Tesla Model Y 400 Mile Road Trip to Tacoma, WA - Day 14 of 30 | S3:E22

[@bryanhauer]

Buy Hidden Trunk Fridge for Model Y from Tlyard: shrsl.com/4d7ui (Use promo code BRYANHAUER to save 25%) Pro Tip: Actually put it about 5º colder than you want. I normally want mine around 37ºF so I set mine to 32º and it keeps it nice and cold inside. //TESLA REFERRAL PROGRAM: Support my channel and get up to $2000 off your purchase, plus 3 free months of Supercharging and FSD Supervised by using my link when buying your Tesla that delivers by December 31, 2024: ts.la/bryan62838

Hi Bryan, do you know if the Hidden Trunk Fridge works for the Model 3 as well?

[@bryanhauer]

It’s just Model Y unfortunately.

[@lindanelson3092]

Is there a basic on/off button for when I’m not using? Looks like a great product!!

[@bryanhauer]

Yep. Same button I held for 3 seconds to turn on will turn it off so no need to remove to unplug. I love how it’s out of the way and doesn’t take up any extra room. It’s obviously not as big as a normal cooler so is best for drinks, sandwiches, fruit, smaller items.

Continue to like your vids. Thinking about the fridge. I currently use a 21 Liter fridge that sits in but this one looks interesting. I typically camp with two people (multiple nights). Fridges tend get moisture and other items in them. How hard is it to clean and dry? Will it need to be unscrewed for good cleaning?

[@christinaforsythe1938]

I was just talking with my neighbors today about how when I moved here (30 years ago) half the cars were Subarus and now half the cars (in the Seattle area) are EVs. It's fun to see you driving and charging places I go. Someday, you'll have to hit the peninsula! Looking forward to see your trip to Rainier (I think you said that's the one place in WA you stopped). Hope you're driving down the Oregon coast! If so, I hope you stopped at Ecola State Park where they filmed some of the Goonies movie! The coast is so beautiful and I'm in love with the sea stacks. Also hoping you're stopping in the Redwoods in CA.

[@bryanhauer]

Let's just say I will be taking another trip out there later this summer or next year as there are so many places I didn't get to go as I was a bit pressed for time. It was gorgeous though 😀

[@DanteDeGraaf]

Good vid, Welcome to Washington. I took delivery of my MYLR in Tacoma. Thanks for the heads up on the fridge. Putting that on the list.

[@bryanhauer]

Thanks! First time up in the area and really loved it. Yeah, the fridge is great! 👍

[@andrewjudware1491]

Look forward to these week after week! Love my model Y and can’t wait to start taking road trips like these!

[@bryanhauer]

Right on! I appreciate you watching 😀 Let me know when you do end up heading out on a trip as I'm interested to hear how it goes.

[@BlaineL]

Good choice with Auburn. I did the same a couple of times with a rental between different Camus/Port Orchid trips when I travel up from SoCal! 👍

[@bryanhauer]

Thanks Blaine 👍🏻

[@EVLodge]

Just subscribed this week and caught up. Anxiously awaiting the next set of videos! Safe travels… ⚡️

[@bryanhauer]

Awesome! Thank you, Mike! Getting through some editing, but should have new ones up early this week 😀

[@vlad2838]

The fridge looks really intriguing-if it’s anything like the Lectric Bike, it’s going to be a winner!

[@bryanhauer]

I really like it! It's not a total replacement for a larger fridge for long trips with multiple people, but for a weekend camping trip or daily use of drinks, sandwiches, lunches, yogurt, kids snacks, small items like that... it's fantastic! I love how it's so out of the way. My only suggestion is if you bring meat, just put it in ziplock bags to reduce size as large containers won't fit well. It's surpassed my expectations 👍🏻

[@deborahchapman244]

Hey Bryan!! You're almost there. Are you going to switch fridges now? It looks pretty awesome. Want to be sure I really need one before I invest. I really really value your content. Can't wait until your visit to Exped, you are clearly excited for this. Thanks for the awesome content, just one thing? Can you please clean the windshield ??? 🤣🤣😆😆😘

[@bryanhauer]

haha 🤣 I clean it and an hour later it's covered again 🤷‍♂️ As for the fridge... I love it, but it's best used for drinks and small items like sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, condiments etc... You could use it for meat as well, but you'll need to transfer it into a ziplock bag as there's not enough room for large packages and you just have to be ok with having to take a few things out to access other things. It's great though since it's out of the way. I won't necessarily switch as I like having a larger fridge for long trips on the road, but for short trips (a few days) or daily use for drinks, small groceries, lunches, kids snacks... I think it's fantastic. I'll likely use it for daily use and then take a larger one along as well when camping for more than a week. For most people though that will only camp a few days at a time at most... it's awesome! Very excited for the EXPED video Sunday. It was fun! They're a great group of outdoor enthusiasts and was just a fun moment for the channel 😀

[@ritacristobal1285]

Hi Bryan. I noticed that you are using now the oupes? Do you find it better now than jackery? Thanks again.

[@bryanhauer]

Performance wise they're about the same. Both are fantastic! The OUPES uses Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry in their batteries which means it gets 3500 lifecycles (0-100%) while the Jackery uses Lithium-Ion and gets 500. That's fully draining the battery and recharging it. For most, that won't be an issue with either option. Again, performance on both is about the same, but the main reason I'd suggest the OUPES is because it's about 35% less expensive. If you do end up getting an OUPES, please use my link: OUPES 1800 Watt Solar Powered Generator: shrsl.com/42ang

[@ritacristobal1285]

@@bryanhauer will do and thank you so much. I bought the jackery per your recommendation but i need i more and thinking if i will buy another jackery or oupes. Thanks again for the reply and will use your link. Thanks a lot.

[@bryanhauer]

@@ritacristobal1285 If you've already bought the Jackery I'd stick with that as it's great!

[@HernandezHitTheRoad]

You should come to southern California :)

[@bryanhauer]

I did a quick trip there not long ago, but do hope to go back sometime soon as that trip was just a weekend getaway to SD. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZmZanSof915n6c

[@HernandezHitTheRoad]

@@bryanhauer a lot of awesome tesla superchargers down here and alot of nice places to camp 🏕️:)

[@GregySVK]

Hey. Thanks for another video! Too bad that fridge isn't available in Europe. It looks good 👌 Bryan what about your trip to Europe? 😊

[@bryanhauer]

Yep, wish they shipped worldwide, but for now it's only available in the US. I'll update you guys when that changes. As for Europe... still hoping to again later this summer or fall, but enjoying spending the summer in Minnesota with my family 😀 Will keep you posted on if I book anything. Would love to have some meetups in a few locations around Europe.

[@bryanhauer]

Update: I asked the company, Tlyard, if international viewers could order and they replied that they can take international orders, but delivery will take 25-30 days because they can’t ship this item by air. If you are interested they said they will create a link for you to order. Please let me know and I'll get in touch with you via email.

[@GregySVK]

@@bryanhauer thanks man, that's cool. I'll pass for now, maybe next year. Thank you! Any news regarding your Europe trip? 😊

[@karenamackenzie]

Any chance this company is working on a fridge for the Model 3? This looks EXACTLY like what I need, but don’t think the Model Y and Model 3 dimensions are the same!

[@bryanhauer]

Unfortunately they don't currently offer any fridge's for the Model 3 and yes this one only fits the Model Y. I'll be sure to update you if that changes. You might check out this one I did a review on and use in the sub-trunk: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g369kqSvlNZ6kM0si=bJ5jjeMvbtegSvBw

[@karenamackenzie]

@@bryanhauer thanks very much! I use my sub trunk for other things, but may have to change strategies- my current frunk setup in AZ in 115 degree heat has been no bueno this summer! ☀️

[@JoseDiaz-f7o]

Hey Bryan. Have you thought about subscribing to Teslas FSD or is the autopilot sufficient?

[@bryanhauer]

I don’t think it’s worth it at all. I may try it for a few months as I’ve gotten quite a few referral points through Tesla, but I’d never pay for it in its current state. That seems to be the general consensus among other KZbinr’s as well. I’m hopeful it’ll really improve over the next couple years.

[@JoseDiaz-f7o]

@@bryanhauer I use FSD myself and it needs a lot of work. I haven’t cancelled because I heard a new update should be out soon. I’m hopeful the new update fixes many issues.

[@thefish5861]

@@JoseDiaz-f7oI have bought FSD three times now. Every update gets me a little excited, but I’m over it now. Call me a major skeptic. I did not buy it on the new Model X I just bought. I actually don’t think it will ever be good enough, and I realized I don’t even want my car driving me around town. Autopilot on the interstate is very useful, though.

[@tech-dad]

I got FSD for $10K in 2021. Some buyer’s remorse but not a whole lot.

[@bryanhauer]

100% agree!

[@stevengiannakopoulos326]

Do you carry a spare tire with you on all these trips? Curious.

[@bryanhauer]

I don't just cause it's so limited on space, but in cities you can use Tesla road side service and I also have a AAA Premier membership that gives one 200 mile tow per year and two 100 mile tows. I also have the official Tesla tire repair kit + sealant and did have to use it once and worked great.

[@goldviper5280]

Could you tell us what the cost of hotels are. It would help us with an estimate of what to expect heading down the road. Thanks for another great video.

[@bryanhauer]

You bet! Will be putting that in new ones. This one was $160/night. I normally try to stick to around $100 or less, but am ok going over in downtown city centers.

[@lesterng5748]

Cost per kilowatt in Oregon and Washington looks to be petty cheap

[@bryanhauer]

Yeah, it was. I remember driving through Wyoming and being able to charge up for like $8. Some of those western states(besides California) are pretty cheap.

[@stevevergenz7824]

It looks like they only offer the promo code discount for a limited time. It didn't work for me, so I sent the company a message asking what I was doing wrong. Their response was, "the event is over, then the code change to normal.". ☹️

[@bryanhauer]

Are you referring to the Tlyard fridge? If so, please try again. I just tested it and tried promo code BRYANHAUER and it deducted $104 (25%). (Sounds like you figured it out 👍🏻)

[@stevevergenz7824]

@@bryanhauer yeah, that's the code I used. I even tried it different ways (caps, all caps, no caps etc). Thanks, I'll try it again right now. Thank you!

RIP Bryan fell to his death on his latest trip and there will be no more updates
