I have my first Tesla Model 3 LR AWD 2020. I chose to go with the monthly FSD because to me it's cheaper. About $100/mo to reach the 8k it is now would take me 6.7 years of monthly. One nice thing about the monthly is that you can pause it or cancel it at any time. I have a friend that only turns it on for road trips. I use FSD A LOT and I LOVE IT! I highly recommend doing the monthly option to try it. I also know that I will probably trade mine before the 6.7 years are up (since I didn't research enough and found that with my disabilities the Y would have been better choice). Love your channel and all you do! Thank you guys!
As fiery hot and miserable the summers are here in the low deserts of CA, there's no way I'd trade it for an even worse Florida summer. Oh wow. Love the road trip videos!! Let's go!
Kathy's looking great and rested from summer break. That's nice of you Dave to drive her back to CT. At least you got a hotel and didn't drive thru. Maybe next time let Kathy pick the hotel and you pay haha
@41:15 co-sea-na because co-chi-na means “dirty” in Spanish. I think you’re pronouncing it correctly in Italian 😂… love these road trip videos because of your personalities!
I’m always driving from Tampa to New York. The only time I have a little range anxiety is driving between Ocala and Jacksonville. I wish they would put a supercharger in Starke
Another great road trip video! I had FSD 12.5.1.3 on my white on white (thanks for the inspiration, Kathy!) 2024 Model Y. Traded it in a couple of weeks ago for a 2024 Model 3 LR RWD. It hasn't gotten the update to FSD 12.5.x.x yet and is on 12.3.6. I really miss 12.5 - especially the eye monitoring system, though I still keep my hands lightly on the wheel a fair amount of time. On the interstate in light traffic, I will let go of the wheel with my hands close by. It also works well in town with a couple of interesting behaviors. Will be looking forward to getting the newest version of FSD. Also, the refreshed 2025(?) Model Y should be stunningly great based on my experience with the refreshed 3. Keep up the awesome videos, Dave, Kathy, and Bailey! Lee
On a recent Tesla road trip to Chicago/Milwaukee (from Birmingham, AL), I book a hotel outside of Louisville, KY. My wife was NOT happy with the arrangement. I feel your pain. I heard about it all the way to Chicago. Not good! Love your road trips! Keep them coming.
FSD 12.3.6 is already awesome Dave! Both highway and city. I use it all the time in the city. Not if I’m rushing though, because it can be too slow and cautious at stop signs haha. 12.5.2 should be way better. Can’t wait to get it and try it😃
Dave, add SEXY Buttons to the Y as the updated version gives you lane change without having to buy the Tesla package, I have it on my Model 3 and is brilliant on long trips👍
I have a 2020 model y with FSD and I use it about 95% of the time. And almost all of that driving is in the city and county roads. I don't use it if I'm just going a couple of miles and I usually know a better way to get there than what the mapping gives me. It works really well out in the county and is fantastic on the freeway when it stop and go traffic, you just have to watch out for idiots that want to cut you off but the car performance is great and almost relaxing. I also don't think it's ready for Robotaxi, I do have to take over occasionally but it's still much more relaxing than driving myself.
Deja vu, driven those Marco & Rt75 roads hundreds of times on business. That Naples, FL EA location must be one of the top 5 worst charging locations in the country. Most times I’ve charged there 1-2 stalls out of 4 are down or crippled. Lines can be so long, I go another location. Florida Power & Light has 4-180 kW chargers at City Mattress in Naples and price is only $0.30/kWh. They do same in Estero, FL on Rt 41, but don’t ask for customer support at any FPL charger on weekends or holidays because they are closed. A few miles up the road in Bonita Springs, charging apps show a planned 6-stall EA station going in at Bank of America & Home Depot. 2 years ago, I initiated this location but negotiations with lease holder & utility are painfully slow. Tesla has also planned a Supercharger in Bonita, but we don’t have a lease holder yet.
the issue with the 4xe at least in the mid-atlantic is once the temps get below 25-30F, the electric motor isn’t available and the Jeep will inevitably go into FORM (fuel oil refresh mode) because it’s direct port, gas will seep into the oil pan. it’s not of of jeeps best designs.
So many cars driving in the left lane when the right lanes are empty. In the UK if you do that you will get flashed to move over and at worst you can get a ticket for "Lane Hogging". On a 3 lane highway technically one lane is the driving lane and the others are overtaking lanes. I guess you saw a bit of that on your recent England trio.
Now GM has NACS access. Slowly but surely EA will fade until it's bought out. They're just awful. Has the MERCEDES-BENZ consortium made an offer to buy it out yet?
@@outofspecdave1554 I just did the slightly abridged version of that trip in July from Long Island to Orlando. We wanted to include our dog since she is 13 1/2 and has a tougher time with boarding now. So my wife flew down with the family and I drove alone in our Model Y with our dog. I might have been at the same dispenser walking her at the Buc-ees. I ran into one problem charger in the Buc-ees in St Augustine on the way back, but it was so easy overall. If you travel with a pet, it really doesn’t add any time to the trip because I’ve road tripped with our gas car and we are stoping with our dog about as often anyway. BTW, I made sure to send my wife pictures of South of the Border when I passed it! She hates that place too!
Juul charger? Dave, did you forget the Juul charger across the street from EA in Naples? Each time I charged there, one of two units was down, but the station never has a line.
I've thought of painting bug splats all over my white MY. I'm much more likely to paint it like a rock, and put petroglyphs all over it. That'll hide the bug splats. Edit: Forgot to mention. Some of the petroglyphs will be space ships and aliens.
Derated Tesla Supercharger. It is interesting how much more we are seeing of this with higher voltage vehicles. I realize that your MY is not high voltage but with the CT charging next to you, maybe the station was impacted. You hear lots of stories of Ford's and Rivian's not getting their expected charging speeds.
Dave!!!! Name is Alex and I’m from Rochester MN. I just bought a my first EV. Kind of had a weird experience with Tesla. I have some questions, would you be up for a phone call? Have a service appointment for my model 3 performance and want to know your thoughts. Love your videos! You are the reason I made the jump! 🎉
Kathy you may not want to be on Marco Island in Hurricane Season though which is starting shortly if not already. You'll be glad to be back in Connecticut should a Hurricane hit Marco Island. I'd say maybe EA needs to change manufacturer of charging hardware and dump BTC as their preferred supplier. Saw the monster truck sitting behind you at the lights after you left the charger as well, someone is compensating(overly) I'd say unlike the Mini owner I saw in Mach-E Vlog recent video trip back from Vegas.
Hey Dave, my wife and I are thinking about getting a condo in FL, but I’ve been hearing about high HOA fees and insurance rates. I see you are a condo owner…would you still recommend it?
Is there an editing issue on, I’m watching the video and parts just keep repeating. I.e I’ll see the clip & like 10 minutes later it’s repeated and it’s happened several times
The new fsd is quite an amazing upgrade. I feel it’s quite confident on most roads except illogical streets in Boston. 😂
56:53 LOL !!!! Kathy and Dave together are pure gold !
Woohoo! Another RoadTrip Video!

Great video Dave. When you and Kathy travel on long trips it is s much fun. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to part 2.
Love your road trip videos, Dave. Maybe I’ll run into you at Buc-ee’s, sometime!
These trips are great! I didn't think I was much of a traveler but now I want to.
Go for it!
Happy charging
Every long road trip should include a stop at Buc-ee’s
Many short ones too within 100 miles

I'm with Kathy when it comes to end of vacay and or end of summer! I think she was holding back tears? Great video as usual!
Love you two and these road trip videos are really fun
“Let’s get a CCS car now” is a joke 🤣🤣
Maybe, maybe not… one never knows what happens in the Conner household
Another great video, I love the banter between you and Kathy 😅. Have a great day
B E A U T I F U L sunny morning day, love the read trips, thanks all smiles

It's like I'm going on a road trip with you... thanks!
Dave I think EA with NACS handles would still have service issues. Thanks for the video sir.
Yes the handles will not make the chargers better . Only a lighter cable .
Love me a good road trip..
Nice to see you both so happy and enjoying life.

Dave, you’re lucky, we hit that Buc-ees on the Friday coming from Fairfield heading to USC and no food service due to a water issue. 😢
Wow!
Pedro looks a fun stop. One day...
Hi Dave and Kathy. Fun roadtrip! Are you still planning to put out the boat tour video from your cruise?
Yes
I want a lemon custard smoothie. 😁
I think that was Kim Java when your phone started playing. Sounded just like her.

On a 3 lane highway technically one lane is the driving lane and the others are overtaking lanes. I guess you saw a bit of that on your recent England trio.
There are laws in states where it is illegal to drive in the left lane unless to pass. But people still do it!

“My goal is not to push this model Y up a hill.” Classic! Actually, that hill is probably not too far away from where you said that.
Haha yup

The Leaf is out of luck because there is no more CCS in Naples? It's good you caught your mistake the second time you said it. ;)
I knew someone would catch that You win!
I think the food tour needs to visit the Post Malone Raising Cane's Chicken in the Salt Lake City area.
Juul charger? Dave, did you forget the Juul charger across the street from EA in Naples? Each time I charged there, one of two units was down, but the station never has a line.
Glad to see you had a better experience at that Wendy’s than I had. Went in place was filthy no toilet paper or paper towels.
Dave, Have you thought about trying the auto train from Sanford, Florida to Lorton, Virginia?
Ya But haven’t done it yet I like to drive!

Dave, are Kathy and you affected with the condo crises in Florida? Always fun with some friendly banter.
Everybody with a condo in Florida is facing depreciation, higher insurance rates, and higher fees to own one!
I hate to do this, but as a South Carolinian with OCD, Beaufort is pronounced "Byoo-furt". Beaufort, North Carolina is "Bo-fert", however.
Why is it so hard for EA and Jule to have working chargers?
Kathy you may not want to be on Marco Island in Hurricane Season though which is starting shortly if not already. You'll be glad to be back in Connecticut should a Hurricane hit Marco Island.

Nope. Once you see our next move, you will understand why. I do expect great things from that refresh though

When will you be trading in this one ?
Hey Dave, my wife and I are thinking about getting a condo in FL, but I’ve been hearing about high HOA fees and insurance rates. I see you are a condo owner…would you still recommend it?
The only advantage right now is the prices are dropping like a rock!
Would you be so kind to forward me the information on how you when about establishing your diminished value claim on your daughter’s car?
Why are you selling your new Model 3?
I have a 2024 MY what is your plan on road trips in case of a flat tire
AAA plan
Tire plug kit, inflator. I have a spare tire if I really am heading into remote areas.
I love Bucees
Kat, are you wearing the same dress you went to the restaurant in?
Is there an editing issue on, I’m watching the video and parts just keep repeating. I.e I’ll see the clip & like 10 minutes later it’s repeated and it’s happened several times
I typically take quick sections of the main video and repeat them at the beginning as a bit of a highlight preview; so you aren’t seeing double
Try windex on your stops
Or even better use Meguiars Spray Wax on windshields. Helps with cleaning up bug splats.
Aw come on Cathy wash th car ( please in ur favorite bikini ) 👍🔥❤️
As much as I love ur classy style , videos, family and friends I promise you I’ll unsubscribe if I play country music!!! That’s no sht either
An I won’t be missed !!!
Teslas are so incredibly boring
The diet makes me cringe
