London to Edinburgh in a Tesla Model Y Long Range | Tesla Road Trip UK 2022
So myself and my good mate Dennis did an Epic road trip in this 2022 Tesla Model Y long-range taking us from Tesla in Guildford up to Newcastle via Gateshead, on to Whitley Bay, Edinburgh, Carlisle, Keswick in the Lake District, then the fantastic Tebay Services to finish things off.
We decided to only use the Tesla Supercharger network to make the journey perhaps a little more challenging - find out how we got on with range anxiety, charging the Tesla, and more...
This video was made with NO UNFAIR AGENDA of any kind other than to genuinely see if a long EV road trip adds time and inconvenience on to a long trip. For the record, I love cars, not fuel sources. Tesla was kind enough to lend me the car but I have been under no pressure to show anything other than the absolute truth.
A full review of the Tesla Model Y Long Range is coming very soon.

@@davidfelton134 thank you!!!
Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks Steven - you might like the 5 countires in one day EV I did too...
Great video Jim, looked like a great trip !! 👍👍
Thanks John, it really was, would love to have spent another day and gone further into Scotland but alas not possible this time around.
Just got round to watching this, was a great watch during my breakfast
Haha, good work!
keep it up, so informative, really enjoying what you do, a breath of fresh air, an honest outlook.
Thanks Karim, that’s the idea. 👍👍👍
Great to see a long journey on a beautiful road trip. Keep up the great work lads 😀👍
Thanks Adrian.
Keep up the excellent work! 👍
Thanks Chris
Absolutely great!

👍👍
Good video, thanks. Much appreciated. 😊
Thanks Dean
What a great video and very interesting seeing how things went from beginning to end
Thanks 🙏
More please, great video.
Thank you, spread the word 👍
Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you!
Interesting video,liked useful info along the trip.Dennis great as well.👍
Thanks very much
Raised a large number of points which made a great deal of sense. Well done. 😊👍
Thanks Mike
Enjoyable video as always Jim.
Many thanks Tim!
I’ve been looking forward to this one and it didn’t disappoint. Looks like a great trip. Lots of love here for Tebay services as well. 👍🏼
Thanks buddy, Tebay rocks 👌
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru A mate of mine lives in Tebay village. We have been known to grab the occasional breakfast at Tebay Services..........
Great video, something different and something certainly entertaining. More of this!
I’d love to, hoping it gets about 10x more views as I can’t do these videos without sponsors.
Great video, very interesting and informative 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Jim. This shows the easy of EV driving,
Thank you
Love this 🤩👏
👍👌
Looking at ModelY at the moment so great and timely video 😎👍
👍
Great video ❤
Thank you!!
Very interesting thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Robert 👍
Interesting to see the Model Y covering a varied long route like this. Shows the benefits of the car and Tesla charging network together as a total solution.
It would be a good repmobile with that range and charging network.
Indeed
Great review, Ice to have a real life evaluation 👍
Thanks, it was a great trip but wish we’d tagged in an extra day. Very tiring!
Great video.. Very interesting to see a long road trip in an EV and see the practicalities of charging it en route. Good point you made about the chargers being located where you would probably want to take a break anyway to stretch your legs and get a coffee so it didn’t encroach on your journey time.
It was great actually but I fear it would have been more of an inconvenience if we’d done it in something other than a Tesla. Great trip and great car 👍
So 24hours longer than a diesel
Nice video Jim, shows how easy long journeys are in an EV
👍👍
Yes, please do more of these vlogs.
I’d love to if I get the chance. Unfortunately it’s impossible without sponsorship and the video views have been really poor. The video itself has made £14 so far and cost several hundred to put together.
This summer me and my family had an epic 3 week holiday driving my model y from Nottingham to The Hague via the euro tunnel , from there drove to Paris and then onto the Rhone alps before driving back to Nottingham.
I would not of contemplated this had it not been for the supercharger network.
It’s amazing and gave me 100% confidence
Sounds awesome
Nice one mate 👍
Thanks brother 👊
Top job fella 👍
Thanks Paul
Really enjoyed this video. Shows how easy travelling in a Tessa can be with the Tessa charging services
Thanks for watching
Great video
Thanks!
Great video. Loved the content. Will subscribe :)
Awesome, thanks Pedro 👍
Great video and can only imagine the time and effort that went into it. I have always been sceptical about public charging and the sheer effort I imagined it to be. Seems like Tesla and the super chargers make it easy
It was a piece of cake in the Tesla to be honest mate. 👍👍👍
Really good video
Gracias 😁
keep them coming Jim
👍👍👍
Great
👍👍
As a Tesla Model Y Owner I can confirm that the Tesla supercharger network is great - I charge at home for 5p/Kwh so that's a massive bonus, the car does about 4 miles on 1 Kwh. My maths might be slightly out but thats over 550 MPG at present day petrol prices, the car its self is amazing but after having German cars for over 20 years I can see the difference in build quality but is not bad at all. Liked your honest review of the car and as I live in the North I loved to hear your thoughts on the area, Tebay is my favourite service station in the whole country and anyone passing should stop in and have a look.😀
I've only had 2 Tesla's (both Press Cars) but the build qualkity has been superb on both. I know there are consistency issues and have certainly seen some poor examples but I try to take as I find and both have been great for me. Tebay is amazing!
Just curious where you get 5p per kw-h? 10p is the cheapest I can find so far these day?
@@Leonidshishlov Its deal Ive been on for a while and no longer available im afraid but its through OVO 😥
I enjoy this type of video
Me too, I’d love to do more so hope the views pick up 👍
The M25 is the UK`s leading car park.
100%
Well done.
👍👍
love it
👍
As a Tesla owner it was refreshing to see your honest and balanced assessment. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video. 👍
Thank you 🙏
Great vid, as a guy awaiting delivery of a model y but ‘ev virgin’ really appreciate all the info and review!
Thanks Nick, there’s an actual review of the car live now too.
Nice video with some nice views.
Great views as soon as we got North of Newcastle
Very good 👍
Thank you 👍
Great video and info on V check expected it to be ore expensive.
👍👍👍
Great video. Ashness Bridge near Keswick was the bridge you showed. It is stunning. Would have been good to see you use and comment on the automated driving on the motorway, especially how it handled the wet weather.
👍👍👍 the automated driving was great, even in the bad weather.
Very nice
Thanks
Another good one. I wish I could afford one!
Same here, great car
Love tebay and sometimes stop even though I didn't need to
It’s almost the destination isn’t it
Cool vid, here’s the comment requested. Hope the vid does well for you. 👍🏻
Appreciate that Rhys, thanks!
Really useful vid as always Jim. When did you do this? I was in Edinburgh 7-9th Nov.
We were there on 16th
Best part of the video is you at 6am leaving the hotel in Edinburg with a reminder to subscribe to your channel 🤣 you’re a legend, mate! On a serious note, I really enjoyed the video, hope you can do more of this in the future!
I’d love to do more of these road trips, it combines two real loves - cars and travel. 👍👍👍
Very Interesting video
Glad you liked it Andrew - hoping to do another road trip this year (but on a larger scale)
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru look forward to it mate
Well done both of you, very interesting vid, I do wonder what that journey would have been like in another car, warts and all.
Well this was warts and all, I didn’t hold anything back. If we’d continued in Dennis’ £400 Fiesta that we took to Guildford it may have been quite a different video.
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru
Wasn't trying to dis what you have done Jim, the Warts and all bit refered to if it had been in a non Tesla, with perhaps not such good charging ability.
@@williamlee1703 I didn’t think you were 👌. We could have charged faster at a non Tesla charger (ionity for example) but chose to stick to Tesla to make it a little more difficult.
Interesting video. I've hired an id3 a few times now and love the whole ev experience. Would love to try a tesla. 👍
👍👍👍
Keep up the Tesla content 👊
I don’t get them very often but I’ll try
I've had my Tesla Model 3 since March. As I live in a flat I rely on public charging. Luckily I pass a Tesla Supercharger on my way to work. As far as the car itself goes I have no complaints whatsoever. The quality and finish is good and it is great to drive. I hear so many comments about panel gaps etc. They must have built my car on a good day.
Same here, I've only had 2 Tesla's on loan but both have been flawless.
Trips like this will become even easier once Gridserve - and others - have completed their installations....
And once the existing service stations get properly kitted out with reliable chargers. 👍
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Of course Jim.
Good video Jim, more ‘life with EV’ please to help bust any myths and help the transition. Btw did you share the driving?
I was the only one insured on the Tesla but Dennis drive us to Guildford and back🥲
Nice to see a review in an almost "real-life" scenario, I don't have an EV but I do regularly stop to stretch my legs in services along the route, I guess it is not too dissimilar.
Thank you Sir, yeah it really wasn’t an inconvenience (which was a big surprise)
Shared on Facebook TESLA Model Y group ! ..... 😘
I love you 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks for doing this trip and video. I saw a video on here where two guys took an EV and petrol car of same make/model from London to Leeds and compared the cost, and petrol was cheaper. Your point in your last video about VEL and costs for EV getting more expensive (esp over 40K) was well made. Interesting to see your journey with Tesla and just using Tesla chargers.
Thanks Alex 👍
I don't think petrol will be the cheaper option come next April......
@@Brian-om2hh there’s a surprise
To help the cause Jim, I've just watched your excellent video again! Alas I can't afford a Tesla but would welcome further videos. Ask Dennis whether he'd be up for a sequel in a mini electric. By way of preparation he must first lose a stone in weight and to encourage healthy eating, he's only allowed salads en route (which will take about a week!) Great work!
Haha! He’ll never agree to that, he was eating cold black pudding on the way home whilst I ate pumpkin seeds 👍
I enjoyed the video and I would be interested in seeing you doing something similar in a non-Tesla. Cheers!
Keith, two guys drove a Mk1 Nissan Leaf from John O Groats to Lands End - and back again - in 2016. They covered the 1653 miles in 48 hours. They then took a BMW i3 from Edinburgh to Monte Carlo in 60 hours. Oh, and once they'd done that, they entered and took part in the Mongolian Rally with a suitably prepared Leaf......
If this one does well and someone else will lend me something I almost certainly will.
Great video. Loved the presentation, very well paced, and the 16 mins flew by. The 2 big improvements that will help push EVs to the masses will be cheaper cars and denser batteries that will allow longer journeys, both of which are coming from China.
Glad you enjoyed it Richard, thanks. I think the market will change massively in the next 3 years with more availability of both new and used EV's that, although still not cheap, will be more affordable.
Great video. Proves a point about EV's.
Also nice to see Dennis. Was he banging on about public transport the whole way?
He certainly likes the Buzzzz 😃
Great that loads of people now know him as Dennis too!!
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Yeah, I did think that too. Just fits 🤣
I did the same route but in reverse coming back home to Surrey down the coast road and M1, that service station on the way back supplies pies I was suprised you didn't try the wild boar pies absolutly stunning. (like a pork pie but massive) being two fat geezers an all! Great video and was interested in the Tesla charging stations as so many complain they don't exist, you showed they do.
I identify as an athlete so no pies for me, Dennis had wild boar scotch eggs in the car (amongst other things) whilst I tucked in to a packet of seeds.
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Sad, Dennis was a lot happier than you then lol
@@hawklord100 very much so
I think your mate should be on your regular videos
Don’t say that, he’ll get a big head
You got good range given wind and rain increases resistance. With my EV would never visit a charging with less than 6 chargers
👍
Great video, good quality and good editing. The Tesla will be about £60k so too much for me and I've regularly done 600 miles in a diesel Mondeo in one day which cost me £1000 to purchase secondhand. 300 mile range is about where it needs to be but EVs have got to be nearer to £20k or sub-£200 PCP, though I think MG might get it there. If I get an EV now, I'll be paying 32p/kWh for home charging and saving over ICE fuel isn't much if any so staying with ICE is better for most for now. I know a couple of Audi e-tron GT owners and they bought them for the tax advantages but aren't impressed with the range at barely 200 miles.
The range on those Audi’s is extremely sub par for the price.
Another interesting video - you just need to book better weather next time! The ability to use their own dedicated charging network is a definite Tesla advantage- I can't really understand why they are going to share their charging network as this dilutes their USP as many other premium brands are catching up on range. As others have said, in the sub £35K/£250 per month sector where many motorists including myself reside, I remain unconvinced by current EV offerings and prefer the latest non plug in hybrids which allow some pure EV range for city streets and more economical fuel consumption on a longer journey. Keep up the videos - all really interesting.
Thanks Mike, seems crazy to give up such an amazing USP but I'm sure there's wisdom in there somewhere.
How you compare the comfort level of Model Y Vs other German brands??
It’s a really comfortable car, I loved it.
I know, I’m late to the party: sorry…. I watched more ads than normal as an apology 😬
Hello Dave 👋. Great vid Jim, entertaining as always 👍
I’m so old I can remember Tebay services before they perked up 🤣
Well done on the round trip you two…. I was having palpitations just looking at all that rain on the roads😳🤮
I asked Hetty if I needed to do the V- Check and she owned up to being a rally car, getaway vehicle and trainee tank! That explains her attitude with SUVs 😝🤩!
Haha, that rain was a nightmare to drive in. Thank God that day 2 was nice (when it mattered most!). Dave is Dennis by the way although his real name is Mark (I;ve just always called him Dennis but may now switch to Dave). 😃
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Uh 😐? I read Dave 🤣. Hi Dennis/Mark or whatever. Could be Ozzy, as soon as you mentioned Brum I thought of him 😉
@@h.bsfaithfulservant4136 let’s settle on Steve
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru 🤔😆👌
Another honest video. I have looked at a few different electric cars.I agree that Tesla interior is very cold and bland.
I actually like it, it’s different.
7.57,llf,Im just over a field from that factory.
come to Glasgow next.on an MG?
Get me an MG and I’d love to. I like Glasgow 👍
👌
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru anytime Jim,knock my door any probs.
As a Model 3 owner I'm sorely tempted by the Y. But living London, with it's conjested roads, is this car just a tad too large?
It is a big car. I’ve got a 500e on loan at the moment and something that size would be far better for London. A bit different though! Love the model 3 by the way.
Do we think the love affair with EVs is starting to die off?
Great video though!
I’ve never had one. It’d be like saying you adore diesels - there’s a big difference between a Peugeot 306d and a 540d. I’m totally objective about EVs as I as always am with any car. I really loved the car though regardless of the fuel. Thanks for watching.

Good video Jim, raising the debate about the diminishing financial benefits of fuelling an EV over combustion engine vehicles. Personally whilst I admire the instant torque of an EV I shall be a late adopter hanging on to the bitter end I’m sure.
