2026 TESLA MODEL Y JUNIPER ROAD TRIP FROM DALLAS, TX TO TULSA, OK AND BACK IT'S GREAT

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on an extensive road trip from Dallas, TX to Tulsa, OK and back in a 2026 Tesla Model Y, dubbed the 'Juniper' refresh. The vehicle is praised for its exceptional efficiency, averaging well under 300 Wh/mile even in challenging windy conditions, which is noted as a significant improvement over previous Model Y generations. The reviewer highlights the comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and impressive sound system. Minor criticisms include the shifter stalk feeling somewhat cheap and the turn signal buttons on the steering wheel being impractical for a traditional steering setup. The FSD (Full Self-Driving) capability is lauded for its performance in heavy traffic and complex maneuvers. Charging at V4 Superchargers is tested, showing peak speeds around 257 kW and maintaining over 200 kW until around 27% state of charge, which the reviewer finds satisfactory, though suggests Tesla could improve charging curves. Overall, the reviewer is highly satisfied with the Model Y, recommending it as a great vehicle for road trips and daily driving.
