MEET WALTER THE NEWF! TESLA MODEL 3 ROAD TRIP FROM FLORIDA BACK TO COLORADO - PART 1

EV Channels Review

This video documents the first leg of a road trip from Florida to Colorado in a 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance, accompanied by a new Newfoundland puppy named Walter. The reviewer highlights the car's suitability for long journeys, noting its efficiency and the convenience of the Supercharger network, despite a recurring issue with battery cooling valves affecting charging speeds. The narrative also touches upon the owner's experience with a Tesla Model Y, contrasting it with the Model 3. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to introducing Walter, discussing the decision to purchase from a breeder, and showcasing the 'dog mode' feature. The reviewer expresses frustration with Tesla's Trip Planner accuracy, which has become unreliable, forcing them to rely on manual calculations and bailout options. Despite some charging speed limitations due to battery temperature and a minor fan issue, the overall sentiment towards the Model 3 for road-tripping remains positive.
