VEGAS SPRING BREAK: ROAD TRIP IN A MODEL X!

EV Channels Review

This video documents a family road trip to Las Vegas in a Tesla Model X, coinciding with the children's spring break. The reviewer details the journey, including stops at the Barstow outlets for food and a preview of the under-construction Tesla Supercharger station, noting the presence of Rivian charging stations with trailer parking. The trip to Las Vegas involved staying at the MGM Grand and experiencing attractions like Cirque du Soleil's 'KA' and the Bellagio Conservatory. A key observation was the overnight state of charge loss, dropping 7% while parked. Data analysis reveals 465 miles driven with 167 kWh used, resulting in 360 Wh/mile. Notably, the reviewer discovered the acceleration mode had been set to 'Insane Mode' for most of the trip, suspecting this impacted efficiency, as switching to 'Sport Mode' on the return journey led to a lower Wh/mile despite driving further. The video also touches on the ongoing development of charging infrastructure and a sighting of a Hyundai Kona EV.
