ROAD TRIP! I TAKE OUR FSD ENABLED TESLA MODEL Y TO VISIT QUAINT UPSTATE NY TOWNS

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip taken in a Tesla Model Y, focusing on the performance of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities on highways and scenic routes in upstate New York. The reviewer, Dave, highlights FSD's ability to autonomously select and change lanes, noting its effectiveness on highways, though he expresses reservations about its readiness for city driving, calling it a "party trick." He contrasts the Model Y experience with a previous Model 3 trip, finding FSD's highway performance particularly impressive with the "Hardware 4" system, tracking straighter at higher speeds. The review also touches upon the charging experience at a Tesla Magic Dock in Brewster, NY, detailing charging speeds and the functionality of the CCS adapter. Dave visits BMW and Ford dealerships, offering brief impressions of electric models like the i4, i5, and Mustang Mach-E, noting the significant inventory of Mach-Es at one Ford dealer. The trip includes stops in charming towns like Hudson and Rhinebeck, with a notable culinary experience at Aba's Falafel, which the reviewer found delicious but overwhelming in portion size. Overall, the video provides a practical look at FSD on a road trip, interspersed with dealership visits and local exploration.
