- Tesla Model 3 Road Trip - Manchester to Cornwall (RANGE ANXIETY?)
On this holiday road trip, I take my Tesla Model 3 Long Range 2021 Made in China model on a 900-mile road trip from Manchester to St Ives in Cornwall.
NEW video - I drove the same journey as this one year on... how does the Tesla do:
• Tesla Model 3 - Manche...
In this video, we'll explore parts of Cornwall and see how easy it is to use the Tesla for a road trip and charge along the way.
I don't have a home Tesla Charger so I'll be using public chargers for my Model 3 including pod-point and Tesla Superchargers.
We'll also look at how much this road trip costs in the Tesla Model 3, breaking down each step in terms of time and cost.
Range Anxiety? Maybe!

Nice video. I've had a Tesla for more than 5 years and have done quite a few longer trips like Montpellier in S. France. Planning is important but actually what I find now is that its the destinations that are key. Stopping overnight in France on the way down is always somewhere with a Tesla destination charger. Overnight you get a full battery. Same applies to the holiday accommodation. As long as you can plug in even at domestic plug charging rates (circa 7 to 8 miles range per hour) it ensures you get roughly 70+ miles added to start the next day throughout the holiday. The supercharger network then handles the rest of the en-route charging requirements easily as you found. Lastly having charging at home is important to cut journey times back as you only need to get there with 10 to 15 % charge before plugging in and again letting the car do its thing overnight. Unfortunately at present despite being tempted by other EV models its still only Tesla that have the charging infrastructure to make everyday usage a viable option. Other manufacturers need to pull their fingers out.

I've ordered a M3 LR and expect delivery before we take our holiday from Norwich to Devon, so seeing your journey really does showcase range anxiety shouldn't be a thing, even with small hiccups. That is why i went with the Tesla, the range is holds is beyond say the polestar coupled with the supercharger network just gives you confidence to travel long distances. Keep up the videos :)

We have a LR MY we just drove our first long trip from Toronto to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Stated out with a little range anxiety because of the bad cold winter weather. That quickly evaporated when we realized the car was doing an excellent job of guiding us from supercharger to supercharger at the same time adjust as needed. It also was charging very efficiently by only charging what was needed to get to the next calculated charging stop. Charging ranged from 35 minutes to as low as 8 minutes. Initially we were using a lot of battery due to cold and heavy rains. As we went further South and the weather warmed up the range was excellent at 70mph (150 to 160watts/km) charging needs that were calculated reflected the increased range. Bottom line; enter final destination and any stopovers and follow on screen instructions. It really is that simple!! This was a two day drive with hotel stopover it is amazing!!

We stayed with friends in Cornwall. Thanks so much for sharing.

Before the Tesla I had a Nissan Leaf for 5 years and range anxiety was part of owning that vehicle. There are some other benefits to owning a tesla. * No servicing required! , * No oil changes, * you never smell of diesel, * you probably wont ever have to replace the brake pads, * there is roughly 10 times less chance of being involved in a fatal or serious injury crash.

Great video, highlighting the lack of charge points around Cornwall. The Eden Project has chargers available, but not a lot of the smaller attractions like Heligan, as you found out. As a local, I can tell you used your satnav instead of the signposted route to Heligan which meant the smaller roads, so for anyone watching, there is a larger road (it at least has white lines down the centre). We are wanting to go electric, and currently drive these little lanes in a big Audi A6. You get used to driving into greenery to avoid tractors. There's a POD charging point in Mevagissey carpark now too.

Amazing video. Love the production quality and the information. So many interesting places I'd love to visit in the UK. (I sadly haven't left the US.) I hope I can own a Tesla some day. The thought of putting on auto-pilot in annoying construction/accident driving situations sounds so nice. I got a killer deal on a 2015 Leaf so I'm enjoying EV driving a ton. Here, it's free to use the chargers (only one supercharger in town and you might have to call the 1-800 number to get it reset) so it's just a huge shock to just think I can drive around for free. My previous cars were about 15 MPG (about 6.4 km/L) and had regular mechanical issues, plus the usual stuff like oil changes. What a difference. I imagine upgrading to a Tesla will be a huge boost, too--not just the features, but the range. I get about 80 miles on a full charge (currently testing what it actually is with a trip odometer but I suspect with cold weather it's more like 60-70). I don't really get much range anxiety because I overly plan on trips and I mostly just do city driving, so being about a mile from a supercharger means having 10 miles left isn't that scary. I'm also lucky enough to have a level 1 charger (takes about 3 or 4 hours to charge full) only a few blocks walk from work. Things can happen though, like in your video having a place shut down with a blocked off charger. Good to always be wary and not let it get too low.
