SEMA 2024: DAY 2 & HEADING HOME! (CRAZY WIND & LOW EFFICIENCY!)

EV Channels Review

The video chronicles the second day of SEMA 2024, focusing on the creator's departure from Las Vegas and the drive back to Southern California in a Tesla Model Y. The review highlights various exhibits at SEMA, including the Faraday Future, Yakima rooftop tent, ARB Earth Camper, Ford Bronco, and a unique Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to the driving experience, particularly the challenges posed by strong winds and their impact on the Model Y's efficiency. The creator notes significantly lower than expected efficiency, with the vehicle's energy consumption reaching the low 400s Wh/mile, necessitating multiple charging stops. The M Hotel and Baker superchargers were used due to range anxiety, with the creator opting for partial charges to reach cheaper stations like Prim. The video concludes with a stop at Eddie World for snacks and a final charging session. Overall, the review emphasizes the impressive SEMA exhibits but underscores the real-world driving challenges of efficiency in adverse conditions.
