TESLA MODEL Y ROAD TRIP NYC TO ROSCOE: CAMP MODE ENERGY EFFICIENCY

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from NYC to Roscoe, NY, in a Tesla Model Y, focusing on EV camping and fly fishing. The reviewer highlights the car's efficiency, achieving 272 Wh/mile on the way up and maintaining good efficiency despite a slower pace. Upon arrival, the reviewer charged the vehicle to about 89% at a 150kW Supercharger. A key takeaway is the effectiveness of 'Camp Mode' with the AC turned off and set to low fan speed, resulting in a minimal battery drain of only 3-4% overnight. The reviewer also notes the convenience of EV road trips for accessing nature destinations without range anxiety, even managing to reach home with minimal battery charge by employing 'hyper-miling' techniques. The video also touches upon the utility of a radar detector for peace of mind on the road. Overall, the experience is presented as positive and feasible for EV owners seeking similar outdoor adventures.
