MODEL 3 MASSIVE SPONTANEOUS ROAD TRIP ACROSS THE COUNTRY

EV Channels Review

This video documents an impromptu cross-country road trip from North Carolina to Colorado in a brand-new Tesla Model 3 Performance. The reviewer highlights the spontaneous nature of the trip, emphasizing the lack of planning and the inclusion of dogs. Key takeaways include the vehicle's performance capabilities, but also its significantly lower efficiency compared to previous RWD models, especially in colder weather and mountainous terrain, leading to more frequent charging stops than initially anticipated. Charging speeds were generally good, though some minor connection issues and a few non-functional chargers were encountered. The reviewer also notes a bug with Autopilot in software version 12.1, which was expected to be resolved with an update. Despite the efficiency challenges and minor inconveniences, the trip was successfully completed, showcasing the practicality of the Model 3 for long-distance travel, even with pets.
