2023 TESLA MODEL Y ROAD TRIP ROANOKE TO GREENSBORO NC ON FSD - FOUND FREE CHARGING

EV Channels Review

The reviewer documents a road trip from Roanoke, Virginia to Greensboro, North Carolina in a 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range. The primary focus is the performance of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system on a mix of highway and winding mountain roads. The reviewer expresses significant satisfaction with FSD's capabilities, noting its ability to handle challenging terrain and traffic with minimal driver intervention, even comparing it favorably to systems in Cadillac and Rivian vehicles. Battery degradation is noted as minimal (less than 10% over 37,000 miles), and charging efficiency is praised. The reviewer also highlights the comfort suspension introduced in mid-2023 models and the overall positive ownership experience, concluding that they would readily purchase another Model Y, especially a refreshed version. A key positive takeaway is the successful utilization of free Level 2 chargers at the Greensboro airport.
