EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from Greensboro, NC to Cherokee, NC in a 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range. The reviewer highlights the car's impressive efficiency, noting consumption around 270-280 Wh/mile at highway speeds, and praises the functionality of the HVAC system and the overall driving experience, particularly with Full Self-Driving (FSD) engaged on the highway. A significant portion of the review focuses on the charging stops, including a V3 Supercharger at Stucky's in Old Fort, NC, and a V3/V2 mixed Supercharger at an outlet mall in Asheville, NC. The reviewer expresses confidence in Tesla's battery management, noting minimal drain when Sentry Mode is off. However, the review also touches on Tesla's known fit and finish issues, mentioning cabin noise and potential build quality concerns compared to luxury competitors like the Cadillac Lyriq. A notable incident involved a jarring FSD maneuver when exiting a highway, prompting the reviewer to take manual control. Despite this, the overall sentiment is positive, showcasing the Model Y's capability for longer journeys with convenient Supercharging access.
