This video documents a road trip from Colorado to Dallas, Texas, in a 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance, highlighting the challenges of long-distance EV travel. The reviewer emphasizes the need for careful speed management and route planning to overcome significant headwinds and stretches with limited charging infrastructure. Key takeaways include the car's ability to reach its destination with zero percent charge through meticulous planning, the importance of pre-conditioning the battery in cold weather, and the effectiveness of the Modern Spare tire. While the Model 3 Performance proved capable, the journey underscored the current limitations of charging availability on certain routes. The video also briefly introduces the Kandi K27 and K23, noting the K27's extremely low price point and its suitability as a city car rather than a highway vehicle.
