As a Tesla Model 3 owner, I think you missed out telling viewers how much it cost at each of those charging stations. That metric would definitely change their perspective of a trip that cost another 2-3 additional hours. Also, stopping at these places, along with FSD, can really take stress and tension out of your drive which most people don't realize. I went to ATL this weekend, where stress is horrible in that traffic. But just letting Autopilot handle it took my stress level down so much. I stayed in my lane and if anyone jumped in front the car handled it better than I would. And most people don't realize how long they stop at a store normally, bathroom and purchasing items can take 10-15 mins easy. And last thing I would like to contribute, mention all the things Tesla provides for entertainment in the vehicle while you wait. My 13 yr old son and I stayed at a supercharging playing the racing game and forgot how quick it felt. Several games and we were surprised we had to stop playing to disconnect from charger. Along with KZread, Netflix, etc being available.

You also need to understand the amount of time you save from a daily commute/driving around town perspective if you are charging at home on a normal basis. I was wasting 15-45 minutes a week in going to, and then fueling, my ICE vehicles. With my Tesla that entirely goes away. 3 additional hours on occasion vs getting 15-45 minutes/week back is a major net positive for the EV world.

Awesome video. I have a few things to add. Here are a couple road trip tips to keep in mind with a Tesla. It is very similar to road tripping in a gas car and there are things you still need to do or make sure you have and have in place before you get going. And this is even more true if the road trip is a long one. - Make sure your tires are good to go with tread and are inflated properly - Make sure you have an air inflator - Make sure you have a good and bright LED flashlight - Make sure you have a comprehensive roadside emergency kit - Make sure you have a tire repair kit or Modern Spare tire and jack - Make sure you keep a first aid kit in the car - Make sure you have jack pucks in case you need roadside assistance or it gets and worked on at a shop - Make sure you have a travel charger and adapters as well as your included J1772 adapter - Consider buying a CCS to NACS adapter (not really needed in the future) - Make sure you have filled up the wiper fluid - Make sure you take wiper fluid in a bottle and a squeegee - Bring some saved grocery bags for trash or just bring a couple trash bags (I keep a couple in the sub trunk) - Depending on how long the road trip is, bring a cooler with ice packs to keep food and drinks cold or consider getting a plug-in cooler - Make sure you have some microfiber clots and unscented baby wipes (for spills and seat cleaning) - Consider bringing a small handled battery operated or plugin vaccum - When navigating to your destination, consider instead of stopping for long charging periods, charge enough to get you to the next charger to avoid waiting. Additionally, try navigating to as many 250kw chargers along your route and filter out the 150kw chargers. This will shortened your charge time. If you think you want to get to the next spot and stop to eat and take a break then a 150kw charger might be a good option. NOTE: While I have never done this, I think you can also lower your amperage at a 250kw charger in case you want to take a longer break. This might allow you to get something to eat and relax a little longer if you don't mind. But I wouldn't want to hog a charger just to do that but it is a viable option if the car is capable of adjusting the power intake at a supercharger. Again, wanting to be curteous to other drivers it might just be better to go to a 150kw station.

A side benefit of the charging stops is getting out of the seat and exercising/stretching. It's unhealthy to sit for more than 2-3 hours at a time (blood clots, for instance). Plus, it's good for your head. We drive from Ohio to southern Florida routinely in a long range M3 even though we have a nice German SUV. Even with the stops, the Tesla is a much better driving experience for both driver and passenger.

Of the 14 charging stops/locations, only one had nothing but chargers; it was isolated, but it would be difficult for anyone but a Tesla owner to know that it was there (I always carry a handgun on road trips any way)!

You are correct, it’s a lot easier no a days with almost no worries

I assume the app/path thing takes into account the charge slowdown that begins around 80% of current 100% capacity. Does it try to balance movement and charge? Like, in a larger city, you might be able to charge "here" when you're at 35% charge but, if you drove another 30 miles, you could hit another supercharger over "there" at 25% charge. Which would it be likely to choose? And what about when you have to go too far between Tesla superchargers but you might pass some CCS or similar providing 125 or 150KW? Is it as good handling/noting "competitor" chargers? Finally (sorry), how many KW are transferred per minute at a Tesla SC? Or are they even that fast? Is it minutes per KW?

I keep a full size tire with rim in my trunk on trips. I dont pack much so my bags can go in frunk also.

I find half the time the tesla charges to fast to order and eat food. I have to move it alot to avoid idle fees. I find supercharger hopping tedious. If rather get food and a good charge and skip chargers when I can. Not always though and I know the value of a fast charge and smaller stops. I try and find that best balance.

Enjoyed your Tesla trip charging information. Great camera work too. At one point I was interested in the Ford Lightning until they only offered an 80K version. I have been driving a Kia Rio and what I spend to get me around plus the cost of the car itself, doesn't make sense to go electric. At least watching your experience on charging helped me understand how it would go if I owned an electric vehicle. I read Ford is going to add Tesla charging stations as alternate charging stations to their electric cars. I wonder how that will go on long trips when more alternate brands of electric cars are looking to charge their electric cars at Tesla charging stations.

Although it is very easy to just let Tesla plan the trip, I usually modify it. Since all Tesla SC are shown along the route, I consider stopping only at V3 SC. Second, since Tesla shows you nearby facilities and distances, I plan a charging stop around lunch breaks; since it takes time to eat lunch, by the time I am ready to leave, the car has enough charge to possibly skip a stop. Last, I like to also use ABRP since it is easier to fine tune a trip.

One thing that is important on a road trip is making sure all your servicing is up to date, as you mentioned.

Something that most people don’t think about is charging stops give you a break from driving. I see the forced charging stops as positive, not a negative. It allows you to get out of your car for a stretch or get something to eat. Most new vehicles remind you to take a break every two hours. Teslas can go between 2 1/2 to three hours between stops so stopping to charge every two to three hours is safer than being able to drive for longer periods.

That works out to about 30 gallons of gas.

The website I'm pretty sure tells you if they're 150 or 250kW. If they're 150kW you can click the X next to the charger on the route and it will ask you if you want to avoid this charger just for this trip or all future trips. Just select all future trips. I've done that for a couple chargers. There's one in Birmingham, AL that I avoid like the plague since it's inside a parking garage.

How much did you spend total on charging and how many miles did you travel total?

$21-24 for each charging session x 4-5 = $84-120

So it added about 2-3 hours of charging and I traveled about 850 miles

hey guys here it is We "Amelia" my Tesla 3 performance and I went from Asheville to Nova scotia, Quebec city, the Great Lakes, Victoria, Cape Flattery, San Francisco, Mendocino, LA, Tajuana, Death Valley, Las Vegas, Austin, New Orleans, Key West and back home to Asheville. 13,850 miles, 35 states, 32 days, 96 charging stops, 2 times had to change nozzles (not working). I used only Tesla on board charging maps, not once I had to wait. This is only possible with a Tesla. Go do it guy's. Charging cost was $0.22 to $0.63 a Kwh on my trip average 3.5m/kw Crossing the USA and Canada I was ready for anything. In SF I broke a wheel but I had a spare and jack, changed wheel while charging. in Covington La. a Ford Lightening driver had to wait 4 Hours to make it back home (80miles 8KW charger) Qs ? leave comment thanks

Thank you for the additional information!

I thought you could drive for like 5 hours before charging again? Why do you have to charge ever 2 hours?

Dude, only 1,000 subs? That's gonna change.

Bro I have the same car as him. Not once did we sweat no range anxiety bullshit. GPS automatically routes you to a supercharger. And I don't even care about "selling you". Literally keep your car bro, it's ok. But thisnis the reality. And if someone runs out of battery, that's there own stupid ass fault for ignoring the gps 😂

Is it free to charge?

@TunaBabyTunchi

For the most part it’s not, but there are cases where depending on the car or if you have charging credits, then yes it’s free

Compare that to a Toyota Sienna (06). An 800 mile road trip would cost 80-90 dollars in fuel. A with a range greater than 500 miles, I would only need to stop once to take on fuel. Normal fill up would take 5-10 min and I’m back on the road The 5 stops in the Tesla are going to extend your road trip by 2.5 hours. And then there is the cost of using a 440 volt charger which is 25 to 40 dollars. 25 X 5 = $125.00 - $200 …. So, in the end, the trip will take 2.5 hours longer and cost $40 to $100 more than driving a petrol powered van….. Humm

I saw you that you drove without holding steering wheel. Can you do that while using autopilot? I was dink when holding steering wheel lightly 🤦‍♂️🤔

You can drive without touching the steering wheel. But it will ask you to touch the wheel every so often.

You said about playing games while driving. That is a NO NO, you are still responsible for the driving, the car will assist but you need to pay attention to the drive.

@TunaBabyTunchi

You’re right

Making five 25-minute stops each time, it's advisable to avoid frequent use of the fast charger. Their reliability can be hit or miss. Personally, I'm not prepared for that level of inconvenience at the moment. I'll eagerly anticipate the day when I can complete an 800-mile journey with just one 15-minute stop. Considering my current hourly pay of $150 (where time is money), a three-hour difference would translate to a cost of $450 for me.

You shouldn't let your Tesla sit at 100% charge for a long duration, only if it has LFP batteries. You can set the charge limit to 100% and then set your departure time. The car will have the complete charge when you are ready to go. There are 3 types of Tesla Superchargers, 70kw, 150kw and 250kw. Make sure you are using the 250kw on later Model Teslas that can do up to 250kw charging speeds.

Except it didn't sit at 100% for a "long duration." Supercharging to full is not an issue nor is leaving it fully charged overnight. Just don't make Supercharging a daily habit and you'll be fine. The LFP 100% thing is actually a drawback in my mind and actually due to difficulty balancing the cells. Shorter range is shorter range.

@extendedepicmusic5017

@@TecnamTwin I never said supercharging to full is an issue. Initially he said that the charge was 96% during the day and left with 96% night the next morning. That can damage the battery unless it is a LFP battery pack. Tesla recommends charging to 80% for maximum battery life, supercharging to 100% during trips is fine.

You never say what the chargers wattage is.

Charging stations don’t have roofs. This means you are going to get soaking wet when it rains. You have to wait in car while charging. Your trip takes twice as long as ice cars.
