EV Channels Review
This video chronicles a significant road trip from Colorado to California and back in a Tesla Model 3 Performance, highlighting both the vehicle's capabilities and its wear and tear after extensive use. The reviewer notes several minor issues that have emerged post-warranty, including a lifting spoiler, loose passenger seat controls, and a significantly cracked windshield, suggesting that while the car has held up well under '50,000 miles of pure abuse,' it's not without its flaws. Charging experiences varied, with a mix of fast V3 Supercharging and slower V2 and 120kW stations, often impacted by heat and sharing stalls. The narrative also includes a substantial segment on driving a Morgan Plus 4 and a Morgan 3-Wheeler along the California coast, offering a stark contrast in automotive experience. The Tesla's practicality is emphasized for its role in the longer stretches and dog transport, while the Morgans provide a more visceral, classic driving adventure.
