EV Channels Review

This video documents the first leg of an 1,800-mile road trip in a 2023 Tesla Model X Plaid from Colorado to Connecticut. The hosts, Dave and Kathy, detail their initial experiences leaving Colorado and navigating through Nebraska and Iowa. Key points include the vehicle's impressive initial range display (335 miles), the performance of the V2 and V3 Superchargers, and the challenges of range estimation at higher speeds (85 mph) and varying conditions. The review highlights the Model X's smooth ride and charging capabilities, though it notes efficiency concerns at higher speeds. The hosts also visit historical sites like the Pony Express Museum and discuss the car's battery management system recalibrating after unusual usage. The video touches on the scarcity of Teslas in rural areas and the ongoing rollout of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta, with a cautious outlook on its widespread adoption.
