I have never driven through that part of the country. Thank you for sharing the magnificent views. I am thinking about placing an order for a new Tesla Model S LR Black (like yours) in the next month or two (still convincing myself that I need a Tesla), instead of perhaps a "rental property", then I will strongly consider a road trip through Colorado and Utah.

Great video man! I just took my model 3 LR to florida and back, not nearly as scenic, but you’re right about it being a joy to ride in. Best roadtrip ever. I have a similar situation to your key mark too. 3 door dings in 3 months. People really do hate a clean tesla for some reason

Will admit that it was a little scary at times. No cell reception for miles and gravel roads that the Michelins weren't designed for. Huge relief when we got back on solid pavement.
I think it depends on whether you want to go faster than any person reasonably needs to in what's likely to be heralded as one of the crowning achievements of modern engineering or you want to go even faster in the Plaid.
Great video!! Awesome to hear how the range held up and that’s with the 21”wheels. I’m really considering trading in our Model3P for an S. I just really love the 3, dang it’s so hard!
Try to weigh the pro and cons like mentioned above, but note the changed steering. This will likely have better driving dynamics but may not be worth the extra money to some
great video, like your style. Enjoy the car, its going to get a few scratches here and there but the main thing as that you enjoy the trips you take with your family
Great video! I love to see people driving their Teslas. I’ve driven my 2021 M3 LR AWD 12,000 miles in 4.5 months and yes it has paint chips from tons of hwy miles, but who cars. Get out and enjoy it!
That's a beautiful car and thanks for the great video. I can't wait to get mine also MS LR all black like yours. Me and my wife are very excited and go for a long road trip.
Oh it does. The new Model S LR have done 1/4 mile traps in the 130's so it's like the Plaid in respects to it continues to pull hard up to the limiter.
I live in Henrietta, TX. I wish I would’ve been around the truck stop when you were there. And you went through Farmington or Bloomfield which is where I grew up at until I was 17 when I moved out. It’s funny because I used to drive past the Colorado sign everyday to go to work.
Also, with all of that being said. If you need a place to stay on your way back, I have a couple extra bedrooms and I’m only about 5 miles outside of Henrietta.
Hey Erik, thank you for the video it’s very useful and informative. I hope you and your family enjoyed the trip. I do have question - how many miles did you get on full charge? Many thanks in advance.
Next time, please show charge rates and talk about how many miles were added with each stop. My wife and have a 2018 model s and are excited to see what the long range difference will be when it arrives.
thanks for the video! especially helpful to see the paint on the car after your trip. i'm getting my long range within the next couple of weeks! do you recommend the PPF? it seems like it would definitely be a good idea, but i'm on the fence because of the added expense
Highly recommended! I have it on my other cars and have a roll of 3M waiting to go on this one. Just didn’t have time to install and went raw on this trip.
Panel gap on driver side is very visible. How is that overall quality of your model S built. What is the maximum range you got? Were you driving on speed limit? Or the range gets effect if you do around 80-90mph?
Hey Erik, can you share your experience about the range you were getting during your road trip? I’m curious to know if you were close to achieving 300 miles between recharging.
Averaging 320Wh/mile so far. If the pack is 100kWh, that comes out to over 300 miles on a full charge. In practice, I was ready to stop and charge after 3 hours in the car (less than 300 miles). It has been nice to pull in to Supercharger locations with over 100 miles remaining and only spend 15-20 minutes getting enough to continue on the trip. On this entire trip so far, we've only been at one hotel that had a destination charger. The extra range and 250kW charging capability makes such a difference. Range anxiety is not a thing with this car.
@@ogdastarwalker8341 he drives fast which obviously decreases efficiency. If you drive 65-75 and not flooring it, you should be able to get 365+ Miles real world range.
Whomever did that to the car is an @$$-hat!! Why damage another person’s property? That car and that family have done nothing to you? I just can’t believe the pettiness of some people. I give Erik credit for not letting it ruin his family vacation. Good video - family car trips are so memorable.
It cracks me up how people think you can’t take a Tesla through a touch less car wash. I do all the time.I just avoid the ones that pull you through it.
Can you comment on the yoke controls, Marques Brownlee stated it was really hard to not push by mistake or take your eyes off road to find them. Do you find that to be the case?
Finally got around to watching his video, and have similar feelings. For me it's great, but as a technologist I'm used to trying and adapting to new things. For people who have decades of experience with a traditional wheel and stalks, it might be a tough shift (pun intended).
Eric - I was wondering if you had any issues with your LR that required you to take it to the Service Center? As you may know lots of us who are waiting for our LR with 19” wheel have received EDD in October and November. I had placed my order on March 10. There is a hypothesis that the delay is due to some inherent problems with the first batch of refreshed S cars and not sourcing of 19” wheels.
About to cross 8k miles and no issues. I just had a mobile service tech over to replace the 12V in my 3 and asked him if he'd worked on any refreshed S'es. None so far.
I'm a U2 fan and yet I cant figure out which song is playing at 6:23. BTW, your trip video was great, in fact, it was even better than the real thing. ;)
Being so calm after your new car was keyed takes a new level of zen. Hopefully you caught the sad person on camera. I gotta say though, 6 days from Texas to Seattle seems like a very long time, even for a road-trip. It would have taken half that time in an ICE car. It's the last Achilles' heel of electric cars.
Unfortunately not, it happened on the one night that Sentry was not on. 6 days was only because we planned to spend 6 hours driving per day and a few hours sight seeing. I'd previously done Texas to California in two days solo. Pretty confident that I could've done this in 3-4 days by myself.
Thanks! No complaints about the ride. Actually just had the yoke replaced under warranty yesterday after the upholstery came undone and rubbed off. Hopefully they've updated it with a more durable material.
@@ErikRobertson Thanks for the response. Good to know. I picked up mine up today and drove it back from Dallas to Austin. What a HUGE upgrade from my Model 3. Night and day difference tbh. Im concerned about the tires picking up nails as wide as they are. Do you carry a spare or a flat kit with you?
@@oscarreynaable Congrats! Yep, I haven't missed my Model 3 at all. And yes, very valid concern! We've been through 6 tires in the past year between our LR and Plaid. The tire warranties from Discount Tire are worth every dollar. They'll warranty the tire even if you didn't buy from them. I have a plug kit in each car just in case for long trips.
I tried it on one hairpin turn where there was a guardrail and it worked fine. Rest of the time… nope! Someone else can do that and share the experience 😄
Just didn't have time to do it. The trip was planned well before this car was in the picture. Will be doing a vinyl wrap on it soon, so I can live with a few chips.
Annoying how the new Model S doesn’t come with the option of a traditional steering wheel. As my dad is an older fella in his 60’s who is just used to a round wheel. Convincing him to let alone get a Model 3 was a challenge. Now he wants to upgrade to an S but he can’t because of the yoke:(
Hard to say, they're both great cars. If I was doing a track day, M3P. Lighter and better handling. Long trips and regular commuting, S LR. More comfortable and has more passing power on the highway.
Bro you have got to get some protective film on that car! How you gonna buy an expensive car like that and not spend a Lil extra to protect it 🤦♂️ great video though!
@@ErikRobertson Wow interesting, I ordered a model X I'm expecting delivery in September. I currently own a 2017 model X I ordered the refresh mainly for the extra range. Thanks for the info I think this would make a great video.
this scratch is more likely to have happened from the car wash, from the nasty brushes! You had to clean it by hand, but everyone decides for themselves!
Wash was touch free, no brushes. Checked it over afterward and no damage. It mostly polished out. Car is currently wrapped with 3M vinyl, so it's a distant memory.
@@ErikRobertson Interesting. Pretty clear EAP/FSD depreciate like stone. I really like lane change on trips, so I will be subscribing for months I'm road tripping.... What do you like most the extra space, power, range, and/or other item about this car over your 3? If so, in what order?
@@TedKidd Highway power (60-90 is incredible), range and efficiency. Averaging 320Wh/mi so far from Seattle back to Houston. Smoother ride on long trips with air suspension, and I’m loving the seats with integrated cooling.
Remotely any info about the car itself. Energy consumption, real range and velocity, cost, comfort, yoke on long trips... Can you write something about these topics or create more technical video?
Still have the return trip to make. Wasn't sure how to condense 6 days of driving into 10 minutes, but I'll keep this in mind next time. For this trip, roughly 320-350Wh/mi going 85-90mph when road conditions allowed. Car was very comfortable and no issues with the yoke.
@@ErikRobertson that’s very amazing My lifetime 29185 miles with a 324wh/mi in my performance 3. 20” wheels. I believe your battery in 101kw I ordered a Plaid with 19” black like yours with white carbon interior. Kinda over worrying about messing up rims.

Thanks for all your videos Erik - really good for us who have not yet made up our minds on whether to order the LR or Plaid.

Yes, has Cheetah Stance as well as the Raven suspension. Pretty much everything the Plaid has minus one motor.

What does the range read when you're fully charged? I saw a video from another you tuber he can't get his to over 347 miles.

Remotely any info about the car itself. Energy consumption, real range and velocity, cost, comfort, yoke on long trips... Can you write something about these topics or create more technical video?
Thanks for the heads up! Saving me 10 minutes.
Still have the return trip to make. Wasn't sure how to condense 6 days of driving into 10 minutes, but I'll keep this in mind next time. For this trip, roughly 320-350Wh/mi going 85-90mph when road conditions allowed. Car was very comfortable and no issues with the yoke.
@@ErikRobertson that’s very amazing
My lifetime 29185 miles with a 324wh/mi in my performance 3. 20” wheels.
I believe your battery in 101kw
I ordered a Plaid with 19” black like yours with white carbon interior.
Kinda over worrying about messing up rims.
You sound tired and bored. Cool trip.
Did you spend the entire trip in the passing lane? SMH 🤦♀️
Only while passing, which happened pretty regularly. I hate left lane bandits with a passion.
