Tesla Model Y Coast to Coast Road Trip/Camp Mode 5,700 Miles!! - Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ส.ค. 2022
- I took our Tesla Model Y on the most epic road trip, from The Atlantic Coast in Florida, to the Pacific Coast in California. The total trip was 7 days and 5,730 miles!
During the trip, I took full advantage of the utility of the Tesla Model Y by utilizing Camp Mode to sleep in the car. I used the mattress I helped to develop, which is a combination of the comfort of foam, and the portability of and air mattress. This means its super comfortable, and more portable than foam. The foam inside combined with the 4 valves means it can inflate all on its own.
I also used my cooler/fridge that I have to bring drinks along and keep them nice and cool. During supercharging stops, I would usually grab a drink and stretch my legs. Most charging stops were about 25 minutes followed by a 2 hour drive.
My car is equipped with Full Self driving, but FSD Beta was turned off to not have any strikes. I used Autopilot/FSD for 95%+ of the trip as it makes driving distances like this a breeze. That coupled with the ease and convenience of the Tesla Supercharging Network makes for the ultimate road warrior car.
The California Tesla Takeover event hosted by Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley was located in San Luis Obispo, CA on Saturday. Over 2,300 people were in attendance, making it the largest Tesla event of the year. While there, I was able to sit down and interview Sandy Munro from MunroLive for an incredible exclusive and candid interview.
This dream trip was an incredible adventure and highlights how electric cars CAN be great options for long distance road trips. I will continue to take road trips as often as I can and personally prefer our Tesla Model Y for these adventures.

Spouse and I will be taking a 3900 mile road trip late September in our Tesla driving from Chicago to Vermont (fall colors), back to Chicago, and on to Arizona. We will be taking our time and camping the whole way. The packing is a bit more challenging with two people, but the Model Y has an amazing amount of cargo capacity. We like to stay at state parks along the way sleeping in the car and charging from a 50A electric post when possible. Our setup includes a Luno air mattress, TesCamp window blinds, and a Crown Shades popup canopy which we set up at our campsite for protection from sun and rain. We buy our food and drinks along the way cooking our evening meal outdoors in camp weather permitting. We stay at the campsite for a day (two nights) or more, then drive a full day covering about 500 miles to the next campsite. The car provides late evening entertainment (e.g. Netflix, TH-cam), and Tesla's Camp Mode keeps the perfect interior temperature all night for sleeping. Navigate on Autopilot, along with a couple 30 minute charging stops, makes driving a 500 mile day a snap. It's a fun and economical way to travel.
That’s awesome thanks for sharing
My wife and a I are both 75. We got our Y in February. We have 13000 miles on it. Our first three trips were 2000, 2000 and 3000 miles. We live in Boulder and travel to Vermont a couple of times a year. The trip to Vt and on to North Carolina this spring was 5000 miles. We are going to Vermont at the end of September. We stay in motels. We have had no problems charging. It’s fun driving our YLD.
Thanks for the info. I hope to make a road trip using your ideas soon.
So here I am on a Sunday night in my recliner, watching you drive coast to coast and I don’t even own a Tesla yet. But…. I pick up my MYLR in 3 days. Yay!
this is the way! Congrats!
I love watching these epic road trips.. thanks for your excellent efforts. looking forward to part 2
Glad you enjoyed! Part 2 on Friday!
This was fascinating to watch from Australia. It gave a great insight to what driving across the USA would be like. Thanks so much for all the content you put up. It’s great stuff!!
Appreciate you
So exciting to see this and seeing all the same stops I had to go to. I did a trip from LA to Orlando this past July, and I had a blast driving .
Excellent reporting! The addition of the minor things you encountered and forgetting your windshield cover is what makes this program great. It is exactly like what my trip would look like. Perfection does not create memories. But mess ups, you 'll always remember the time that..... And those are precious.
Haha yea. It was still an awesome trip. Even when you realize at midnight right before you’re about to go to sleep that you forgot something
Congratulations on the accomplishment and welcome to California. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you.
It was an amazing experience!
So happy for you man. I wish I was there to breath in some California dreaming and capture some of your positive vibes. Superb!
Thanks a ton!
Epic trip....can't wait for Part 2
Appreciate you
Very happy for you BTG. Glad you made it safe. Enjoy California.
Thanks a bunch!
so peaceful to watch 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome job. Love your channel. Keep up the great work.
Cheers
Congrats on the epic trip and interview. Your content is solid. I am May 2018 M3 owner with 125k miles. I have done your western leg many times though I don’t drive as late at night. Junction TX is my sleepover for Boca Chica adventures.
I love Tesla road trips. Kind of an adult at this point lol
Loved the video. I went from Texas to Cali and from Cali to Tennessee. I can’t imagine the coast to coast to almost coast. haha. I remember so many of these stops. Was absolutely worth it. Lots of good food and sketchy places haha. Looking forward to part two!
Cheers
You and Kayle are the only channels I spent more than 45+ mins to watch full video. Great video!
Haha appreciate you!
WOW what a great trip an experience of a life time…congratulations! the Tesla nav system and charging network is fantastic nothing comes close to it! one of the reasons why I bought a Model Y thank you again
I think the supercharging network is why every family wants a Tesla first
@@BeardedTeslaGuy it is why i bought my Model Y
“Am I crazy? Yes, I’m frickin’ crazy!” 😂. Epic road trip!!
Haha thanks. It was one for the books that’s for sure
Congrats man! What an accomplishment for you, your channel and Tesla!!! Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽
Thanks so much
Thanks for the excellent road trip...
Glad you enjoyed it
Tesla is the best vehicle I have ever roadtripped in. Got back from a 3k mile trip a month ago. Did a 500 mile trip 3 weeks ago and did a 300 mile day trip yesterday. Despite all that, I can't wait to hit the road again!
It’s nuts that it feels like that. Love road trips
“Rudy’s, no idea if it’s good…” LOL man I love that he was in for that surprise. Rudy’s is top notch.
It was so damn good!
Well done! Enjoyed your video!
Cheers
That’s awesome. I always worry about the reliability of these vehicles. This trip has given me the confidence to trust the vehicle
Cheers
Thanks for doing this video and sharing it, very informative and helpful! Glad you got to visit the best coast LOL! I guess when I get me MYLR I need to do a trip to FL
Heck yea! Nothing like a Tesla road trip
Super happy you get to do these trips what a great opportunity to reflect on the success of the channel!
Last trip we did ABRP was about 2/3 correct for the charging costs. Still not bad versus when gas was $5+ a gallon.
I use ABRP to pre plan all my road trips and it helps me figure out where I’m going to stop for the night along the way
@@BeardedTeslaGuy what do you mean…pre plan? How do you use ABRP? Do you use google maps or tesla maps and why? Sorry for the dumb questions. Just got myp a week ago and I am planning a one day camping trip up north state park in michigan with the wife🤓
My husband and I would totally go to the coast to start, lol. My two Aunts (87 and 85 years old) took delivery of Model Ys in May. One will not charge except at home no matter what we tell her.
Haha good for them!
Awesome video! Glad you made it with only 1 moderate concern.
Seriously. Otherwise it was uneventful. Freaking Honda
You've been crushing it....Keep It Coming!!! Tryna grow like The Beard Man!!!!!
Appreciate you
So nice to see the specific ocean.
Lol
@@BeardedTeslaGuy hey question for you. First sorry you got hit by the Honda. Did you ever get their information? Why did your wheel need to be replaced?
Liftgate light stays on all night when open. We used a tent that drapes over the open liftgate. Use a pen to flip the latch to closed position and light turns off. In the morning, push the "close" button to open the latch before closing the liftgate.
Good tip thanks for sharing
Great tip
No timer?
I can’t believe I just watched this whole thing! 🤣 I’ve had it Model Y since 2020 and we’re planning our first LONG trip in Spring from Wisconsin to Florida. Good info!
I’m glad you did watch the whole thing! It was an amazing experience and I’m glad I got to share it with y’all
He does the best road trips, they're informative and straight to the point. You should check out some of his other trips.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Mr. BTG, it is people like you, doing videos like this, which gave me the confidence to ditch my ICE car and go electric a year ago. And shortly after that I took my first cross-country drive in my MYP, Texas to Nevada and back. And yes, Rudy's BBQ is good eats!
Another great trip BTG, I can't wait to make my journey from WV to FL in September. When the video hit the 6:40 mark you were crossing over the water into my happy place. Oh and don't be ashamed of listening to a little Pink Floyd once in a while.
Haha, every time it comes on I always ask my dad, “what were you guys up to back then?!?!”
Love it - I wanted to car camp on my move from Portland to Cleveland but had too many last minute things in the car + our two dogs. I did tape a flexible solar panel plus a charger/inverter/battery so I could make coffee and heat up food via some mini crockpots. Some superchargers have no food or other services.
Smart idea
Great idea!
I drive from Los Angeles to Chicago twice a year in my Model Y. So easy and have had no problems whatsoever. Last year did a 7300 mile trip which included Nashville, Mt. Rushmore, Eugene Oregon to test drive a Arcimoto FUV and Oakland to visit family.
So awesome thanks for sharing
loved the video, Justin!
So glad to hear it
Absolutely loved the video… congrats man, really great attitude even after the challenges you faced. Hope the Honda driver gets to see and pay for the damage. 👌🏻
Appreciate you and glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!
Great video. Thanks for the content. Hope everything turned out ok w insurance on that mishap w the Honda
Your best video yet. We'll done!
Glad you think so!
I wish I had the time to make the trip in my Tesla. I love driving my Y all the time.
Tesla road trips are the best
Love that you took the time to hit the East coast before heading West. Stupid, maybe. Worth it, totally! 👍
Agree 100%!
You're awesome!
Appreciate you
Those drinks and snacks explains a lot
Great Road Trip plan! 😎
Love the packing strategy. We'll done!
I'd love to see how you'd do it for 2 adults.
Cheers, Eric
Well 2 adults, or do you mean me and my wife? My wife packs a lot of stuff for trips…
@@BeardedTeslaGuy hahaha
Yes. You and your wife! My wife is a Heavy packer too. Lol
Now we're in trouble!
Cheers, Eric
Just got my Y. Great video, makes me want to take a road trip. I also have a Onewheel pint on order for longer charging sessions.
Nothing better than a Tesla road trip!
You are amazing
Appreciate you
Really enjoyed watching the trip. Hopefully I can make the same trip next year.
You’ll love it!
Amazingly to see how cool you reacted with the Honda collision.here in Netherlands I got crazy I guess....love your videos a lot by the way!😀
Thanks for watching!
Thoroughly enjoyed this! I hope you got that fender bender repaired.
Glad you enjoyed it! I did get everything taken care of
Thanks!
Thanks so much, I appreciate you!
Cool trip!
cheers
Awesome trip. Seems like the Hondas followed you to the garage. Glad you got it all sorted though with the wheel. You were my inspiration to upgrade to the model 3 rwd. I hope to have exciting road trips as well. My mini can’t keep up with road tripping. It was a great training car to learn more about evs.
These cars have changed my life
I recently drove from North of San Fransisco to South Bend Indiana and it was 21 supercharger stops - cross country is absolutely doable. I have a Exped MegaMat Auto for sleeping and keep a 30quart fridge in there too. I love my MYP.
Thanks for sharing, sounds like you had a successful trip!
Great video, thanks for sharing. A friend of mind went from denver to Spokane model Y right under 2000 miles. He paid $90 dollars in charging fees ,
Thanks for sharing
It can be done... Wife and I have done it twice already in our Model 3... I-10 one way and Amarillo/Mobile the way back. It is fun to stop and visit places such as Houston, NM, etc. Have fun =)
It was an amazing trip!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Indeed. Plus you get to visit different places that you may not even know existed. NoAP helps a lot.
Kudos to Tesla for getting the trip estimates close. I recently road tripped 210 miles to Fish Lake Utah, a destination that is at 8500ft elevation, a big climb at the end of the trip. I joked that the 24% estimate would be used up if I ever make it to the lake. I was surprised it maintained 24% except for the times I drove over posted limit or passed someone. I arrived with 18% remaining. Sure will take away range anxiety on future trips.
Yea, it’s actually always been pretty good, and continues to get even more accurate
I have the same fridge, its the perfect size and the electric scooter is super useful for getting around town.
Cheers
Awesome trip! We did a Colorado Springs to Orlando stopping in San Antonio so a lot of these stops were the same.
Yea it’s pretty desolate out there so you don’t have a choice in some areas lol
Funny story. We have stayed at that Holiday Inn in Willcox, AZ twice. That's some of the darkest areas in the lower 48. It's a great place to do Astrophotography. I love Tucson also! Amazing place.
That’s a good tip! I did some night photography on my way through and it turned out pretty decent
What a fun video! Thanks for documenting. Sorry about that Honda (my non tesla vehicles are Hondas, but haven't done anything like that).
Lol
I had to laugh, you were sooo stoked to be at the ocean on the left coast. Good on you, BTG!
Lol. It was an amazing accomplishment on my bucket list.
It’s so crazy how much distance you can cover coast to coast in just 1 hour 12 mins.
haha
Dude I love your enthusiasm and would love to do this. I’m excited to take delivery of my M3 RWD in November….just wish my wife felt the same as I do. 🤨
Road tripping in a Tesla is amazing
@@BeardedTeslaGuy As a current ICE driver, the concept of not filling to 100% every time is confusing. Can you shed some light on that? Hoping to join the Tesla community in November. 👍🏻
@@73av8r5 The idea is simple: you only need to charge enough to reach the next charging destination. If you are going from place A to place B, and the computer says to reach B you should leave A with 60% state of charge, then there is no reason to charge past 60%. Don't worry, there is a margin included so that you don't arrive at B with zero percent battery. Additionally, the time it takes to charge is not linear. When the battery state of charge is low, charging is very fast. As the battery gets more "full", the rate of charging slows. At the risk of over-generalizing, to go from 0% to 50% charge is very fast. To go from 50% to 100% takes a long time. So if you don't NEED to charge to a high percentage, you save a lot of time by not doing so! Only fill up as much as you need, not as much as you can.
@@aguywithcats Thanks. I guess I knew that….It’s such a different way of thinking it’s gonna take some getting used to.
Thanks for taking the Southern route. I live in midwest and during the winter months I use the I44/I40 corridor with my ICE vehicle. I'v been waiting for someone to do a long trip in a Telsa. I consider a a long trip to begin at 5,700 miles which I have done many times. I am watching this to see how you do crossing the Mojave. The last time I made this trip Mojave ICE stations were down due to a power outage and I had to pay $7 USD/gallon for gas.
Ouch, that’s steep gas prices
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Flat tires, minor accidents and bad drivers are a common site on a 5,700 mi road trip so I am glad you included that in your video. Just so you know with the exception of AZ. I find it easier to drive the Interstate highways rather than diverting to state roads. Reason, many ICE fuel stations are disappearing and I waste time trying to find open ICE fuel stations as many have closed.
That's a trip we would too bro! And ya, EVs are here to stay. We ride EUCs already! Careful on your drives. Driving a Tesla helps for sure!!!
Cheers
Great video! That was quite a trip damn... you are way nicer than I am, I would have chased that honda until I ran out of battery lol I never considered electric cars, never even looked at them, thought they were pimped out golf carts, a complete waste of money and time. Last weekend we drove to the city to shop for a new car for my wife, we drove past a tesla showroom, my wife really wanted to test drive the go carts, I didnt want to but figured meh it'll make her happy, she'll hate it and we'll never talk about it anymore... well I discovered a whole new level of customer service, I found out why there is almost a cult surrounding tesla, we fell in love with those cars so badly that we drove back out of the showroom with one the same day... even the kids fell in love, and they're used to the space/ comfort of minivans. I cant believe I waited that long to get into one, I cant wait to have some free time so that we can take the tesla on a long trip, those things are so fun to drive, the planning and navigation to chargers etc. makes it feel almost like planning a flight. I've always considered driving to be a waste of time, so we'd always try to take the plane instead of driving, especially on vacation, now it feels like driving somewhere will be a fun part of the trip, your video got me even more pumped! minus the crazy drivers out there...
about to watch the whole video, i just got my model 3 rwd after 6 months!!! It’s a very fun ride so far and the speed is phenomenal even though its a rwd, I also got used to the regen braking it was kind of weird getting use to it since i was driving a gas car before, but these cars are definitely fun to ride in I would recommend them to anyone ‼️
Nothing like it on the road!
I have one on order….I’ve been driving a Tundra for almost 10 years so this will be quite a change. I’m ready. Glad you love yours. 👍🏻
@@73av8r5 it definitely going to be a big change i was driving my moms dodge grand caravan to work and to appointments and it is a big change, but trust me i got impatient during the wait process but it is definitely worth the wait !! congrats on ur order :)
@@XDBREEEZY I have my RED Model 3 (RWD) on order since June. My est. Delivery is Sept 12th! I'm so excited. Question.. I was wondering how 'quick' the RWD is?? I know its not a PERFORMANCE but does it have a nice SPEED to it?? Glad you enjoy your new Car!
@@SanDiegoTeslaGuy Have you driven one? I guarantee you it’s quicker than anything else you’ve driven. And silent too. 🙏🏻
Congrats on the Coast to Coast. Really sorry about the fender bender. It would be cool to have a gather of Tesla owners doing some thing like that annually. Gather & Go convention. Tesla Trek.
Would be cool for sure
Well done. Nice tips and details on going on a long trip. V3s are quite a bit better than V2s.
V3 makes all the difference
I look forward to hitting the road in our Tesla one day!
Wawa started out as a convenience store without the gas station. They than added on the gas part. I’m in NJ and have Wawa all over.
Yea and it’s great!
Justin, I have to say, this was the most practical real world Tesla video I’ve watched… and I’ve watched dozens since ordering my MYLR (which I pick up in 3 days) I watched the whole thing and learned a lot of things despite all of the other videos I’ve seen for others. Some items included map calculation nuances, how much charge camping mode takes per hour, how to handle it when you get to a low output charger etc. While subtle, these tips add up. This is my favorite vid so far related to a Tesla. I am planning a 900+ road trip in a few months and this has been really beneficial. One tip for you: … next time pack a night mask so even if one of the windows is leaking light, you’ll never notice. I am curious what your perfect goal is for charge left upon arriving at a destination. I am guessing 10 to 15%?
glad you enjoyed it! I usually like to arrive closer to 5%, anything else is just charging too long in an ideal world
Wow! You got to charge at Buc-ees! The ones I’ve been to don’t have chargers (yet), but it is the most natural location ever. I will stop there almost every time.
Yea it’s a cool place
Dude I live in orlando also. And the thought of getting on 528 to head in the opposite direction of my route is insane. That’s commitment. 😂😂😂😂
Haha, I had to do it though!
Wow doesn’t do it. An amazing video. Love your disposition and how you seem to take things in stride. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is fantastic man！I’ve always wanted to do sth like this. I live in Boston, would like to drive to cali one day.
You’ve gotta do it
Love your videos BTG! Thanks for your tax credit updates too!
I have our Model Y on order and debating adding EAP from the start. It looks like you use it extensively. Do you think it is worth it vs regular AP. We do plan on keeping the care for a while. Thanks again for all you do.
It’s totally worth it if you do highway driving and road trips.
Awesome video!!!💯💪🏾 I own a model y.I will be doing a video also from Florida to Pittsburgh.
Cheers
Congrats on the amazing trip! Glad you’re safe and that the ppf turned an incident into lower cost fix. And then…. The Honda. Hope the repair goes well.
Cheers
@@BeardedTeslaGuy question for ya - looking into doing drive protected ppf myself. Would you recommend the one piece bumper option or multiple piece bumper option? What are the pros and cons of these options? (Model Y EDD is getting closer - pulled in from Sept - Oct 23rd to Sept to Oct 15th. 😀)
@@radicalradzik I have the 1 piece and the 3 piece is new. The 1 piece will be harder to install, but will not have lines to line up. The 3 piece will be easier to install, require less stretching, but will also require lining up edges on the various pieces.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Thank you! I'm digging Eric's install videos. Lots of great tips and wisdom. So jazzed that we'll likely have our first Tesla - 2022 Model Y in 6-8 weeks.
You’ve made me want to drive my model 3 from England to southern Spain to my little villa… thanks a lot! 😂😂😂 it’s only 1400 miles each way for me though haha
Do it!
Late to the party... but, recently (Sun, 8-21 @10pm to Mon, 8-22 @10pm) did a 24hr trip from Bel Air, MD to the REI in Columbia, SC to pick up a INNO Wedge Plus 865 Rooftop Cargo Box in my '21 MYP. 1,118 miles in total.
My 1st ever experience w/ Buc-ees (in Florence, SC) was an AWESOME rest/ charging stop on the 95 corridor. Enjoy your content🤙
Sounds like your living the right Tesla life!
OMG, my Y was supposed be delivered Jan15-Mar5. I got an update that it will be ready for delivery on Sep1 - 13. That means my trip to Orlando in a few weeks will be a Tesla road trip. Thanks for all the charging tips.
That’s so awesome, congrats!
When we in the UK we pick up a pebble on beach of the nothing sea and and take it across the UK to through it into Irish sea. Also people have started driving from John o groats to lands end and timing themselves whilst charging I think as proof usually doing the trip in one day.
that sounds like fun to me!
You had to say...."it was a RETROACTIVE Honda!"
Hahahahaha. Have I gotten the message across on rebates not being retroactive yet?
@@BeardedTeslaGuy lol BESIDES REBATES, HONDAS CAN BE TREATED THE SAME IF THEY ARE YOUR WORST ENEMY
I also was planning on getting an eScooter when I eventually get my Tesla to ride when charging! LOL
It just works lol
nice
So nice
A OneWheel fits in the fronk of the Y and is a much more fun "goof off/travel around" vehicle for supercharging stops.
I have considered, but the wife cant use it so we went with the scooter.
How is it that I've already watched 5 of so of your travel videos?! Very engaging. Can't wait for my Long Range Y to arrive next month (but who knows? 7 delivery date changes already! Grr)
Its cocaine for Tesla reservation holders ha.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy It really is lol. That's all I do all day long is watch Tesla videos. I guess I'll have to join the club of content providers once I get my car :-)
I want to do that cost to cost on my Tesla as well Awesome video
Cheers
Nice work Justin, enjoyed the whole trip
,
Feel bad 0:02 for the Honda mess. I hope honda insurance covered your damage. I am
Not a Tesla owner yet but thinking about jt, I work from home so I hardly drive 10-30 miles a week lol, I was about to buy Y but hold off till January as I extended my lease for few months as there is lot happening g with Tesla and Y, HW4 l, new HL and may be a new battery, APR might come down, so I think I took a right decision to hold off but hooked watching Tesla video, specially yours, shock to see you do not get mileage what you should at 80% battery but I get it it depends
On speed, elevation.
The covered the repairs, not the diminished value though
So funny you felt the urge to go to the coast before setting off properly. Shame about the windshield cover, thank goodness for Target and PPF.
Indeed. But it all worked out in the end
Another great video man, well done!Question, you recommend sleeping at hotel parking lots while on the road like this? Are you not worried about getting kicked out by security in the middle of the night?
I usually park like that. I started parking at super chargers this trip and still don’t have any issues
My ears perked up when I heard “Central Florida”. I’m from Orlando but have been in Nebraska for 26 years thanks to the Air Force. We’re in the process of opening a business in Titusville and hope to be back within the next year. I drive a model 3…best car I’ve ever owned. Dig your channel…
Pro tip: The emphasis is on the second “a” in Alachua, not on the “u”. 😂
Haha thanks for the clarification. We are loving it here so far. Can’t find a snow shovel anywhere in this state 😎☀️☀️🌴
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Where did you move from and how long ago? Finding a house in Central Florida is challenging, unless you don’t mind your house being only 7 feet from your neighbors. 😂
It's pronounced uh-latch-oo-wa. It's an old Indian word that means sinkhole. Cool video! Getting my model Y next week and I'm super excited.
Yea, if you have never heard people say the name of some of these locations, it is really hard to guess pronunciation. It was an amazing trip though!
Great ride coast to coast! Thanks, BTG. Just FYI and not to be disrespectful, the towns you mentioned are pronounced: Cabazon = ka-ba-ZONE and San Luis Obispo = san-loois-o-BIS-po. Also glad to see you are headed to Pismo Beach (PIZ-mo), it's a nice little beach town - growing leaps and bounds but still lots of local atmosphere. Cheers and drive safely.
Cheers
I believe the one is pronounced, ka-ba-zon.......no long "O" sound.
Would have love to see this trip with the Rivian you rented….that would have been epic! 🤙
Some day I will have to do a Rivian road trip for sure. Will be interesting to see how the really long range couples with the less than ideal EA charging network.
Outstanding video as usual. Question, so it just took 7 days round trip?
Including a day at the event yes
Crazy!!! I think I was behind you in the Mobile, Alabama tunnel. BTW, D'Iberville, is pronounced "Dee-aber-ville" :)
Haha if you saw the Florida plates, it was me!
Great vid please do more like these
Also if you had a gas car you would save like 48 hours
Haha I think charging was about 8 hours total for this if I remember correctly
it will nice to try florida to alaska
Epic trip
Awesome video! You're not quite a Floridian yet. Alachua is uh-LATCH-ooh-AH
Haha I can’t pronounce them all just yet
Rudy’s bbq… you haven’t even scratched the surface of good Texas BBQ 50:47
I need to be taught! Always up for a BBQ lesson!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I’m no expert myself, but there’s some amazing bbq places in Texas. Blacks in lockhart, blackboard bbq in sisterdale, Cruz in maypearl, coopers in llano… just to name a few. Rudy’s honestly is pretty good in my opinion, but any of the above would put Rudy back on the sidelines.
