Tesla Model Y Performance - Road Trip With FSD

Tesla Model Y Performance - Road Trip With FSD

This video documents a road trip from Maryland to Florida in a 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance, with a heavy focus on the Full Self-Driving (FSD) capab... ilities. The reviewer extensively utilized Navigate on Autopilot, Auto Lane Change, and Auto Park, noting both the system's strengths and weaknesses, particularly in adverse weather conditions. While FSD generally performed adequately, the reviewer observed inconsistencies in lane change behavior, especially around slower traffic and large trucks, suggesting the 'Mad Max' setting is not as aggressive as the name implies and might be closer to an average setting. The video also provides valuable real-world charging data from various Supercharger locations along the route, noting increased utilization compared to the previous year. A key takeaway is the efficiency comparison: the Performance model consumed significantly more energy (over 300 Wh/mile) than the Long Range model on a similar trip, with speed and temperature being major contributing factors. The reviewer concludes that speed is the primary driver of consumption, even at moderate temperatures. less
Tesla Model Y 1 Year Review: Is It The Best Electric SUV?

Tesla Model Y 1 Year Review: Is It The Best Electric SUV?

After one year and nearly 23,000 miles, the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD proves to be a compelling electric SUV, though not without its flaws. The rev... iewer highlights the exhilarating performance and the convenience of never visiting a gas station as major draws. Low maintenance costs and a smooth, quiet driving experience, attributed to the EV powertrain and low center of gravity, are also significant positives. The Supercharger network is praised for its extensive reach and speed, significantly reducing range anxiety on road trips. The reviewer also appreciates the one-pedal driving and the integrated entertainment and security features like Netflix and Sentry Mode. However, criticisms include the thin paint quality prone to chipping, fogging pillar cameras in cold weather, and annoying rattles from interior trim and seat belts. A notable drawback is the lack of blind-spot indicators in the mirrors and the absence of Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Regenerative braking performance is also noted to be significantly reduced in colder temperatures, a disappointment compared to previous EVs owned. The reviewer advises caution regarding the Full Self-Driving package due to its high cost and incomplete feature set. Finally, the substantial price increases since purchase are a significant concern, especially given the long delivery wait times and the absence of expected features like ventilated seats. less
Tesla Wall Connector Installation DIY | EV Charger | Gen 3 with Hidden Wires

Tesla Wall Connector Installation DIY | EV Charger | Gen 3 with Hidden Wires

This video provides a comprehensive, step-by-step DIY guide for installing a Gen 3 Tesla Wall Connector with hidden wiring. The presenter clearly outl... ines the process, from removing the old NEMA 14-50 outlet and 50-amp breaker to installing the new 60-amp breaker and the wall connector itself. Key details such as using #6 THHN wire rated for 75 amps and ensuring the charger is configured for the correct amperage (48 amps for a 60-amp breaker) are emphasized. The presenter acknowledges their non-professional status and encourages viewer feedback, adding a layer of authenticity. While the installation involves some unexpected challenges with drywall and conduit fitting, the final result shows the charger successfully delivering the full 48 amps to a Tesla Model Y. The video includes a strong safety warning, advising viewers to hire a licensed electrician if they are uncomfortable with the process. Overall, it's a valuable resource for EV owners looking to perform this installation themselves, provided they have the necessary electrical knowledge and comfort level. less
