2023 TESLA MODEL Y ROAD TRIP FROM DALLAS TEXAS TO ROANOKE VIRGINIA FREEZING TEMPS

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from Dallas, Texas to Roanoke, Virginia in a 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range during cold January temperatures. The reviewer highlights the effectiveness of Tesla's Supercharger network and the vehicle's capability for long-distance travel, covering over 1,000 miles in two days. Key observations include the significant impact of cold weather on range and efficiency, with energy consumption notably higher than the lifetime average. The reviewer praises Full Self-Driving for making the journey smoother and less stressful, though it did disengage once due to heavy fog. Charging experiences were generally positive, with Superchargers performing reliably. An Electrify America stop in Little Rock provided faster charging than a busy Tesla Supercharger, though the reviewer noted issues with charging etiquette at the EA station. The reviewer concludes that Tesla vehicles remain the top choice for EV road trips due to their integrated navigation, reliable charging network, and overall comfort, despite the growing CCS network and the opening of Tesla's network to other EVs.
