Just did 600 miles in a MYLR and the roadtrip experience is so great in a Tesla! Autopilot is freaking amazing on highway trips and the seats are the best I've ever felt
BTW you can create Snow Mode by turning on Track mode and turning off regen braking and moving power to front wheels. Enjoy.
Haha cool. No track mode on long range!
@@EverydayChris Ah sorry. I am in VT a lot and created a Snow Mode and it actually really works though it's really odd to drive without regen. Cheers
Track mode cranks the battery cooling in anticipation for tracking (rapid battery heating). Not a good idea in the snow.
@@B540m3pI feel like it would be smart enough not to do that in the cold, right?
I don't understand where people get the idea that FWD is good for snow???
Why would you rather have a FWD than an AWD, it makes no sense whatsoever.
The FWD myth works only on trash ice cars with poor weight distribution, where most of the weight is upfront so it gets more traction on those wheels. I hope you understand that this Tesla has slightly more weight over the back wheels, so using the front wheels only makes it worse.
Looks like you had fun! I visited California from Wisconsin in my Model Y last summer, and enjoyed the drive out there and back. Thinking about visiting parts of southern California this year.
Road tripping in a Tesla is so much fun thanks to the supercharger network, and Autopilot doing the boring mundane driving on the interstate.
I drove my MYP to the Stevens Pass in WA couple times on winter snowfall. My all season Michelin tires are very comfy and handles really nice on winter road conditions. Love them.
So if you want to decrease battery usage than I found best to just leave defrost/ defogging mode on to your windshield and off climate. You will see about 3-5% savings and its pretty comfy to drive. Heated steering wheel and heated seats will keep you warm.
If you like to drive with climate on than I prefer to keep everything in Auto, so car will manage itself how much to heat your cabin, seats, steering wheel to save your battery juice. Cheers
Really liked your video, dealing with serious snow. Those Goldens are beautiful dogs! The best dispositions of any breed, I would say. Considering a Tesla Model 3 here in coastal New England, where we've mostly gotten rain so far this winter. Was interesting watching how you deal with bad weather on road trips with your Tesla. CA has to be Ground Zero for EVs in the US, with so many charging stations!
haha yeah. Thanks so much RM!
Beautifully done!
I’m from New Hampshire. We never use tire chains. We have hakkapeliitta ‘s. They are incredible!
We used to have that much snow in the ‘80’s before global warming 😂
The wife and I have taken the same trip from San Clemente to Nevada City, but have not gone to Tahoe yet. We loved Bravo Farms and the that gift shop is packed with all sorts of fun stuff.
Amazing place! Hidden gem!
+1 subscriber - Hello from San Diego! I just purchased my new Model Y P and your information is very helpful! To top if off, you're a dog person, which is a bonus! It was fun watching your pooches in the snow!
Woohoo! I love SD. I want to go to that famous donut shop in downtown SD soon
I did a road trip with a rented M3 in Belgium all the way up to Netherlands. I also did the same from Liverpool to London, that was really fun to drive a Tesla on the other side of the road. For the summer, we will be going to the Olympics in Paris and renting an MY and just going to car camp all over France instead of gettin AirBnBs everywhere we want to go. So excited.
Glad you have so much confidence with the autopilot!
I love it!
Thanks for this video Chris!
Thanks for watching John!
Wow! Great road trip. I got a 2022 Model Y Performance and love doing road trips with it. Went to Vegas first week of January to attend the CES Convention all the way from NorCal.
Nice! Did you ride the boring tunnel??
@@EverydayChris i sure did. Went from the Convention Center to Resort World. It was nice. Quick trip instead of walking. Free ride during the Convention. Don't know if it is during regular days.
We love the Patterson supercharger for the close Starbucks and the grass for the doggos!
Cool!
Love your "out of spec" road trip!
Bruh always has some of the best footage. dope drone and camera shots.
Thanks man!
I haven’t been to Tahoe in years. Looks nice. I was in Reno in October and the sc rates were .23. Can’t remember if they were v2 or v3 chargers.
the dogs waiting for Netflix to start is the highlight of the video : ) there so cute
Lol! The way you were shoveling!
Considering purchasing a model Y this year. Any major problems or issues with the vehicle so far? This is going to be my first electric vehicle
Informative video! This honestly makes me worried about getting a Tesla though, it seems as if you’re always having to worry about charging it and keeping it with enough battery. Like you have to plan your trip around it. Especially since I live in the Midwest with cold winters
It's not bad but it DOES require some planning
I live in new england. Most of my friends who own a Tesla also own gas SUVs for road trips especially in winter. Tesla is ok for everyday city or office trips. Will not recommend it for road trips but it's ok if you plan it well. But still, there's some worry in the back of your mind..
I've been doing these long ski trips for 6 years now and it's really not that bad. Tesla cars shine in cold weather because of their ability to warm up the car remotely from the app. Traction on the 4WD is astonishingly good IMO because of the high weight of the car. Stopping every couple of hours to charge is no issue since the car tells you where and when and how long. You only need to make sure you have some charge to leave the car for a week in the cold if you can't plug it in like Chris. If you can plug it in leave some room in it for breaking when going down when the car charges back up.
Chris, thank you for a fun video.
Thanks for watching Eva!
Another one out of the park, Chris! Loved watching your dogs frolicking in the snow. You're definitely giving them their best life. You're not doing to bad for you and Jan, too! I love Tahoe. I haven't been there in decades, and I miss it. Hint: Tajon is pronounced tuh-HONE. ;-)
TUH HONE! HAHA. I keep getting it wrong every time. Thanks Jeff!
@@EverydayChris I only correct you with the best intentions, my friend. If you ever drive to El Cajon near San Diego, the same will apply. :-)
Haha yes sir
Your friends car slid, because the parking brake is only on one axle (back axle) and the normal hydrolic breaks (used while driving & parking) loose the breaking-preassure after some time. Always keep this in mind when parking a Tesla (or any EV) on a slope that has snow or ice. If its asphalt or concrete its not an issue.
16:44 I think the snow on those cameras was already melted before you turned on defrost. I live in Idaho Falls and when it snows the car automatically defrosts when the cameras are obscured by snow so the cameras can record motion when Sentry Mode is active. I'm not sure if it does that with Sentry Mode off.
Thats cool
Very nice and informative video! Fun fact, defrosting your car also pre-conditions the battery!
undercarriage pressure washer attachment is a must have when driving in the snow to wash all that salt off. Amazon has many Chris. Love the video
Oh cook
What's the heads up display you are using at 1:52? If its not HUD, what's that?
Hey man, loved the video. TIP for you tho… I noticed you said your buddy’s tire pressure was low which it was but 33 psi is TOO MUCH air for snowy conditions. You actually wants to air your tires down in snow to about 15 psi. HUGE difference. Your buddy had too much air that’s why it slid down.
Awesome!! I read that you want more air in the tires with snow but it didn’t seem to make sense
The Harris Ranch was supergood ! we try it to and the beef jerky too :)))
It is a smart that put heater at the wheel
Informative video!
Thank you!
This is while i still keep ice car....I want to keep there fast and enjoy my vacation. Ev for everyday drive.
Hey Chris! I’m from OC. I have a model 3 right now and upgrading to model y in the next couple of weeks. I have always carried tires socks on my model 3 but haven’t dared to try them in harsh conditions yet. How have the tire socks treated you? Have they worked well? Wondering if I should have chains or socks in my 4 wheel y for emergency situations
For sure works. But Have them on front and rear tires! I'll do a video soon!
@@EverydayChris that would be cool. There’s a lot of different options for socks too on amazon. I’ve wondered about longevity. I’ve read comments about how they don’t last long. There’s also not too many newer TH-cam videos on socks either so the video could be handy for years. 😄
My model 3 is 2018 long range single motor. I’m handing it to my brother - still curious if it still works well for single motor. They’ve been sitting in the car unopened. I’ll be sure to get 2 sets to make sure the Y has all 4 tires covered should I need them.
Holy the first tesla you spotted was us trying to take of the socks so it doesn’t get ripped up. 7:39
Haha that was you!!? I saw a lady come out too and was like oh she has an autosock!
@@EverydayChris we couldn’t go anywhere because of the snow and we didn’t have the socks, so I watched your TikTok and bought a pair at a nearby big 5
Haha wow!
Awesome Chris. Did you use winter tires? Im planning for a trip too
I didn’t! I had two types of auto socks that video is coming in 3 days
About your tire chain/traction device 20:15 I'm surprised AWD wasn't enough to handle the snow. I've seen other TMY in snow with no tire traction added. Did you just add them as a precaution or do you feel the conditions mandated you have them for safety?
Same. Video coming very soon. AWD did NOT do well in heavy snow. Even auto socks on the rears weren't that safe.
When driving in winter conditions, use winter tyres.
Facts
Still taking advantage of free supercharging on My Model S.
.43/kw is crazy
Wow! You guys stopped by our neighborhood. Mtn House/Tracy area.
Haha nice area
Definitely going on a North-East Rd trip when I get my Tesla this year.... I just don't know what to go for, so I can get the Tax Credit. M3-P or MY-LR?!?! I can't decide. lol
haha MY is more practical IMO. But M3 is WAYYY more fun
When I was at tahoe a month ago my model y could barely keep the windshield fog free. I tried defog, defrost, auto, manual, nothing worked. Only the areas directly above the vents are fog free. It was cold, and there were 4 adults and 4 sets of wet gears in the car so it was probably hard for the system to dehumidify the cabin. Never happened to me in my other cars though. It was very frustrating.
Yeah their auto defrosters dont work so well. What works is setting the air flow to UP and maxing it out to 10
I'm thinking of buying a Model Y for driving in Canada and this is my concern. The youtube videos of driving in Canada don't mention this. Could you kindly elaborate? It is simply a matter of allowing the car to pre-heat or using more battery power so that it can keep the cabin toasty and free of frost or as the Tesla heaters not powerful enough to heat the cabin?
Very nice video. I often wonder what it would be like living in your part of the U.S.
Expensive lol
Do you have snow tires or all season tires?
The dogs are awesome.
Thanks CHEVY!
Great Video!
Thanks Tesla Tim. Your car looks sexy
great video Chris
Thanks 👍
the lodge in the first clip look exactly like the one in teslas new destination charging video
haha I saw that's crazy.
Have you thought about doing a video on working with and customizing the app?
I should do a run down on all the features of the app. GOOD CALL KEPANO!
Simba peeing is funny. We live in Saskatchewan with winter from November to March! (Dry snow, less slippery) My dogs accept the snow cold pee😂. I am still in the range anxiety stage of our model Y. I went on a 250 km round trip refusing to listen to music, heat on lowest setting, car seat lowest setting to preserve battery. My loving family remotely would turn the heat up in car! I got home with 28% battery. It will just take more trips for me to feel confident when driving in frigid temperatures.
hahah yeah you'll get used to it!
Are we allowed to use auto sock instead of the traditional snow chain?
Yes. Approved in the US as certified traction devices
Hey Chris - how did you hardwire your radar detector on your car?
Check my how to install radar detector video! It was a fun task
About to get a 2023 model 3 and live where it snows and is cold half the year (Canada). So it was very informative. Though I thought you weren't allowed to use extension cords with tesla charging?? You every have issues with it?
Nope! It’s a higher amp extension cord as well!
@@EverydayChriswhat are the specs on the cord you’re using please? Name as well?
EV extension cable- geni.us/bwBwLwb@@trinfabian4131
U know u can add a 5th quick action in the Tesla app? So many people don’t.
What are the stock Model X tires for the 20" wheel?
It's the Pireli scorpio all season's. it has REALLY good ratings
What was your leftover range/miles when you got to hard rock?
Didn’t get a video of it but I had plenty left over. I think around half
I’m going to assume that was a troll cut… you use snow shovel same as normal shovel.
Instead driving Tesla, This is charging Tesla video actually. :)
Well done.
Thanks Chuck!
Do you drive with and all the time? Or just when snow rain?
Only snow! Off road assist
do u have a snow tire?
You made it to my work, that tesla security car got hit, they still use it🤣
Hahah cool!!!
Those handles would drive me nuts. I live in a very cold climate. I just want a normal handle to open a door. Not pull out my phone to go in an app to open it.
What do you use for your HUD? nice video!
Which HUD?? OHHH that's another video I was driving the RX!
@@EverydayChris ahhh now i see, thanks. have you seen any good ones used in a tesla? thats one of the wifes complaints.
@@stankycheeze2226 haha not yet and not really. I think hannshow has one but not sure about their quality
I think if you have AWD you don't need to chain up on the 50 or 80.
I think the air bnb owner took down the page. :(
It’s weird. Some browsers it works others it says unavailable.
EVERYDAY JAN BACK AT IT!!!!
hahaha
spike spiders clip on snow chains
Bro you were so close to my hometown of Stockton.
Get some coffee next time
Guess they too the airbnb listing down :)
wow what perfect timing lol. THey are still up on VRBO
Were you nervous when your range got so low and the next charging station was far away?
Exactly what my wife just said. SHe said "I used to be scared that my battery was below 10% when I'm close to a supercharger but now I like it because I know I'll charge faster." hahah. You get used to it and not nervous at all
What heads up display do you have?
none
Would a brick in front of the tires keep the car from sliding on the driveway?
Yes for sure if the air b had it!
@@EverydayChris Hard to think of literally packing bricks.
Did u change ur tires? Not the stock ones
a while ago. I have a video on it. Michelin A/S 4!
I’m sure others have mentioned this, Tejon is pronounced TE-HONE.
Hobo is a sweet old school term
transients!
@@EverydayChris I think transient has a negative connotation, hobo is great or tramp
Wait I thought hobo is the bad term and transient is people who are transitioning to something else so its better? @@John-209
@@EverydayChris well, when you put it like that, I think you are right
The fact that people actually pay you for a checklist is crazy to me... People are SO gullible. It's like selling ice to an Eskimo.
Like a cabin
I would be exhausted!
Acceleration - Chill
Regen - Low
😢 I hate to waste of time when got a trip like that. Supercharger waste too much tsupercharger 😢😢 Take me five minute for my gas full Tank that’s all
wish you took better care of your tesla
with all the long roadtrips you do, you should consider the Bluedot card...20% off Tesla Charging. Hit me up for the referral link ;)
Biggest storm *in five yrs* to correct you Sir.
Haha thanks
.42! WOW. California rips off its residents on everything. Here in FL I can fill up 20 gallons in my SUV , it gets 30mpg on the highway. I can drive from West Palm to Atlanta on that one tank and its only $60 and I do NOT have to stop!
Amen
Why the comment on homeless…
Exactly! I said the same thing. Actually had to rewind the video to see if he really said that. Called them hobos too! Not cool at all. Last time watching his videos. Almost sounded like an elitist. Just in case you think I’m only watching because I want to see things about your Teslas. I own a Tesla X as well and am proud not to assume that homeless ppl are typically dangerous. 😞
I also unsubscribed. Pity, I enjoyed your content.
Cut off your nose to spite your face? Idiotic.
I apologize. Not cool. Didn't Realize it was derogatory.
How is Simba doing?
His cancer is growing very slowly. Meds are helping but his energy is still good. Thanks for asking!
@@EverydayChris Luckiest doggie ever!
So why are you not driving your tesla :P
LOL. I'll update the description! I gave the RX to my mom so we drove 2 separate cars!
The airbnb doesn’t work :(
Sad. They took it down bits it’s still on vrbo I think
get crossclimate 2
lol. I would be dreaming of a gas station so I can just fuel up and go. No worries about charging or battery conditioning. PRICELESS!! I pray everyone puts a halt on electric cars until we have the infrastructure to handle them.
Yeah man. They need charging at EVERY gas station
@@EverydayChris I am not hating on Teslas. I think Tesla has a long way to go to provide quality product for the price but I hope they continue to fix issues and succeed. I am saying we are not ready for every manufacturer out there to start launching electric cars... its going to be an absolute mess
Doing alot of people watching when you own a tesla 😂
LMAO, what's the point of a frunk cooler in a winter storm, all that stuff will be frozen solid.
Your comment about the homeless people or hobos as you called them was completely uncalled
Agreed had no idea. I apologize. Now I know and it won’t happen again
Dont want to be mean but this is not really winter. Come to canada and we will talk
I’m coming
Drives up to Tahoe. It dumps snow and he calls the weather "horrible" 🤡 WTF dude, do you not ski or snowboard. Why would you even go to Tahoe in the winter to sit around and drink coffee.
eeew ... hobo's ... Better hurry back to hobo free OC.
Haha
Why disrespect the homeless people???
how come you have white seats but you still have the brown wood on the dash and doors?
video on it. HILLS DASHBOARD. real wood sexy
assume half the range in the cold? dayummmm, that's ass.
i really want a model y given the new incentives and all the toyota vehicle markups, but the thing would get murdered in the midwest winter.
Tesla's do have the largest battery pack for an SUV. Maybe a Rivian?
