TESLA MODEL 3 VS TRAIN - WHO GETS THERE FIRST!?

EV Channels Review

This video pits a Tesla Model 3 against public transport, specifically an intercity train, for a long journey to the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The primary objective was to see if electric vehicles, despite their charging needs on long trips, could compete with or beat public transport in terms of time and cost. Due to train strikes, the public transport leg was hypothetical, with a stand-in ('Georgio') representing the train journey. The reviewer emphasizes driving the Tesla under normal speed limit conditions, not for economy or speed, to create a fair comparison. Despite initial assumptions that the train might be competitive, the Tesla ultimately arrived 12 minutes ahead of the hypothetical train arrival time. The reviewer concludes that electric vehicles are still superior to public transport for such journeys, even without factoring in the significant cost savings. The journey highlighted the complexities and potential delays of public transport, especially during strikes, and the relative convenience of the EV, despite a few charging stops.
