2500MI ROAD TRIP IN MY NEW TESLA MODEL Y! CHARGING STILL SUCKS BUT THE REST WAS GREAT

EV Channels Review

Eric shares his extensive 2,750-mile road trip experience in his new Tesla Model Y Juniper, highlighting significant improvements in NVH and ride comfort compared to his 2022 model. He praises the quiet cabin, enhanced sound system, and comfortable suspension, even on rough Canadian roads. However, the charging experience was a major disappointment, with charging speeds consistently falling short of advertised rates and worse than his previous Model Y. He also encountered a recurring "gearbox fluid service required" alert, which Tesla roadside assistance initially dismissed but has since led to a service appointment. Despite the charging frustrations and the gearbox alert, Eric found the car to be more efficient, allowing for longer stretches between charges. The overall verdict is that while the Juniper is a vastly improved vehicle for daily driving and comfort, the charging infrastructure and performance remain a significant drawback for road-trippers, and potential buyers should be aware of possible lingering issues.
