TESLA MODEL 3 IS A ROAD TRIPPING BEAST! ROUND TRIP TO PARK CITY

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (Highland) proves itself as an exceptionally efficient road-tripping machine, even in challenging winter conditions and headwinds, achieving an impressive average of 4.5 miles per kWh. The reviewer highlights the car's capability for long distances with minimal charging stops, noting a 9-hour drive to Park City with only one 20-minute charging break. The new Nokian Surpass AS01 UHP All-Season tires are praised for maintaining and potentially improving efficiency while offering enhanced pothole protection, a significant benefit on rough Colorado roads. While the reviewer commends the car's overall performance and efficiency, a recurring issue is the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system's struggle with tar lines on the road, leading to erratic lane changes and a near-miss incident. The base model's sound system is noted as a minor drawback, lacking low-end fullness. Despite these points, the Model 3 is deemed a highly capable and efficient vehicle for extended journeys.
