ROAD TRIP WITH THE MODEL X PLAID ON MOTHERS DAY

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip to Las Vegas in a Tesla Model X Plaid, focusing on the practicalities of charging and daily state-of-charge (SoC) loss. The reviewer highlights a significant daily parked SoC loss of 4-6%, advising viewers to account for this. Charging experiences were generally positive, with Superchargers being accessible and fast, though the reviewer notes Tesla's rates may have increased. The trip included visits to popular Vegas attractions like the Sphere, Bellagio, Red Rock Canyon, and Hoover Dam, interspersed with meals and casino visits. A notable issue was a persistent humming noise in one hotel room, leading to a room change. The reviewer also touches on the convenience of EV charging while engaging in other activities, such as visiting casinos or shopping. Overall, the video provides a realistic look at EV road-tripping, emphasizing planning for charging and managing energy consumption, particularly the often-overlooked parked drain.
