EV Channels Review
This video documents a road trip from Colorado to North Carolina in a Tesla Model Y Performance, alongside a Mustang Mach-E. The reviewer highlights the Model Y's strengths as a road trip vehicle, particularly its comfortable cruising at high speeds and the utility of Autopilot for long stretches. Charging speeds at V2 Superchargers are noted as decent, though occasionally requiring manual adjustments to optimize. The reviewer contrasts this with the Mustang Mach-E, which generally exhibits slower charging, especially after 80%, and can be less efficient. Despite some minor glitches like Sentry Mode activation and a brief charging fault on the Mach-E, both vehicles complete the journey. The reviewer expresses a strong preference for the Tesla's overall road trip experience due to its more consistent and faster charging capabilities, making it the more efficient choice for this cross-country drive.
