PART 2: THE FINALE! TESLA MODEL X PLAID 1,800 MILE ROAD TRIP FROM COLORADO TO CONNECTICUT

EV Channels Review

This video concludes a 1,800-mile road trip in a 2023 Tesla Model X Plaid from Colorado to Connecticut. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's comfort and spaciousness, making it a pleasant daily driver and road trip companion, though the absence of massaging seats is noted as a minor drawback compared to luxury competitors like the Mercedes EQS SUV. The navigation system is praised for its efficiency in planning charging stops, though the reviewer experiments with overriding its suggestions to test charging behavior at lower states of charge. A key discussion point revolves around the Model X Plaid's lane-changing behavior with standard Autopilot, where the vehicle tends to slow down significantly when initiating a lane change, a behavior the reviewer hopes Enhanced Autopilot might address. Charging performance is generally good, with the V3 Superchargers delivering up to 250kW, although there's a noted ramp-up period at lower states of charge. The trip covered 10 states, showcasing the practicality of the Model X Plaid for long-distance travel, with the reviewer ultimately satisfied with its performance despite minor critiques.
