EV Channels Review
This video documents a 1,200-mile road trip from North Carolina to Florida and back in a Tesla Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, accompanied by two dogs. The reviewer highlights the practicalities of traveling with pets, noting the need for longer charging stops and the importance of activating rear climate control for the dogs. The trip planner's charging predictions were consistently underestimated, requiring adjustments on the fly. Charging speeds varied, with some older V1 Superchargers proving slower than expected, particularly in heat. Despite these minor inconveniences, the reviewer emphasizes a relaxed travel style, prioritizing the dogs' comfort over maximizing charging speed. The return journey faced a significant headwind, impacting consumption and necessitating an additional stop. Ultimately, the Model 3 proved capable of handling the long-distance journey with family and pets, albeit with a more leisurely approach to charging.
