MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE ROAD TRIP UP THE ENTIRE BREADTH OF THE USA - LOUISIANA TO NORTH DAKOTA

EV Channels Review

This extensive road trip video follows the Out of Spec Motoring team as they traverse the USA in a Tesla Model 3 Performance, from Louisiana to North Dakota. The review highlights the car's impressive efficiency, averaging 394 Wh/mile even with a roof box and at highway speeds, and its capability for long-distance travel. Challenges encountered included slow charging speeds at older V2 Superchargers, particularly in hot weather, requiring creative solutions like using wet rags on handles. The video also showcases the team's adventurous spirit, camping in various locations and exploring off-the-beaten-path spots. While the Model 3 Performance proves adept at covering vast distances, the reliance on Supercharger infrastructure and the occasional slow charging speeds are noted drawbacks. The narrative emphasizes the practicalities of EV road-tripping, including managing charging stops, battery management, and the evolving charging landscape with new V3 Superchargers and public CCS chargers.
