THIS CROSS COUNTRY TRIP DID NOT GO AS PLANNED! TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a cross-country trip in a Tesla Model 3 Performance from Fremont, California, to Raleigh, North Carolina, which was fraught with unexpected challenges. The journey highlighted the Model 3 Performance's capabilities but also exposed vulnerabilities, particularly with tire issues and the reliability of older Supercharger infrastructure. The reviewer experienced a significant tire blowout on Route 66, necessitating a tow and tire replacement in Flagstaff, which was handled efficiently by Tesla roadside assistance. The trip also underscored the need for more V3 Superchargers, as older V2 units proved slow and prone to overheating in desert conditions. Despite these setbacks, the reviewer managed to navigate the route using a combination of Superchargers and CHAdeMO stations, emphasizing the importance of planning and adaptability. The video concludes with the reviewer nearing home, reflecting on the adventure and the overall performance of the vehicle and charging network.
