HERE'S WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE TO ROAD TRIP A TESLA MODEL Y, PLUS MAZDA MIATA & NISSAN KICKS REVIEWED!

EV Channels Review

The TFLtalk team road-tripped a Tesla Model Y Performance to assess its real-world range and charging experience. While the car's driving dynamics, comfort, and Autopilot were praised, the trip highlighted potential range anxiety, particularly in cold weather and with highway speeds impacting efficiency. The reviewer noted the Model Y's stated range was slightly optimistic compared to their actual experience, falling short of the EPA estimate on a 282-mile round trip. The charging experience at a Supercharger was described as painless and affordable, costing $10 for approximately 150 miles of range, though a $3 parking fee and difficulty locating the charger detracted from the overall convenience. The video also briefly reviewed the Nissan Kicks, criticizing its lack of AWD and performance, and the Volkswagen Atlas Basecamp, noting its appearance package doesn't add capability. The Mitsubishi Outlander and Eclipse Cross were also touched upon, with mixed reviews on styling and interior quality.
