I love these videos because they're so true to life. The hassles of recharging, the cranky wife trying to be nice, speeding in the middle of nowhere, range anxiety - we really do get the whole picture.

[@ervin9805]

wife? hahaha

[@modulonatic]

Overland KZbinrs: You need a lifted SUV or Pickup for driving over obstacles such as sand! Kyle: Hold my Starbucks. 😂

[@OrangeCountyDog]

What a laugh, an "expedition." Oooo, the tires touched dirt. Nothing that virtually all cars can do these day and many if not most can handle far rougher dirt roads. The limitation is Tesla's ground clearance, leveled dirt road with no ruts, gullies, or washboards. You were on a road trip, nothing more. You failed to mention the drain from the AC, that is significant. Im all for electric but it's not ready, yet, for a real expediton.

[@JeremyTVOK]

@@OrangeCountyDog I have to agree. My Ford Fusion drives a road just like this to my house off the highway every day.

Loving this whole series. Does a great job showing what most people think an EV can't do. It's fun watching a Model 3 used as such a workhorse and not skip a beat.

@@OutofSpecMotoring i got a question? if you could go to canada would you do a road trip, from one end to the other of the trans-canada highway?

[@AbhijotSolanki]

I have to say Kyle, amazing music choice. It just took this series to the next level.

[@nickparry1720]

I stumbled upon this channel recently and went back to watch this road trip. Absolutely incredible. Looks like total blast! I love that this is all possible in an EV

[@solomongabert6776]

All the driving near Moab is so pretty!

[@leilaniderrartdesign9298]

Kyle and Alyssa, thanks so much for making these vlogs. I recently finally took my first road trip in my SR+ with my partner and two pups from Denver to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Your videos gave me both the information and confidence I needed. The absolute worst part of my trip was that stretch between Blanding and Page. I made the mistake of traveling it in the middle of the night, while it was pouring down rain, with jack rabbits and mice leaping in front of the car. Would not recommend. At least I was forced to keep my speed so low that range wasn't an issue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I was also inspired by those window shields you have for your dogs. I ended up just buying a roll of Reflectix insulation and cutting it to shape. Worked super well!

[@OutofSpecMotoring]

Great! Yes we saw a ton of jack rabbits as well. Lots of hard brakes to avoid running them over lol!

[@brandonanddavid5116]

I am loving this series! We sit down every episode drop and get excited to watch it! It’s so beautiful! You do such an amazing job and it helps to relieve our quarantine blues! Thank you thank you!

You silly non desert dwellers ;) here in Phoenix we have had over 50 days of over 110 degrees. Teslas are amazing. There have been days when my car was cooling itself in my garage. This summer I insulated my garage door and it made a difference

I was thinking you vidit in the winter that makes more sense.

[@thenar]

I really want to thank you for sharing your family Tesla adventure. It has been educational.

[@marcuss2956]

Another great video, editing is very well done. I've been to the Grand Canyon but never Moab, need to put that on my list. Keep up the great work.

[@OurTeslaModelXJourney]

Loved when you put the drone up in the air!

[@bretsomerhiser6373]

Love the series. Have been learning a lot about super chargers. Coming from driving a Bolt for the past year, just getting a MY, we are planning on a trip next summer. One suggestion, windshield cleaning. The bugs take away from the AMAZING cinematography. Excellent music choices and running commentary!

[@jeffmelodia2077]

Great to watch this with COVID keeping us home. Thank you.

[@mowcowbell]

Great segment of your trip. You really didn't have anything to worry about from those elk in the Kaibab Nat'l Forest. They were just being curious and checking you out. I've camped there before and other than it getting really cold at night, it was awesome! Pre-covid that area is usually full of campers taking advantage of free camping.

[@paulwinter9672]

Really enjoying the scenery, commentary etc beautiful. Thanks 🙂

[@kens97sto171]

Love the series, the scenery is absolutely epic. Utah and Colorado are so beautiful. If you guys end up running back through that area you definitely want to check out monument valley also.

[@bobdavis7192]

Hi Kyle, I'm a subscriber and I watch all your stuff, however, I must say I enjoy the road trips the best. The effort you take to stage certain (more entertaining) sections of road really makes your videos. Thanks for what you do!

I finally got to sit inside of a Model 3 and wow am I even more impressed with your packing skills. I'm a big guy and it was a tight fit but man was it comfortable. I thought the inside was bigger, but actually getting in there and it felt like I was in my buddy's camaro with more headroom lol.

Honestly people complain about doing road trips with Teslas electric vehicles because you have to plan out our route or what ever but … it looks like such a cool dope experience while your car is charging you can go and explore a little bit more

Great Video I stayed at the Grand hotel when I visited the Grand Canyon-of course there were no superchargers then!

I miss the Grand Canyon. Looks like it´s a little warmer on your trip. When we visited it in september on our Route 66 trip it was 32F. COOOOOOLD

[@jamespaul2587]

Thanks for sharing and taking us along on this awesome adventure! Alyssa missed her chance to do a spokesmodel pose by the "Extreme Heat Danger" sign! 🙂 one thing to consider would be some short videos on tips when travelling with dogs, such as the booties to keep their paws comfortable, car heat shields, portable canopy or beach shelter for rest stops, etc.

[@theoosalyssa1158]

Great idea! The booties were much needed in the heat and salt flats, one day we may get around to a Bleu and Ellie vlog 🐾

[@jamespaul2587]

That would be amazing Alyssa, but they would quickly become KZbin celebrities (they are awesome dogs) and you guys would have to produce even more videos each week! 🙂

[@Captain-Awesome]

I am new to your channel, when the cyber truck slots were available at 100.00 I picked up one of them. Watching your videos certainly highlights the range anxiety that seems to be a very real thing. I know your channel is about the EV experience but it seems like your running from charge to charge. It’s free or nearly free versus gas cars and that’s cool but it seems that it take a along time to charge at each stop. Thanks for taking us along on the ride and great pictures of the Grand Canyon.

[@loriD19]

Wow, I love your KZbin Chanel. How could u take the Death Valley heat? I love love how u map out your road trips, & locate charging stations. I have been wanting a Tesla since 2012-2013.....

Great vid and series guys.

[@OutofSpecMotoring]

Much appreciated!

[@beltrams]

I bet parking on some of San Francisco's side streets could generate that parking warning message too. In fact, San Francisco's inclines might have inspired Tesla to check parking inclines to begin with. There have been many runaway parked cars in that city.

Amazing trip. Was vacationing in DV this time last year and was wanting to rent a Tesla from Vegas. Staying a few nights in Parhump though, so lack of chargers put me off. know what to do next time though!

This was an amazing trip. Here in the UK the roads are not so long. I can almost drive my Model3 for half length of the country with just one cgarge. To follow your trip i have been using two screen. On one screen i have KZbin, and on the other the Supercharger Map from the Tesla site. One day will visit the USA and hire a Cybertruck and do what you have done.

[@beltrams]

I'm from the East Coast and I've repeatedly visited those desert parts of California in July. I love the weather extremes Earth can serve up. Out of Spec should drive Alaska's Dalton Highway this December! (At least as far as the lack of charging network up there will allow.)

[@stevesmith194327]

Looking at these Superchargers located in Nevada and Arizona makes me wonder why they aren't solar powered. Would be nice to have a lartge canopy over the chargers with solar panels!!

[@kens97sto171]

Probably cost versus benefit. I don't imagine they get enough cars to warrant the savings they would get from the solar panel cost. Whereas in Las Vegas first of all it's the first V3 supercharger I believe so sort of a image thing but also there's a lot of traffic in Vegas. Solar panels don't put out as much power as most people think. Especially when you compare it to what that vehicle is drawing at V3 speeds. If you were to cover your average house roof with solar panels you might get 20 kilowatts. They're pulling 250 KW

[@PLuKE06]

Dislike electric cars. Now, after watching 1 video of the Model Y, and now this! I think I need one in my life. This road trip is amazing, nothing like this in the UK. Keep more videos coming!

[@dea7hr0w]

I love your journey and the tour around the states. Truely the best. After your journey could you share how many miles completed on this journey, how many times supercharged, total cost, if any battery degradation, and what your current mileage is? While on this trip I know you have the performance model. Would you had used lrawd instead for the extra mileage? Did you need the extra power, besides the times you were joy riding?

[@theoosalyssa1158]

15,000 ish, we are well over 50K, free supercharging, and a bunch of super chargers. Avg 2-4 a day and it was a 2 month journey
