FIRST EV ROAD TRIP EXPERIENCE! A HIGH MILEAGE MODEL 3 ON AN INTERNATIONAL ADVENTURE | EPISODE 73

EV Channels Review

This episode details Dom's extensive first EV road trip experience, driving a Tesla Model 3 Performance from Colorado to Florida, traversing multiple states and countries. While Dom has prior experience writing about EVs, this marked his first long-distance journey in one. He found the Tesla Supercharger network incredibly easy to use, noting its simplicity compared to CCS connectors. Despite encountering two minor issues—one potentially user error with navigation and another with a slow Supercharger in Quebec—Dom emphasizes that he was never left stranded. The car's navigation system was generally reliable, though sometimes conservative with charge estimates. Dom praised the Model 3's comfortable seats and ergonomic design, which made the long hours of driving more bearable than in his previous Miata. He also noted the practicality of sleeping in the back seat, though an inflatable mattress proved less ideal than a thinner alternative. Overall, the experience was overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing his long-held appreciation for Tesla's ecosystem, though he expressed a desire for more range than the Performance trim offered.
