QUICK 550+ MILE MODEL Y FSD TRIP - RESETTING MY ROAD TRIP EXPERIENCE AFTER LIGHTNING ROAD TRIPS

EV Channels Review

This video documents a 550+ mile road trip from Charlotte to Atlanta in a 2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD, primarily utilizing Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta. The reviewer highlights the convenience and overall positive experience of FSD handling the majority of the driving, noting only a few minor interventions and one instance where FSD did not follow navigation precisely. Charging stops were efficient, with Supercharger speeds reaching up to 250kW and costs as low as 27 cents per kWh. The reviewer found the Model Y's seats more comfortable than those in the Ford F-150 Lightning and appreciated the car's quiet ride. However, a notable drawback mentioned was the absence of ventilated seats, a feature present in the Lightning. The trip also included a visit to the Mercedes-Benz Charging Hub and a stop at a Whataburger, offering mixed impressions on the food. Overall, the Model Y proved to be a capable road trip vehicle, with FSD enhancing the driving experience, though the lack of ventilated seats was a minor detractor.
