On the note of hotel chargers...I wish the major hotel chains would realize that installing chargers at hotels would do a much better job of attracting EV drivers if one could actually plan a trip that depends on being able to get a full charge overnight. This is especially true when the hotel is located away from the interstate highway, deep in the middle of a charging desert, where the hotel charger might be the only charger around for a long way, and the nearest DC fast charger, over 100 miles away. Once you have to arrive at the hotel with extra energy just in case the hotel charger is down/occupied, the value of the hotel charger to the driver diminishes greatly.

I got myself a Tesla model 3 because of your channel , brilliant great car love it ....

This is the kind of videos I like and why I subscribed. Hope you’ll do more of these road trip videos. This is how I learned strategies of road trip charging

Thanks as always for a great video! You guys are the reason I bought a 22Model Y LR Tesla. So much fun to drive! 😀👍👍😀

Thanks guys! This was a treat. Yes, you convinced me I needed a Tesla in my life a few years ago. MYLR. Great car!

Perfect timing, grabbing popcorn for the Sunday :)

Alyssa so glad you are back. Started following you 4 plus years ago, traveling across the USA with the dogs and was so happy when you and Kyle moved to Fort Collins as I am your neighbor and hope some day to meet you guys.

Love your road trip videos and knowledge definitely helps everyone out

Loving the road trip. Got a m3 lr rwd new a month ago here in the uk. 1600 miles in and some amazing efficiency and range…….possible 400 miles plus!

The inverter smell conversation made me laugh! I have very similar conversations with my wife because she smells things that I can’t or wouldn’t hahaha I always enjoy these road trip videos.

Thx 4 sharing the road trip. I enjoyed watching.

Did a road trip in my SR+ earlier this year, Cincinnati to Ft Myers. 1087 miles. No charger failed and trip was well. Favorite charger on the way was actually a weird one. The London, KY superchargers are the best setup for both cars and towing EVs with nearly all pull through charging.

27:45 - The worst part about the Flagler EA location is when you roll into it at 11:15pm on a road trip, only to find that the gas station across the street closed at 11pm, and you have to go down the highway to the next truck stop to use the bathroom. And evidently there are now solar canopies at this location, but not upgraded dispensers.

Shoutout from Frederick, Colorado. I love your guys' videos, you're not afraid to nerd out with information.

Nice one! of course we can't wait for the next part.

Great to see some familiar charging stations. We do the Fort Collins to Columbia, MO trip at least 4 times each year. Interesting how the V3's have filled in between the V2's so now we do almost all V3's except for Colby.

I have to say, Dave and Katy Road trips, although less technical and informative, are more enjoyable and entertaining. Nice video Kyle and Alissa, ty

You two are hilarious. These are the BEST videos!

Very interesting sway bar change. I want to give this a try, in the pursuit of making my MYP more comfy.

Always enjoy the road trips. Thanks for taking out the M3. Took my 2018 LEMR to south Texas this year - no issues (had free SC miles to use). The only difference between my 'short range' car and my wife's long range would have been an extra quick stop on I-70 that hers could have skipped. But, as you say, short charging hops are quickest anyway and the LEMR small battery charges pretty quickly. Seems like we both missed the new V3 that has opened that helps to modernize that KS I-70 route.

My wife is always surprised at how quick we leave charging stations. The car is always ready before we are and the range is so good that we usually have to stop at least 1 time before the car does. I have a 2022 Model 3 LR with 18 inch wheels...currently states 332 miles at 100% and I have 26,842 miles on it.

Yall get so many view from me because i usually throw on a road trip ive already seen to fall asleep. Very relaxing

Beautifully relaxed delivery. Loved it

Really love the roadtip videos! Great to see how the 100k+ miles Model 3 goes. :)

We recently did CO to FL road-trip in 2022 Model 3 Performance too and here are some takeaways: - Wrapping handle with wet cloth works in 100F+ for sure - After charging for about 15 miles you get very high consumption, if that’s battery cooling it should be done with charger plugged in as much as possible to extend range - CO roads are the worst among all the states we been through - W/o Dog mode we wouldn’t have been able to take this road trip in any car - Trip planner became quite unstable in predicting battery percentage in last few months, we had legs where it was 20% off - Tesla needs IR-blocking light tint from factory on all glass, it’s silly that we have to run AC to fight what can be reflected - Autopilot needs manual override of speed limit, we had many miles in manual mode just because it guessed the speed limit wrong and there is not much we could do - Trip planner constantly routes us on slow 150kW chargers and vey high SOC instead of going lower than 20% and 250kW superchargers - The paint is soo weak, we have rock chips all over the car 😢 Otherwise it was great fun and totally comparable to gas cars

We just completed a drive from Ohio to Colorado and back, around 2600 miles total. The latest software update seems to have some weird quirks for navigation routing to superchargers. We saw it was preferring 150kW when there were 250's just around the corner (basically). But that being said it was a very easy trip. This is the third with our 2021 Model 3 LR and it now has around 53K miles. Edit: Just saw Limon, we hit the charger there twice. Helped a few people to use the bank of 250's since they are never labeled. Edit2: Phantom braking was a major issue for us through Kansas, between 15-20 incidents with it.

My wife and I bought our first EV, 2022 MYLR, in large part because I started watching Kyle and Alyssa road trip videos prior to the Colorado move. Thanks guys! Miss the Ellie and Bleu cameos.

I drove from Orlando to Colorado Springs a few months ago - taking the southern route (Florida Panhandle, Mobile, Louisiana, Dallas, Amarillo, Clayton, then up I-25. Easy trip as long as you aren't in a super rush. I really like the supercharger in Limon - the only issue is the higher speed chargers aren't well labeled - you just have to know based on the thickness of the cables which chargers are which.

You should go to the electrified garage since you're going to Florida and do a video on the coolant issue and EV maintenance.

Coolant issue?

I just wish Tesla would move to 800v charging. We've been road tripping our EV6 over the summer. We travelled to the beach a couple times, about 650 miles each way. It was the same trip each time so we learned the best and most reliable chargers. I used all 350kw EA chargers and our average stops were 12 minutes to continue our trip. There is a huge difference between 12 and 30 minutes when you have 3-4 stops. Using higher voltage and lower amperage makes sense to me. It seems the higher the voltage and the lower the amps, the less heat is generated in the battery. The public charging scene just sucks, we were lucky that our particular route was perfect. With Tesla having such a good charging network, if you got your cars down to 15 minute charging sessions, that would be insane.

Just started watching this and had to say I have a full set of Nokian Ones on order for my ‘21 M3 SR+, based on your recommendations. Getting my OE Michelins replaced after 37K miles. My appointment is in a couple of days. 👍🏼

For v2 vs v3, I use the labels. If you see something other than A or B, that group is v3. I'm sure I would eventually get a feel for the thickness of the cables. In July, a group of us took a trip in their new MYLR. We only had to wait for the car once in 4 days, and then only because we wanted to avoid charging in our destination city. I consider a reduced rate better than nothing.

In Jan 2020 when I bought my first Model 3, I had been watching a channel, Canadian guy with a white beard and a red Model 3. So I used his referral code. Never heard a word from him, no thanks, no mention, no nothing. I am not sure he is still around. Your courtesy in thanking the folks who have used your referral speaks very highly of you.

I can't wait for my third EV. 8 years and 200k+ miles into EV ownership and it's been amazing to see the progress and constant change since 2015. Both EVs bought for under $18k each used.

In regards to superchargers near the highway. I’ve seen some really awesome placement on the Ohio turnpike. They have super chargers inside the rest stops. I have done a few trips on it and it makes it feel like your not even driving an ev with how quick the stops are.

Started watching the Model 3 road trips on this channel back in 2020 just to better understand what I should expect while waiting for delivery of my own Model 3.

Kyle, have you ever removed the AC condenser for cleaning? Your M3P is a few years old, done a good amount of miles and would probably benefit from having all the crud, leaves and bugs that gets trapped between the condenser and radiator. You can expect far better AC performance and cooling as well as fans not having to spin up so much. 👍🏻

Hi, love your channel. Getting ready for our first non-commuting M3 trip shortly, so all these tips help. BTW, I don't know who does your "boogeying between the Superchargers" music towards the end of the video, but it sounds really good at 1.25 playback speed. 😀

Nice to see the trusty old Model 3 back in action! I wonder how much it would cost to get the coolant valve fixed now that it's out of warranty.

Do you have plans to get the coolant valve and the PTC heater issue fixed anytime soon? Really would like to see another heatpump Vs PTC challenge this winter, once your car is confirmed to be working 100%!

I really like your update with the model three its a fun experience to watch your road trip. I think those superchargers make a huge difference with an EV.

17:39 I think you mentioned this too in a previous video, but the V2 cables have a silver collar near the handle, the V3 cables do not.

I live in Europe, and if I hadn't just gotten a Model Y in June, I would've definitely ordered the Model 3 Highland during the weeks just before the unveiling, when it was listet at _the old price,_ while the October delivery date revealed it would actually be _the new model._ NA Model 3 buyers should also try getting the new model for the old price, by waiting for a similar delivery date gap preceding an official launch. Waiting for Juniper is only for those who really don't need a new car right now, because that refresh could be years in the future for all we know.

I missed these model 3 roadtrips!

Just starting to watch this video. Agree the Tesla Supercharger nav is getting very wonky. Only modification to my 22 Model 3 LR is that I put CC2s on the car and it has 52k miles now. On multiple trips it will start with 20-25% arrival and can fluctuate down to 4-5% arrival. I suspect that they are struggling with their algorithms now that there are so many more chargers and variations of the models (different packs, wheels, tires, etc.). My rough degregation is around 7% but I suspect it is less. Glad to see your 3 is still running at 126k.

Whooot!! OG out of spec motoring video!!

1:01:26 you guys are great people. Thank you for keeping these clean. Team effort!!

good job by alyssa for putting the holder back in place

Great to see the Tesla vs "other" EV chargers comparison. Honestly there is no true comparison, it's like the competition has given up.

@kyle Bjorn would love that gift. He is so funny to listen too on his road trips

I find it interesting that Kyle has the AC set at 68-72 F and Alissa is sitting with a blanket and pillow on her legs. Perhaps Kyle, you could try 76F and add a bit more range. I quite often see Kyle in the summertime wearing a hoodie.

Would love to know how much it would cost to fix your battery cooling issue. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

I've been watching Tesla install a new 12-stall location across from my office building. On Monday workers dug a trench at the Circle-K on Thomassville Rd/I-10 in Tallahassee FL. Tuesday and Wednesday they ran pipes/conduits. Thursday a flatbed truck and a crane showed up. The crane lowered a pair of 6-stall blocks onto the trench. Today they hooked everything up including the transformer. I suspect there's not much left to do aside from city inspection. Tesla has this down to a science.

It feels like forever since you did a road trip video w/ this car!

Great video, I'm considering getting MPP suspension for my 18 LR AWD with 79k since the suspension is hard as rocks right now and really detracts from driving enjoyment.

Just on the front of the video, can confirm, the road trip vids with your 2019 were the last push required for me ordering my 2021 (barely not a 2022) M3P. You are an advertiser for Tesla! hah!

I did a 6000 mile road trip and had 1 problem, it happened when I decided to take a short cut going to Capitan New Mexico, the problem was no superchargers in remote areas, but if I would of stayed on original Navigation there would not have been a problem.. I was able to use level 2 charger in Ruidoso but I had to stay an unplanned overnight stay..

The Full Service Rest Stops were more common when I was a kid and road tripping every summer on family vacations. They seemed to die out in the later 80s & 90s. Which is a shame, because they're so much more convenient than getting off the highway, finding a gas/charge station, and then finding food somewhere. I think the Full Service Rest Stops will make a huge comeback when EV's become more popular over the next 5-10 years. Also, on a side note, the Phantom Braking has become SO bad lately. It's always been bad, but has really amped up the frequency in my '19 M3P. I recently moved to Southern Central CO (Alamosa/Ft Garland area), and Highway 160 between Alamosa and Ft G is quite possibly THE worst road I've driven on for phantom braking. I had to do the drive yesterday, and I had at least a dozen instances of phantom braking over a 30 mile trip. It was insane.

Ok Kyle, my 2023 Ioniq 5 and 2020 Kia Soul EV could both be set to top charge at a schedule departure time on level 2 EVSE, I have yet to figure that out on my 2023 Tesla model Y long range, so I do what you do charge to 90% and then top charge just as I am getting ready and packing up to depart when we get up the next day. Wish Tesla could incorporate the top charge at scheduled departure time to minimize 100% charge standby time.

Etron across the southern route would have been an entertaining challenge. Across Mississippi isn't easy.

Kyle you did a florida to Colorado trip in the id 4 by yourself when you wanted to try out the pro .

just a thought how would you feel about an DC charging only car, with a provided portable charger that you plug in maybe integrated with a home battery system? it would save some weight and probably charge faster at home the charger would be pretty significant in price and size, (cooling etc) but the reality is most people don't have access to a decent plug anyway and, said charger could multiple vehicles and could be made to last also integrated directly with solar. I think this is what we need at every work place and store. DC slow charging!
