TESLA MODEL S 2500 MILE ROADTRIP

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a 2500-mile road trip in a new Tesla Model S, from the UK to Bordeaux, France, via Geneva. The reviewer highlights the car's impressive performance and range, noting that the navigation system accurately predicted remaining battery levels. While the "camper mode" and sleeping in the car were functional, the experience was not luxurious. The reviewer details their specific configuration choices, opting for the most affordable "60" variant with upgraded seats, a solid roof (instead of panoramic), and the autopilot package, while foregoing options like air suspension and premium sound to manage costs. The autopilot system is praised for its utility on long journeys. The trip involved numerous Supercharger stops, with charging times generally being efficient, though the cost of coffee and tea along the way was noted to be significant. The reviewer also touches on minor issues like the toll tag needing to be held out the window and a brief visit to Tesla for a wiper adjustment. Overall, the Model S is presented as a capable and reliable long-distance cruiser, with the reviewer expressing satisfaction with their chosen specifications.
