EDINBURGH TO LONDON NON-STOP IN AN ELECTRIC CAR? TESLA MODEL S LONG RANGE VS 420 MILES

EV Channels Review

The reviewer attempts a challenging non-stop road trip from Edinburgh to London in a Tesla Model S Long Range (2020 Raven model) with a stated goal of over 400 miles on a single charge. The journey, covering 421.1 miles in 7 hours and 53 minutes, was successfully completed with 4% battery remaining, demonstrating the car's impressive range capabilities under specific, efficient driving conditions. The reviewer highlights that achieving this required driving at lower speeds (55-60 mph), utilizing autopilot, and managing climate control carefully, though they did use heating and ventilation. Favorable conditions, including minimal wind and moderate temperatures, played a significant role. While acknowledging this isn't typical real-world driving, the video effectively showcases the potential of modern EVs for long distances. The reviewer praises the car's comfort and refinement over the long duration, noting the adaptive suspension and quiet ride. The primary takeaway is that long-distance EV travel is not a future concept but a present reality, with numerous charging opportunities readily available should a non-stop attempt not be desired.
