MODEL X ROAD TRIP TO ARIZONA AND NEVADA

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip in a Tesla Model X Plaid to Arizona and Nevada, covering destinations like the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. The reviewer highlights the convenience of Tesla Superchargers but also encounters challenges, particularly in areas with limited charging infrastructure like Williams, Arizona. The necessity of a CCS adapter for non-Tesla chargers like Electrify America is emphasized, along with the higher costs associated with them. A notable point of contention is the charging etiquette of other EV owners, specifically an ID.4 that allegedly hogged a hotel charger. Despite some efficiency concerns due to cold weather and elevation, the reviewer praises the Model X's comfort and performance for long-distance travel. The video concludes with a detailed breakdown of trip costs, charging times, and efficiency, comparing EV costs to gasoline alternatives and reaffirming a preference for EV road trips.
