ROAD TRIP REVIEW WITH THE MODEL X

EV Channels Review

This video offers a detailed account of a road trip experience in a 2022 Tesla Model X Long Range. The reviewer highlights the necessity of planning for more frequent charging stops compared to refueling a gasoline car, noting that while the Model X has an EPA range of around 300 miles, real-world factors like temperature, weight, and terrain necessitate stops every couple of hours or at 40-50% state of charge. The reviewer found the Tesla Supercharging network to be reliable, convenient, and plentiful during their journey to Northern California, with no issues regarding availability or excessive wait times, even on a Sunday return trip. A significant portion of the review is dedicated to the Yoke steering wheel, which the reviewer grew to prefer, finding it intuitive and conducive to using Autopilot, though they noted an adjustment period, particularly with the horn placement. The reviewer also praised the ventilated seats as a must-have feature, regretting its absence in other Tesla models like the Model Y. While the trip was generally pleasant with ample space for passengers and luggage, the reviewer expressed surprise at the charging cost, finding it higher than anticipated, and hopes for future improvements in non-Tesla charging networks to boost EV adoption.
