I FINALLY WENT CAMPING IN MY TESLA MODEL Y AND THEY WOULDN'T LET ME CHARGE

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on an overnight camping trip in their Tesla Model Y, encountering an unexpected obstacle: a campsite that initially refused to allow EV charging. Despite this, the experience highlighted the Model Y's capabilities, particularly its refined suspension, precise steering, and quiet cabin, which the reviewer praises as significant improvements. The vehicle's performance on inclines, even at high elevations, is noted as superior to traditional gasoline cars, avoiding transmission issues. The reviewer also touches upon the utility of Tesla's FSD (supervised) for reducing driver fatigue on long journeys. The camping aspect focused on the comfort and practicality of the Snuuzu mattress, which fits perfectly and offers convenient inflation/deflation. A key takeaway was the surprising quietness of the cabin, even amidst heavy diesel traffic. The primary critique revolves around the vehicle's real-world range, with the reviewer expressing a desire for a consistent 350+ mile capability and faster charging speeds, despite acknowledging that current range is sufficient for most users and that charging is less of an issue for parents. Overall, the Model Y is recommended for its driving dynamics, technology, and value, with the range being the sole significant area for improvement.
