Tessies Travels
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 12 ม.ค. 2018
Touring Europe in a Tesla model S, sleeping in the car and visiting wonderful places. Proving that not only is it fun to do long journeys in an electric vehicle (EV), but easy. Many of our trips will be to places that are easier for us to get to from our home in Hungary, but hopefully will inspire others to make the journey.

Taking my 9 year old Tesla model S with a battery SOH of 89% on an 8000 km, 5000 miles trip from our home in Hungary, over to the UK and up to Aberdeen, then down to Alicante, Spain and then back over to Hungary. Can an older EV make the trip in an enjoyable manner? If you enjoy this content, please take a moment to like, share and subscribe, it really is helpful. Thank you.

Stupid or ignorant to how it works! EV shared chargers

Why do people park next to you on shared power chargers when separate units are available?

To Harrogate from Hungary in an EV

First big trip first video, in my model S, from home in Hungary to Harrogate for the Everything Electric show. Sleeping in the car along the way. Apologies in advance for the poor video work, ;-)
Wow what an adventure! Makes me want my own Tessie
Enjoyed hearing about Yorkshire's towns and some great vegan food choices! Good to know if we're ever down there :)
Interesting, enjoyed seeing Knaresborough and Ripon (not been there). Seems like there are lots of Tesla chargers about!
Hi, glad you liked it. Thank you. Yes, I really can't get my head around how people think there would be any problem in the UK with finding chargers, Tesla or otherwise. I get that some parts of the country are less well provided than others, but compared to the large distances between chargers in some European countries, the UK is pretty well served. Spain is a completely different matter, tags or cards required at many providers and a Spanish bank card and/or phone number to register on the apps.
Also Claire’s car is really cool!
Definitely a limited choice of estate type vehicles available, she seems very happy with it.
What a trip! The charging areas are definitely busier in the UK! Your day trips looked fun, and lots of cool facts about the places you grew up around! I hope that bridge holds… don’t want it to collapse for a third time lol
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it.
What a long trip! Nice to see the Information on the Yorkshire towns.
Glad you enjoyed it
Youre doing it! Proving that EVs are the future!
A lot of interesting and useful information.. 😊
Nice meeting you at South Mimms today. Interesting channel. Safe travels.
Thanks, you too!
I drive munich to cardiff and back a few times a year. Model Y with roof box. And charge is generally effortless unless my nav is a bit unclear and I miss an exit. I do wish Tesla had more chargers at services in Europe, as they do along the M4 in the UK. We’ve done trips in Germany with bikes, camping equipment and 5 people filling the car. Effortless mostly, just some checking for route to account for charging options.
Excellent, and thanks for the comment. I still have total non believers in my circle of friends, but some are slowly coming round. Safe travels.
@@tessiestravelsI’m in Cardiff now and leaving in a few days back to Munich. With young children and a cat, we plan to take overnight breaks on this trip. Charging means I just don’t feel so tired after 11hr travels (cologne to cardiff via LeShuttle). The only planning in UK is to avoid Tesla chargers in paid car parks. Also applies to some outlet centres in Europe. And in the UK most superchargers are at motorway services whilst in Europe they are off the motorways and lack good amenities (for the most part). If using non-Tesla at services, the cost is almost double (75c V 45c/KW)
Have you encountered the height restricted chargers? A real pain when you have bikes on the roof.
Interesting to see how easy it is to charge at Tesla stations, looking forward to hearing more about your travels!
Why do vegans always look ill?
😂😂😂 thanks for that, don't worry, it has been said before, but in reality just an old knacker with a lived in face. As described by one of my granddaughters it is "crumpled"
Talking about range and chargers with other vegan EV drivers. Petrol and diesel drivers don't know what they're missing. It's cool, fun and healthy whilst looking cool. "Range anxiety" No way!
But always feel on the edge of what is deemed normal!
This is what pisses me off about the Tesla haters: If had stood on my driveway, with my friends, and said; My new car has 500HP, O-60 in 3.6s but does 110mpg and is silent. It doesn’t need services and has more interior space than the X5 it replaced …. They would all be agast. Impressed beyond belief… But when I say it’s a Tesla, they all sneer and get very grumpy! Petulant child-like. “Elon should shut his bloody mouth” “That thing will catch fire” “Doesn’t he support Trump?” “Car parks can’t stand the weight” “It depreciates fast” “Takes hours to charge” “You’ll need new batteries in two years and they cost £30K” “You can’t cross Europe in it” Utter imbeciles…

I hear it over, and over and over but slowly a few are coming round to the idea of an EV in the future.
Just get a Tesla
I don't blame you for having properties out of the UK as life here is getting unbearable , Good example i could not get an NHS dentist , I need 7 bad teeth to be extracted due to years of drinking cola and sugary foods so have had to cough up £1400 to have that done and then will have to pay another £800 for a partial denture , I think it is very bad the UK is becoming like a 3rd world country , Anyway you chose wisely by buying a Tesla as they seem to have Batteries that last a lot longer than the equivalent Nissan or Renault EVs , I'm looking at getting an EV soon as my current car a Fiat 500 has cost me an arm and a leg in repairs and its not that old lol , Anyway looking forward to pt2 cheers
Many thanks for the comment. We left the UK to live 12 years ago, had minor set backs and regular visits back to see family , but I doubt we will ever be back to live here.
@@tessiestravels Awesome 😀 glad you made a life for yourselves outside of the UK , I may have to do the same soon as the Govt is just ripping us off now , Good example my local council wants to raise tax by 25% in April 2025 im not paying it anymore , As i only live in a small 1 bed flat but they already want £130 a month so add 25% ontop of that and it will be like £155 a month unaffordable , Then theres the ever rising food gas water and electric bills too , Its like we Brits pay a privilege to just livin in the UK , Anyway im glad you got out years back and hope i can too.
Cammy loved the cement mixer and the hose! ❤
Go Tessie go!!!
Most people have very little idea of how ANYTHING works. Are you a member of your local Tesla Owners Club? If so, you can offer them a card, all friendly like. THEN, “oh by the way, Did You Know….. although they Look the Same, in this Charger Bank the A & B stalls share 100, the newer ones on da ‘ther side be faster at 200 per. Newer cars charge fastest with Gen 3, as per your Nav”. Then they know
Charging etiquette
Did you find out what was draining the charge?
Croatia looks beautiful ❤ what an adventure!
Another great video!
Lovely!
First Comment!
Another great one Roy! Appreciate your knowledge. 🇨🇦
Oops, I don't even know my own car. It's a model S not a model Y, don't know where that came from.
Great first attempt at video Roy….looking forward to the next one 👍🏻
Great video, proving all the EV doubters wrong!
Thanks for sharing! Would be good to see a bit more of the driving, maybe some interesting landmarks along the way, plus drive time between each stop and battery percentages.
Great first video for your new TESLAAAAA!
Awesome video!! Love from Canada🇨🇦
Yayyyyy Roy!!!
Well done! From Hungary to Harrogate in an EV! Amazing. And people say EVs are for short journeys…..
I might have missed it in the video but did you tot up how much time you spent charging? Very interesting, but can't say I'd be doing a trip that far in any car, petrol, diesel, or EV 😅
The shortest was 15 mins at Trumpington, the longest wa s just under an hour at Erlangen. I didn't actually tot up the total time as it was more a case of combining the charging with rest and toilet breaks. I was not in any rush which I'm sure made it easier and less stress. I will keep times in mind for future journeys. Thank you commenting.
Hi @josuastringfellow, just found the settings on the Tesla app to see statistics better. Harrogate to Hungary I added 477 KW and was stopped at chargers for 8 hours 43 mins over the 3 days but only charging for 7 hours 4 minutes.
@@tessiestravels Cheers, not too bad! Which model year is it?
