I feel like many of us early Tesla owners really enjoy the camaraderie chatting with other Tesla owners at super chargers. Early on every charge stop was like a cars and coffee get together.

[@chadwickwood9843]

Where all the cars are identical?

[@davidkendall2272]

Yep, totally agree. My wife and I did 8000 mile cross country trip in our 2012 MS in 2014 and it was epoch to interact with other MS owners and interested folks at Supercharging stops Things have changed now but those early days were very exciting!

[@aaronbounds1336]

Same. Love a good supercharger chat. Unfortunately we had the opportunity for an hour long chat while we waited to charge in an unusual charge line recently. Wilcox AZ is in a zone of 150 KW chargers in the sparsely populated SW region of the country. Would love if if they would put some 250KW chargers at each site, just a few, at each of the 150 KW locations. At one point the line was 15 cars deep. 😱

[@M1A1SteakSauce]

Honestly, I’ve become so reliant on autopilot, I don’t know if I could do a long drive like this without it, even with TACC. I hope it comes to the CT soon! Does it still have lane assist though if you start to drift even without autopilot?

[@daviddenley3512]

You might find a Megaphone fitted to your CyberTruck handy, it beats shouting trying to be heard! I've enjoyed your road trip and the other drivers all seemed to like the CyberTruck too! Many thanks for sharing.

[@Ittiz]

I know the trip down is always better, but for us I think this trip up video was better than the trip down video.

[@MikeInTheWoods]

Just for squits and giggles, I plugged in my 2016 Nissan Leaf to ABRP to see what this trip would look like. Leaf has a 30 kwh battery, but mine has 30% degradation so I have just over 20 kwh useable. The trip would take 44 charging stops, 24 hours worth of charging, and take a total of 59 hours lol. Some of those charging stops require the use of Level 2 since not enough Chademo chargers can be strung together on the route

[@DirtyTesla]

😂

[@MrGMawson2438]

Good afternoon

[@cupcakeapplesauce]

Great insights at the end

[@michaelfink64]

So funny that you still refer to your daughter as "GB". Takes me back to your early videos.

[@joan38]

26:00 I usually get a hotel around a supercharger and leave the cars plugged on the supercharger overnight. Most of the time it's less than 50% busy so no Idle fees.

[@scottmanley9430]

I don't let the Tesla plan my route or charging stops. I select charging stops to ensure V3 and for amenities, i.e., food stops as needed and our preferred hotels. I have the entire trip planned before I leave home, averaging 2 hours between charge/meal/hotel stops. At hotel stops, I drop the family off at the hotel and let them get settled in as I go off to charge for the next days first leg.

[@Dangerspeed862]

Wooooo! Part 2! I’ve been waiting for this! Also… 5:45 can you link the post for this?? I would like to see it😂

[@HansMilling]

You should do a full tour around the entire US, talking to people at supermarkets, chargers etc. Tesla should pay you to do that. Put QR code in the windows with links to your KZbin channel and your referral link, and it will pay off with even more subscribers and points.

[@tommckinney1489]

Love the video shot @time3:15

[@tonywildgrizzly4796]

Hello, thanks for the videos.... road trips are entertaining and informative. Quick question, does the Cybertruck come w/ any free supercharging at all??? Thanks.

[@scottmanley9430]

Having to stop and charge every now and then vs driving for 3-4 hours is a much more sane way to travel. It is also less physically and mentally exhausting. Same goes for the insane compulsion to "drive straight through" for 20-24 hours vs one or more over-nights at a comfortable hotel.

[@scottmanley9430]

On long trips, folks don't realize how mentally exhausting it is to constantly be paying attention to small lane deviations and how physically exhausting it is to be making small steering adjustments. Autopilot is a life-saver in this regard.

[@Ittiz]

I still haven't seen any, but none have been sold in the northeast yet.

Chris the 16 stall is really close to me I could almost walk there. What route did you go from ripely wv to Worthington superchargers. You always cut off that portion of the trip.

[@Fifty52Two]

I’m curious, which has been the better roadtripper for the family, Model Y, Model X or Cybertruck?

[@DirtyTesla]

We have not done a large family road trip in the Y, just the X and Cybertruck, and so far Cybertruck is our favorite (compared to legacy and refresh X)

[@carlagat1075]

Are GB and LB realize that you are referring to the them?? They're getting bigger. Your going to have to change their names to LG and BG pretty soon.

[@scottmanley9430]

The compulsion to arrive at a charge stop with minimal state of charge in order to reduce charge time is silly. The amount of time you save by arriving with 10% vs 20% is the time it takes to charge from 10% to 20%, i.e., a couple minutes. Psychologists refer to these types of compulsions as neurotic.

How much did you pay for this car?

[@NicholasDutko]

$99,990.

[@anthonydaxis1209]

You should've been more patient and given your kids the stop at Bucees. Kids know Bucees like they know Teslas. If you're going that great of a distance, why not give your kids that fun experience for at least that one stop? Why not give those people at Bucees a look also? Wouldn't that have been great visibility for the Cybertruck?

[@carlagat1075]

You know the part of the video where Chris says that they have 2 days to get back? 😂😂 Unless Elon starts paying people for advertising, I don't think anyone is going to take more time out to show off the car than they meet to if time doesn't permit.

[@anthonydaxis1209]

@@carlagat1075 One Bucees stop would not have made that much of a difference in the whole trip, and later in the video Chris admitted he didn't know why he was in such a hurry as they were well ahead of schedule. Likely he was tired of all the attention - but I think he should've put his kids first more in that instance as they were looking forward to stopping there. It's not about advertising for a product, but about sharing the experience of how a sustainable vehicle can be. I'm glad Elon doesn't pay corrupt MSM outlets for advertising, because that results in a better product for us. MSM talking heads or execs deserve absolutely none of our money, no more than a corrupt government does.

[@carlagat1075]

He did that on the way to Florida, Chris and Stephanie probably just wanted to go home. And They have subscribers telling him what he should have done on his vacation. They were nice enough to film as much as he did. Enjoy what he filmed and don't judge him on his decisions about what he should do with his kids.

[@AmishFan]

That screen is one hell of a fingerprint collector.

[@JB-ej2qy]

Basically 4 hours added to the trip vs a gas car. Reason being the super chargers are not right off the highway like gas stations.

[@rsteeb]

Charging while you dine adds zero time vs ICE tripping.

[@danabe3220]

How much did those multiple charging stops cost? Was it cheaper then buying gas? It certainly took more time then filling up with gas and you had to stop so often. Until Tesla can figure out this limited range issue don't expect mass adoption.

I have two girls - and what i explain to people is, if you have kids the supercharging doesn't add to the trip because you're stopping either way. And don't worry, even when they are teenagers they want to stop!

Great video. I think you should ask Tesla to reimburse you for your entire trip. You were a commercial for them every time you stopped, and occasionally even while driving down the highway. I was wondering if your phantom braking could be caused by dirty cameras? I think your comment about being like zoo animals was your best line on the trip.

Indeed disappointing charging cost. One of the reasons to get an EV is not to be gauged by high fuel prices. But this is a long debate and not the point to drag on. Great video as always. I had to speed it up as 1 hour is a bit long. Greetings from the Great White North.

Can Target just be put out of business!? I've maybe been in a Target once - and even better I wasn't the one spending any money. If I were to stop to charge and the only place at the location was a Target then I'd just wait in my vehicle. I had to chuckle when your one lil girl said she was going to buy herself something ... with your money! 🤣 Although I've not had an EV, at least yet... Just Tesla, I'd have to say a great starter vehicle would be the 3. Small family, a 3, Y or S. A lil bigger family, Y or X. A lil bigger yet family, Cybertruck. My own personal preference has changed. I'd get the 3 as my first EV as per cost unless I could afford more. If I could afford more then it'd be the Y or the Cybertruck. I recently thought of this question I wanted to ask you, Chris... Does the bed cover also lock when you lock the vehicle? It makes sense that it would especially because those buttons are right there.

It depends on the goal. Some like to go as fast as possible and unplug the car asap. For us, we usually just plug in, do whatever we want, and then leave if the car is ready which is almost every stop. Sometimes we are forced to wait for the car for a few minutes.
