EV Channels Review
The reviewer embarked on a 605-mile road trip in a 2023 Tesla Model S Plaid, utilizing Tesla Superchargers and the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. The experience largely met expectations, with the reviewer finding EV road-tripping to be less miserable than anticipated. The FSD system, while described as "really, really good" and "robust automated cruise control," is emphasized as requiring constant supervision and not true "full self-driving." The reviewer noted its helpfulness in reducing fatigue but cautioned against the misconception of it being fully autonomous. Charging stops were efficient, with no queues at the Superchargers, and the total charging time was only 40 minutes over the 10-hour journey. The reviewer expressed satisfaction with the energy usage and overall trip experience, highlighting the convenience of empty charging stations during their weekday travel.
