TESLA ROAD TRIP! WE HEAD TO MAINE IN OUR NEW MODEL S

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip to Maine in a Tesla Model S Refresh (2021). The reviewer's wife, Kathy, takes her first drive with the controversial yoke steering wheel, expressing initial apprehension but ultimately finding it less intimidating than expected, praising the improved visibility. Key highlights include a visit to the LL Bean flagship store and a seafood dinner with lobster. The reviewer discusses the car's range and efficiency, noting that the calculated range can be optimistic and depends on wheel size settings. Charging experiences at Tesla Superchargers are detailed, with a critique of V2 chargers that require power sharing, resulting in slower speeds compared to V3 or other networks like Electrify America. Despite minor complaints about the lack of massaging seats and the reach for the door handle, the overall sentiment towards the Model S is highly positive, emphasizing its comfort, range, and charging speed, making it feel like a capable 'car' rather than just an 'electric car'.
