ROAD TO SEMA BEHIND THE SCENES MODEL Y JUNIPER EFFICIENCY, FSD V14.1 TEST AND MY BIGGEST FAIL YET

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on a road trip to SEMA 2025 in a newly wrapped Tesla Model Y 'Juniper'. The video highlights the performance of FSD v14.1.4, noting its improved lane utilization and ability to avoid road debris. The reviewer also tests charging speeds, achieving the maximum 250kW at Victorville when below 20% SOC, but emphasizes that sustained speeds are more critical than peak rates, suggesting the new 225kW max speed for Standard trims is not a significant downgrade. A major personal fail is forgetting a suitcase, necessitating a shopping trip. The overall trip efficiency was 288.9 Wh/mile, impacted by crosswinds and inclines. The reviewer also touches on the increasing cost of the Vegas Loop and parking. The FSD's ability to automatically activate wipers and fluid for camera visibility is a surprising positive discovery.
