"Granny Charging" is underrated. We do this every day at home (Coincidentally in the SW of France, an hour South of where you were). The petrol equivalent is having someone filling your car with petrol overnight whilst you sleep. Waking up to a full "fuel tank" every day is a real luxury .... and costs about €3
Great video Steve! We did a bit over 2.500 miles in our Model 3 dual motor last month, from Finland to Luxemburg and back. Supercharger network was superb, not a single hiccup. I don't think I would do that trip in any other EV than a Tesla.
Great video, Steve. Thanks! I enjoyed watching it as much as you enjoyed making it (and, yes, I was laughing as well). These superchargers certainly seem to make every Tesla driver absolutely ecstatic. You should try a road trip like that using BP Pulse. That'd give you some unforgettable footage, without a doubt . . . 😡🤬😭
Great video mate, really enjoyed it, keep up the great work, keep laughing 😂 and looking forward to your next Tesla video. Maybe one using camp mode or a longer road trip? How far can you go in Europe ? My goal is to get a Tesla one day and I would like to do a road trip to Poland Liked & subscribed 🎉
Another great video Steve - loved it. Very interesting. Still decent efficiency. Still a little over 10p per mile? I’ve just done Nottingham to the Lakes in my LR and back for about £2.50 as I had free charging at the hotel! Amazing.
Your videos give real EV driving experience which is good to see. Pity no one has done a model 3 standard vs long range distance test. The standard range would stop more often but needs less charge each time as it has a smaller battery. Is the standard range more efficient as its lighter ? I am testing the range of my Cupra Born V2 58 kwh in different weather conditions. If climate is turned off I get a better range in summer or winter. The claimed range of my car must have been done with climate OFF as I can get over 4 miles per kwh in summer with climate OFF.
Interesting points! I think the SR max charging rate it 170kW compared to LR/P's at 250kW, however when I Super charge mine, it doesnt spend that much time at teh very top speeds. It would be food to see how each one tapers down. I'm sure @RSEV will have compared. Good choice with the Born!
@@SteveJulien Thank you. My 2017 Audi S3 is missed but water the pump was possibly the next expensive problem. Apparently even Audi don't like selling 5 year old S3's as the car has several known common problems along with the Golf R, GTI, Leon and Skoda VRS 2 litre petrol. Born interior is massive in comparison to A3 / S3 pity I couldn't stretch to a model Y.
Imagine if a vehicle had a 900 plus mile range and it took less than 5mins to fully replemish the energy it consumed . You could stop when you wanted not when your vehicle needed . That would be great wouldn't it ?
Taking our model 3 to Europe in 3 weeks. Really looking forward to it. Just a quick question, do you need to fit beam benders to the lights or are they auto change for the direction they point?
Thanks, Steve. Fascinating and as entertaining as always. I'm really looking forward to my Model Y in the spring. It should be available before that but I'm being disciplined and sticking to the agreed lease timeline's start date. Any new Tesla vids would be welcomed - especially if your Dad's involved 🙂!
As yet, I'm a non EV driver, but imo the charging stops are good in a safety way, as they are "forcing" you to stop and take a break. Which can only be a good thing !
Really nice video, mate. Nice presentation style, and I cracked up at your "This is why I got kicked out of MI6". :D Last year I took my Model S 100D all around Central Europe. Got to Budapest in Hungary before turning back and returning to blighty. I'm convinced that driving on the continent works better on these cars as they're designed for LHD. RHD always feels a bit of an afterthought (see the delay with the 2022 Model S). I now have a Model Y Performance, and you're right - standard Autopilot is all you need. I had EAP before, and the dealership told me to keep my money! :D

Great wrap up. Love your down to earth, no nonsense appraisal of real world experience.
Thanks! lots more to come with the M3. Have a great weekend.

Agreed.
Zero planning for long journeys with a Tesla.

I never speed either.... learned that in my advanced evasive driving course for the CIA haha
Don't avoid Rouen, i met Robert Lewellyn there....
What company/where did you order your toll tag from for travelling on the toll roads in France?

Hey Steve,how do I get the French toll sticker thing,am driving to Madrid next month so need it for that,cheers .

@@SteveJulien thanks
Could you please send me the link for your granny charge solution in France, thanks
Hi. Should all be in the description with a link to the site. Any questions, give Xavier a call. Lovely chap. Mention my name.
@@SteveJulien got it, thanks 👍
Great video thanks. Heading to Switzerland via Belgium/ Germany end of July in our LR. Can't wait!
Thanks for posting, you mention autopilot felt better in France, I wonder if it’s because you’re driving on the right?
Could be 🤔
Steve loving these videos. I just bought a Hyundai Ioniq 5 limited and loving the electric world. Keep up the great work.
Great choice of car.
I remember in 2012 I did a long drive from Dublin, Holyhead to Dundee in a 24kw Leaf. Jez, times have changed 😂
Now that must have been a journey and a half!
@@SteveJulien it taught me a lot. Most important, return via Belfast much quicker

Hope you’re welll!
The Model Y is very nice!
Great video, particularly as I will be taking mine to LeMans this year and then on to south of Poitier. LeMans a Rouen should do me for the trip.

Did you use headlight converters?
Middle class people almost fighting over the ham hock sandwiches is my favourite TH-cam line of the year. 👏👏👏
Ta! 😂
Brilliant- well done👍
Great video. You would make a good TV presenter. 👌
Thanks!
Thanks for this video, Steve. Really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it
