about where and how long to charge. Seems exhausting. I take about 10-15 road trips a year. I really wanted to get one, but decided it's not practical unless I have two cars.

[@dougowt]

Collin it’s not all about planning and there’s little to worry about. The video is just trying to give you a very thorough explanation of what and why they do things. And you may wish to take the same trip differently. It’s also one of the worst times to travel on one of the worst routes. The vast majority of journeys you wouldn’t think twice. You’d load up, put in your route and go. And when you do stop, you often meet interesting people and I’ve made a few friends along the way. I would find going to a filling station a pain these days, especially on my commute.

[@ZesPak]

1:15 "the depart app finished at 6 while I set it at 8". Yep, common bug, does that all the time on my model S so I gave up on it.

[@VroodenTheGreat]

The last time I did that drive for Christmas (from VA), the bottom half of NC and ALL of SC was a traffic jam. The last 40 miles of SC took 2 hours. ALL of that needs to be 3 lanes.

[@bnkwupt]

The I-95 corridor is all V2. V1 are the early unlit stalls that provide about 110 kW. I don’t think there are any V1 stalls remaining in the US. Savannah was originally V1 back in the day. It’s definitely due for a V3 upgrade or even an expansion now. V2 got an upgrade last year increasing speed from 120 kW to 150 kW on almost all with a few exceptions.

[@Indpendent01]

[@osbornmark1661]

[@francoischarbonneau9447]

This is why Tesla needs to develope their cars with 600 to 700 mile range, your recharging would be less frequent and of course level 3 please!

[@RubenKelevra]

Love your rant about the missing charging capacity, but I guess you're looking too narrow. They obviously have trouble to ramp up the production of the V3 components, but have already a good running production of the V2 components. They are installing V3 superchargers, for example in the trans canada highway, which had zero superchargers before. I think the issue with building new locations is, you need to find a place, rent the space, get proper electrical connections for like 1 MW installed by the grid company and then you can start doing the construction work. Extending a V1 supercharger a bit on the other hand doesn't require any of the steps before, but offer the same amenities for the drivers. Since you don't install an electrical connection exactly to the needs you can probably get away to draw some more power from the grid. This way you can get more throughput to the supercharger network without a long lead time. I think they currently install as fast as they can, and the paperwork and third party companies have trouble to keep up the pace - since money isn't really an issue, after so many new cars have been sold.

[@creatorgenerator1998]

Mine did the same 'freaking out' a few times Dec24 on just a 60km run to a newish 250Kw SC. The weather was foggy and the wipers went ballistic. Yet the windshield was clear. The sky looked a monotone grey so that's likely why AP flipped out. I am starting to think the AI needs more visualisations or to coordinate better with the radar & all cameras for a consensus on the weather.

[@geoguy85]

Thank you sharing your trip and tips for charging. I do not own an EV yet. Can't wait till I get my cybertruck!

[@trex2092]

Come on Cybertrk and V3 can't get here fast enough. One thing I observed from your video and it reenforced my go-to travel plan is to travel at night and sleep in the day like working the night shift, less competition for SC stalls and less traffic on the road.

The issue with AP in the rain is probably due to condensation. At least on your recording you can see condensation patterns were your wipers meet. The area which is hit by both wipers and therefore wiped more often is clearer. A fogged up windscreen would drive me nuts, how can you drive without being bothered by it? Turn the front windscreen defroster on, this should activate the ap camera housing heater as well.

[@amyself6678]

WHAT WAS TIME? At star of day plan was 845am to 11pm so 14 hours to go 820 miles (normal gas car takes 12 hours based on MapQuest going 60mph), but it seems it took to 3am (??) so total of 18 hours or 6 hours more than gas car. Or am I wrong. Yes some was traffic delay.... Sigh. Up in the Midwest off the freeways we have less Tesla chargers. But good on you for sharing info.

[@OutofSpecMotoring]

You have tons of chargers in the Midwest. The traffic was the largest contributor to traffic (hours and hours added because of it) I normally do this trip and it takes about an hour longer than a gas car
