2024 TESLA EV ROAD TRIP FROM VIRGINIA TO TEXAS SOME CHARGING ISSUES

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on an extensive road trip from Virginia to Texas in their 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range, documenting the journey primarily through Tesla Supercharger stops. The vehicle is praised for its efficiency, low operating costs, and overall comfort, with the reviewer highlighting the convenience of the Supercharger network and the car's reliability over nearly 30,000 miles. However, criticisms are raised regarding road noise and suspension, with the reviewer suggesting improvements in insulation and ride quality, even with the newer comfort suspension. A significant portion of the video details charging experiences, including a frustrating incident at a hotel with non-functional destination chargers, forcing a detour to a Supercharger. The reviewer also notes the impact of cold weather on range and charging speed, but generally finds the navigation and charging infrastructure to be effective, albeit with a desire for more V3 Superchargers in certain areas. The video concludes with the reviewer highly recommending the Model Y for road trips, emphasizing its value proposition, especially with current incentives.
