MODEL 3 HOLIDAY MADNESS TESLA ROAD TRIP: NORTH CAROLINA TO FLORIDA

EV Channels Review

This road trip video chronicles a journey in a Tesla Model 3 Performance from Raleigh, NC to Marco Island, FL during the holiday season. The primary challenges encountered were severe traffic congestion, numerous accidents, and unreliable Supercharger performance, particularly on I-95. The reviewer highlights the inefficiency of the Model 3 Performance compared to other trims, noting a consumption of 450 Wh/mile at 80 mph, which is considered high. Supercharger issues included V1 chargers being overloaded, requiring long waits, and some stations experiencing downtime. The video also touches on the limitations of Autopilot in poor visibility conditions. Despite the numerous setbacks, the reviewer emphasizes the importance of crowd-sourced information like PlugShare for navigating charging challenges and ultimately reaches the destination, albeit much later than anticipated.
