The model 3 comes with one size battery from the factory. This is why they don't mention the size battery in the model name any more. So if she wanted the long range all she has to do is pay for it and Tesla would unlock the extended range from the computer. Now the performance model that has "ludicrous" mode does have a bigger electric motor.

Once they built the new freeway, no one stopped along their route which was Route 66 😉. I would think that all the technology that there would be longer distance batteries or charge. Come on Tesla, which by the way is shameful how they use his name, but I digress. I have read that Tesla cars should be able to go 1,000 miles minimum. So what gives, Elon?

[@L0n3W0lfBl4ck]

My wife and I travel 400+ miles a minimum of 10x a year. If driving 8hrs in an ICE is going to be 10-12 hrs that kind of sucks. I like the idea of EVs I just want one that can do 400+ miles on a charge, then I will switch over. So for some people to be concerned about road trips they are justified, but like you said honestly consider how often you will go on long trips, then choose the car that suits your needs.

[@kenmcclow8963]

My car goes 240 miles on a full charge which is 3 hours @ 80mph, or 4 hours@ 60mph. I usually have to pee by then and/or I get hungry or thirsty. Stopping for 20-30 minutes for bathroom and refreshments while you charge isn't going to ruin your trip if it's 400ish miles. More than that I would have to stop a second time to pee again, and charge. Tesla is the only one getting close to a 400 mile range and that's only on the most expensive car, but batteries are getting better. I suspect a lot of car companies are going to make the batteries smaller which makes the cars lighter and more efficient rather than maximize range.

I think there's a little hyperbole in that. For many people, they have one or two cars, and those vehicles need to fit all the needs of their family. If you do tend to do toad trips (we've gone cross country three times in the last six years), your daily driver either needs to be able to ha sleep that demand, or you need to resolve yourself to renting. I think the range worries are certainly a little overblown. But I do think many of them are valid. And it's probably why videos like this see so many hits. People want to feel assured that they can do that once every couple years cross country trip, if they want to. When you're spending upwards of $40k on a vehicle, you probably aren't looking to make many compromises.

[@codmott286]

or maybe those videos debunk hers. Most people dont go for 20 minute recharges, they go for the max fillup which is 40 minutes. Now imagine stopping 10 times to fillup. Thats 6 hours spent at the chargers. You basically lose an entire day of travel hanging around random hillbilly towns. It's cute the first time you do it but gets old FAST.

[@SpencerOlson]

@@codmott286 I see your point but actually most people only charge for as long as the car tells them too unless they know they are driving through a region where they might want some extra range like mountains. Most people know not to charge to 100% every time you charge because it degrades your battery. Also V3 superchargers will start being way more prevalent in the future where time to charge completely is 20-25 minutes. So even then if you aren't fully charging at V3 stations then your stops might be around 10-15 minutes.

[@deekay2899]

Cod Mott your comment didn’t make sense. If they’re charging up to full every time then there would be less stops in general. Pick one. Either more short stops. Or less but longer ones. You can’t paint the picture and make it seem like it’s gone me many long stops. Besides, she has the standard range. There’s always the bigger battery option. Yes it’s more expensive but hey, if you’re looking into an electric car you should know the implications on your wallet. Lastly, people act like they go on 200 road trips every month. Like seriously...road trips??? That’s just the internets way of nitpicking electric cars. The average person just commutes within a city for most of the year. How often do you go on road trips?

[@codmott286]

@@deekay2899 1000 miles is 1000 miles friend. Whether you want to make 10 short stops or 5 long one's it's all the same time spent in the end. The point is who wants to stop at all? EV cars require many more stops, to the point it's a huge pain in the ass. If people only commute in their city then who the hell needs a 250 mile range battery in the first place? You're paying for a 250 mile battery so you can drive 20 miles per day? Yikes. I say again, if you want a Tesla and can afford it then more power to you, get it and have fun. You have the right to buy any car you want. Just dont try to make excuses for your decision.

[@RJandCharlene]

Note: Check the number of the Super Charger stall you're using. Sometimes they do not put super chargers that share a battery pack right next to each other. Sometimes they spread them out, so you could potentially be sharing with someone even if they're not next to you!

RJ and Charlene like luv 1 or lv2 they are couple lv3s that charge really fast and it’s insane

[@NytronX]

And? Go on? What am I checking for? Comparing the number to the other stalls? Certain value? Lower is better, higher is better? What?

[@kenmcclow8963]

@@NytronX On the older Superchargers they will be in pairs, like 1A and 1B, 2A and 2B, but if they originally had six stalls and added four more the newer pairs might not be next to each other. So if you are looking at 4B, you will get a faster charger if 4A is unoccupied. If you are sharing with another car that was there before you, then you get the left over from what they are not using. As the other car gets more full it will slow down it's charge and you will get a faster charge. If you get plugged in first, the other car gets your leftover charge. This is mostly on the old 120kw chargers. The new 250kw chargers are not shared, they are individual. My car is almost five years old, so my maximum charge speed is 103kw and it tapers down fairly quickly. Newer Model S and X can go faster and Model 3 and Model Y go a lot faster, so they can charge almost twice as fast as I can.

Pro-tip. If you are afraid of your range getting to the next supercharger, just drive like 5 miles an hour slower or find a semi to drag behind.

I've done road trips from Utah to Washington in the Model 3 and I actually like road tripping in a Tesla. It forces you to stop and enjoy your surroundings, get out and explore parts of the country you otherwise would have just blown through. I've done road trips from Utah to Las Vegas in the Model S and trips from Utah to LA in a Model X and same thing, I like it! Sure, quicker charging time in the future will be nice but being forced to get out of my car and stretch my legs makes the trip feel shorter.

So someone may have explained this already but the car recognizes that your hands are on the wheel when it detects a rotational force on the wheel.

Hi Shelby, great video and production quality! Quick question - when you mention that your Tesla was on AutoPilot, does this mean your 3 doesn't have Full Self Driving? I'm asking because my wife and I got a 3 without FSD - just wanted to clarify, as we could potentially be doing a roadtrip soon. Thank you!

It is interesting to see this after Aspyn and Parker got rid of their Tesla. I see both sides now. All the stops for them (especially now) is a little bit harder but for a group of friends on a road trip it is not that bad. (Plus if you really look at the map Utah is lacking compared to California) Great job Shelby! Really have been loving your videos lately.

[@carmp3fan]

Any extra time to charge will generally be offsite by the reduction in bio breaks and snack breaks since the superchargers are generally in convenient locations.

[@BronwynAlexandriaa]

Literally you and Monica are KILLING it with the content. I was subbed for YEARS. Since you both lived in seattle... but over about a year ago, I unsubbed (both of you were sort of hitting funks in the creator realm and what not) but recently (the past month or two) I resubbed. Because y’all are KILLLLLLING IT!!!!! So happy y’all are exploding with inspiration.

Imagine stopping every 2 hours on a long road trip. That adds up a lot of time.

[@stacey5712]

J Carlos yes but also it shouldn’t be a big deal, but also personally a electric car is better for the environment and getting breaks like that is good

[@elwingy]

they also advise you to take 15 min break for every hour of videogaming. Or something like that. And tons of other things. Are you doing them? Not always. Why? Because it is not always convenient.

[@stacey5712]

elwingy ok and? Like I absolutely love the idea of Tesla’s and electric cars because it stops and helps stop climate change and pollution I don’t get why people try to bash Tesla and say they are a bad car and not “ convenient” Tesla owners are one of the most happiest people with their car and I research tons of shit on Tesla and reviews. Haven’t heard a single negative review from someone

[@elwingy]

​@@stacey5712 You misunderstood me. I really like electric cars. I have my eyes on a Polestar 2. But the range is an issue I cant just ignore. I am however willing to try and adapt to it best I can. I just dont like it when people kind of "sugarcoat" existing actual issues. I love almost everything about electric cars except this. Also, while on the subject, I agree that electric cars are better for the environment but they are not "green" per se. Infrastructure is going to play a huge role as to how green electric cars will eventually become.

Hey, Shelby, would you rather take a ride on Amtrak’s Passenger Trains on Coast Starlight, Southwest Chief, Texas Eagle, Sunset Limited, California Zephyr, Empire Builder, City of New Orleans, or Capitol Limited Routes? You may have breakfast, lunch, or dinner at a dining car, and later have some snacks at the bottom of the sightseer lounge car, while on sightseeing views.

There should be a camera to analyze drivers head direction and if eyes open to know if driver is looking at the road

[@melbell3003]

For reference, we usually drove 563 miles and it usually takes us 8.5 hours to get there, so you would be adding some time to your route, probably for charging stations. And I always wondered why I don’t see Tesla’s in Texas and it’s provably because Tesla charging stations are mainly only located in Houston, and Texas is huge and full of farm land. A road trip would probably be impossible.

[@chriss6356]

Unfortunately, the difference is very substantial if you can only afford the standard range (like me). I drive from my university to home several times a year and it is normally an 11 hour drive. In a standard range tesla, the route it gives is a 25 hour drive.

[@Chobaca]

If you go slower you will go longer per energy unit. The curve isn't linear. So if you get in that situation again, drive slower and watch the mileage increase.

[@pewil83]

9:45 if you run out of juice you could still try to hypermile it - with my MS i would reduce speed to about 45-50 miles per hour and see how consumtion drops - maybe you already know this funny guy Bjørn Nyland form Norway who does a ton of videos on his Teslas and other EVs and inlcuding this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp3PnoSZhdGnkK8 (hypermiling at 30 mph in a model x with trailer)

Nice vid. I recently rented a LR AWD Model 3 in Colorado (keep familiarity with my Model 3) and had some range anxiety at first bc we don't have Superchargers in Hawaii so I wasn't sure about road trips. But the nav handled it like a champ. 😎

[@SmoothGummi]

Absolutely one of the most underrated and difficult things to describe about Autopilot is how you don't feel tired after driving a long distance. I never can really explain it to people, but it's a completely real thing. You don't realize how much your brain is concentrating when you drive. In Autopilot, you are paying attention, but not concentrating, and it makes a world of difference. Autopilot is the best.

When you compare gas vs electricity price. Its probably best to calculate gas mpg less than the manufacture mpg because the car was loaded and along with air conditioning. That Audi probably get 15-20% less mpg.

[@aggressor9517]

nice car, the video is entertaining, but the orange should be on the side of the steering wheel I think, not dead center, cause that way and because of the weight it'll think there is a hand on the steering, when you put it on the center there will be no weight that tries to move the wheel...

As a Tesla owner you were shocked at how fast it charged, and urged your friends to take a different car the day before the trip. If Tesla owners are like that it’s no wonder non Tesla owners are too. These fears come from ignorance about what the car is capable of. Tesla’s are amazing. Hands down my dream car.

You only used Tesla super chargers on this road trip, via west coast. If you don’t have that option available it entirely changes your trip time, charge time.

I loooove the entire charging station dynamic because it’s more cost efficient AND it’s better for the environment! Not to mention, when you go on a long road trip, everyone enjoys taking short breaks here and there to stretch your legs and see the sites! Someone PLEASE buy me a Tesla 🥺😂❤️

you can take it on a road trip, you may need to plan a bit more but places to charge are becoming more popular & available. plus ➕ super-charging is very fast, one hour or less I think. So definitely you can go cross country.

[@pahanin2480]

Just completed a trip with my model x on a 1,200 mile trip. It added 11 supercharger stops and 16 hours more than if we’re to drive my has vehicle. It saved me about $80-$100 in fuel cost. It was not worth the extra 16 hours. Round trip was an additional 32 hours.
