I had just watched this very enjoyable video and was disapprovingly shaking my head at the filth of your truck bed and grime in your door shuts. Then I remembered the channel name! Oh how I chuckled…….. Keep on Cybertruckin’ guys!
I had the Model Y for a little over 2 years and we took it twice to Akron Ohio from Brevard County Florida. It took about 25% longer with frequent stops for charging; however, we were more rested when we got there. We drove straight through leaving at 3am, arriving around 10pm both times. The Autopilot and forced breaks just made for such a more enjoyable trip than usual. Faster isn't always better... Can't wait to do it in the new CyberTruck. Not going to do it in the winter with all the salt on the roads. :D
Same experience for me. Coast to coast, twice. Last time, when I heading east I took a long loop through Michigan's UP and Ontario. FSD in Canada! Those little movements to keep a vehicle in the lane are fatiguing. Not in a Tesla. I regularly drive up to my boat 65 miles away. I did that round trip twice in four days a few months ago, no road fatigue at all. I also like sleeping in my Model Y LR. Parked of course. Memory foam mattress, good mem foam pillow, sleeping bag and liner, Camp Mode better than any hotel. Unless I need a shower or the toilet my Tesla is always my first choice. I like to charge in the evening, and then move over a slot from the Supercharger and bunk up. No one ever gives a Tesla near a Supercharger a second look.
You're right Chris ... and I totally agree about BEV's vs ICE vehicles. Most people don't get how easy and relaxing travel can be in a Tesla due to the Supercharging Network. We leave for a 4 hour 500 mile RT to the CA North Coast in our Model X with two 60lb ebikes on a hitch mounted rack. The range loss due to the bikes is 15-20%. It will still be one 30 minute stop to charge as we are going the longer coastal route to meet friends for lunch tomorrow on the way. The comfort of the X and FSD will make the trip far less taxing and we will get to our coastal destination ready to go for the next three days. We will put the X on a very convenient Supercharger (always mostly empty for our return trip while taking one last 30 mile ride along a coastal bike trail and having lunch at our favorite seafood restaurant. The car will be charged to 100% as it will be from home due to our solar home charging and we will make it home with no charge stops due to a slightly different non-coastal route through the California redwoods and the Napa wine country. There is just something peaceful about riding in a comfortable quiet BEV through beautiful, natural surroundings that is very different than the same trip in an ICE vehicle. We have done this trip many times on our previous Range Rover and although that was a very nice comfortable car, the difference is noticeable. We both have Tesla's now and are never going back to ICE.
@@DirtyTesla if I plug mine into a USB-PD port on another power supply it works fine, but it won't power up from my model X ports. Maybe I should try some of the other USB-C ports in there just in case...
Love this kind of video! Having the whole family around is really relatable. Stephanie’s thoughts are always appreciated too. I can’t wait to get my wife using FSD, but she’s still a little cautious around it. V13 is slowly convincing her!
when we were young and had 3 girls we used to go in the minivan. awesome memories one suggestion we found was an island called marco island. great beach, parks for kids and so on. give it a try!
I get it. Since getting my Model S 3 years ago my wife never has to drive on road trips anymore...and she hates driving. And we take lots of road trips. I'm never tired when we travel now. I don't have any driver assistance either since the Model S is a 2013.
The bowling ally is a good stop off of 95. I used to live by you in Brighton about 15 years ago, now in NC. I watch as much to see my old stomping grounds but I love roadtrip videos. Thanks for sharing
Happy new year mate 😊 Take care out there at the moment 😊 Edit: also RE charge times, I don’t think road trips are the big issue. It would be a little annoying for me as I enjoy driving and find it relaxing (same reason FSD really isn’t for me personally) and having to stop to charge all the time would mean I would have to take a lot more breaks than I currently do. The bigger issue for me is everyday use if you can’t charge at home. Supercharging is pretty expensive and having to wait at a charger for an hour before / after work would kinda suck.
I live in Columbus Ohio and know the stretch down 33 that doesn’t have superchargers. If you have a CCS adapter you could look at a Francis Energy charger at a gas station just south of Lancaster Ohio. It’s a good stop and charges about as fast as a V2 Supercharger would. It’s honestly a bit weird there aren’t any Superchargers in Lancaster or Athens or one of the other smaller towns like Logan or whatever.
Snowbirds! 😂 I’ll bet it was a great roadtrip for sure! The beautiful thing with the cybertruck and FSD is the wheels are so big that you can just go over any road imperfections without needing to intervene. Truly hands free driving experience!
Just finished a 3200 mile roadtrip in my Y. Been thinking about the trade off speeding up to burn more energy to get to the charger at a lower SOC vs slowing down a bit to get to the charger with a higher SOC so there’s less energy needing delivered vs higher power at a lower SOC. Would love a deep dive by you DT!
My intuition says you burn more energy going faster than you’d save in the time savings from your speed resulting in more energy needing delivered to the vehicle which would be a longer charging session.
EV ownership is amazing, most can do 3 hours of driving at which point I want to stop and get a drink, use the rest rooms, or find food. The EV is often ready before me. You have driven an amazing distance bearing in mind I live in England and 300 miles gets me from my home, to Cornwall in the south west of England or all the way to Scotland.
Don’t forget to mention that pumping gas in bad weather means you are standing there for minutes, then have to run inside and pay. Charging means 10 seconds to plug/unplug, and the rest in the comfort of your car, with entertainment! Love it.
@@JBS7551In some areas it’s common for gas stations to remove the pump trigger locks. It wasn’t til I moved out of my hometown that I even knew trigger locks were a thing
Yep especially when you have Tesla lifetime Free SC . This was the final straw that pushed my purchases dual motors foundation. For austin Texas , there are only 3 cyber beast on site . All the dual foundation sold.
Early on in our Tesla ownership we tried stopping to get some food before going to the supercharger and had a similar experience where it took at least half an hour to get the food and since then I vowed to only ever go straight to the supercharger get the car plugged in and then walk to get food. If the food is too far away then sometimes I just ride my onewheel to go get the food and bring it back to the family at the car. I am mostly speaking for long distance road trips where we are traveling 12-18 hours of travel in one day and we really cannot afford long delays.
Bottom line - if you enjoy road trips in an ICE car, you'll enjoy road trips in an EV. If you don't really enjoy them and simply go to your destination as fast as you can to get it over with; an EV isn't going to make it better for you (though, despite yourself, you'll be fresher at your destination).
This was a great video. Thanks for all the info you provided. I noticed there were no warning to place your hands on the steering wheel, is that normal with the cibertruck?
I just made the same trip to FL from NJ. FSD was a game changer. Saw a lot of cyber trucks especially by chargers. FSD was great but there were times it would hug the yellow line, which is hair raising when concrete barriers are like a foot off the yellow line. So I had to take over a lot in those situations. Weird because it would only happen when it was open on my right side. When a truck or other vehicle was in the right lane, the CT would move away from the yellow line toward the vehicles in the right lane. The opposite of what I would want. So basically it would bias itself toward the potentially dangerous objects.
If you find a bad supercharger remove the handle from the dock and drop the charger cable and handle on the bottom of the charger, this alerts other supercharger user's to avoid that charger pedestal.
22:24 The FSD took you into upcoming traffic. It went to the turning lane on the left side of the double yellow line. I'm surprised that you didn't correct it and just let it go the wrong way.
As time goes on I become more convinced I'll buy a CT one of these yrs. (I always wait until the early production teething problems are largely fixed, no hurry)
We're on year 4 of being a Tesla-only household and the network opening in our area has started proving really problematic on holidays. The three superchargers we rely on are all now choked with Rivians and F-150s, which have much longer charge times. I'd be happier waiting to charge if there was some kind of formal system, but you're just relying on everyone being civil during the most politically charged time in decades. Not a great situation. Also Tesla's wipers have never been worse and FSD finally being great makes it absolutely infuriating. We desperately need a bluetooth IR sensor or some such to help.
How come you don’t usually pull in all the way when using the superchargers? I personally get paranoid the cord is never long enough so I always basically back right up to it and almost touch it because I’ve had times where the cord needs more slack and it becomes an inconvenience
I hear you guys like energy drinks... Have you tried out "Holy" Energy drinks yet? It's a powder you just mix in water, shake it, done. All natural flavors, no sugar and 50:50 mix of NewCaff / caffeine. I bought it like 3 weeks ago and I'm now addicted. ;D I can recommend Raspberry Raptor, but all 7 flavors I've tested are pretty nice :)
Great video as usual! I’ve noticed Hurry mode on FSD in MY AI4 would go above the speed limit to, what I assume is, a set maximum you input. Have you experienced this in the Cybertruck on the Hurry profile so that it gets in front of slower moving cars?
Love seeing another video, asking for our CT, how do u ensure it’ll be charged to 80 in morning after completing charging overnight? Like a schedule charge? Thanks
Speaking of FSD lane change issues. If the car turns on turn signal to initiate lane change....it will not let me cancel the lane change. It ignores me.
If the common road trip highways I travel has better charging infrastructure I’d be looking at an EV. I did recently move somewhere with better charging options locally, so I’m considering a PHEV.
Took a road trip 600 miles for holidays. Choice between our new 2024 non qualifying $7500 EV tax credit Cybertruck or a 2023 long range Model S. Tesla trip planner was almost 55 minutes more using the Cybertruck over the model S. Wanted to take the CT, but logic prevailed and took the model S. ☹️
Our trip down this year actually had a few minutes less charging time than our X we took 2 years ago. I'd assume in the real world it would be pretty comparable, tho the S LR does have far more range than other Teslas
When moving at higher speeds in the wiper is on intermittently it will stay down to hold water down. It only stays in the up position when it's off or driving at low speeds
They’ll never fix the auto wipers, it’s a lost cause. But you can apply a ceramic coating to the windshield that’ll basically last forever, and the rain will just bread right up and roll away, especially at 45mph+. I personally pretty much never use the wipers anymore.
The biggest problem with EV road trips I have seen is if you have to be somewhere at a certain time. EVs force you to stop and if you hit traffic a couple times you can’t compensate for that by stopping fewer times or shortening your stops. In EVs you still have to stop for a set amount of time no matter what. Other than that I agree EV road trips are better unless you are towing or in my case have a bike on the back of the car, it just kills your efficiency.
I would have really liked to know the actual fuel savings. Ellie in Space did a road trip and the charging was more expensive than gas if I'm remembering correctly. She was extremely disappointed in her experience in a model 3.
We have free supercharging so it's not a great comparison for us, but yes supercharging is expensive and it's quite disappointing. It's something I complain about on X. The main fuel savings come from home charging, but it's lame to spend extra time charging on a road trip and then also pay a similar amount to gas
27:20 People probably aren't bugging you because now, compared to last time, because people are more likely to yell profanity at you or hate you because you're driving a Tesla product due to toxic tribalism, politics, and identity politics.
I see the appeal of wanting to have Waze open so you can see the cop cars and road hazards along your route, but why have it navigating alongside the Tesla nav?
I wouldn't read too much into the median efficiency difference - so much data has been collected from the Cybertruck since March 2024 that the early calculation is likely quite inaccurate in comparison to recent trips.
So you deviated from the route it selected, then you complain that they don’t have superchargers in a certain area? THATS why it routed you a different way.
Man you devoured that crunch wrap - 18:08-18:33. :P Wait, I never noticed that- How did you get the custom Jowua on the FSD display visualization in the vehicle?
@@JBS7551 I think "largely" is doing some heavy lifting. It is an expensive vehicle to buy for a sponsorship. It would be cool, and he deserves to get paid for these videos somehow. 😄
How on earth do you drive 13 hours in one day with two children? I know you said they are more capable but…. I don’t get it. I tried two days of 4 hours driving per day with my 4 year old and it was not good. Way too restless. What do they do in the car for 13 hours? I really want to know.
It's a mix of like coloring books, i spy, cartoons, and kid tablet games lol they definitely do get restless at points but they make it through. The charger stops help too, every time we stop I tell them they need to jump as much as possible lol and then they jump the entire time outside of the car instead of walking
Currently drive a 2023 honda civic hatchback up here in Canada. I hope in the next 5 years to snag a model Y, but the prices up here are insane. A new Model Y before taxes is $65,000.
Wow yeah that is really expensive. Prices are coming down fast in the US, especially used there are some insane deals. Used will be really good once the refresh Y drops as well
Chris, its some people cant or wont... its cool. I believe the person freedom that allows for this is more important. It is clear that EV's are the superior drive train and will not only continue to improve but will replace ice vehicle as their use case capabilities converge. I suspect if the msm which screams the sky is falling regarding climate change would stop peddling their myriad of lies regarding EV's, the transition would at least be less contentious. Thanks for the video which is about exactly what the title indicates.
Time spent charging on a road trip is DWARFED by the time saved charging at home while you sleep. My ICE-owning days are OVER!😎
I had just watched this very enjoyable video and was disapprovingly shaking my head at the filth of your truck bed and grime in your door shuts. Then I remembered the channel name! Oh how I chuckled…….. Keep on Cybertruckin’ guys!
I live on a dirt road with my 2 Teslas also. They're impossible to keep clean. It sucks.

Y didn’t you use lawn and leaf plastic bags?
Very nice thank you but in that weather why do you need a Cooler??a box with ice packs will last at least 48 hours.

Maybe I missed it but what profile did you use, hurry, standard or chill?
It was a mix of standard and hurry. Standard works really well when you don't want to swerve around cars and be at the max speed constantly
27:39 why was the wiper down for that long ?
When moving at higher speeds in the wiper is on intermittently it will stay down to hold water down. It only stays in the up position when it's off or driving at low speeds

27:20 People probably aren't bugging you because now, compared to last time, because people are more likely to yell profanity at you or hate you because you're driving a Tesla product due to toxic tribalism, politics, and identity politics.

Will tesla FSD get over if someone is riding too close behind you?
Yes it will, especially when you're in the left lane. But it's like 90% of the time, every so often you need to initiate the lane change yourself
@DirtyTesla ok thanks so much for all the information you give out.
The truck needs a rear camera washer so bad or a better protected rear camera against the mist while it rains. Or both.
I’m constantly having these arguments with gas truck/ car owners- the charging time debate. It hurts my brain
Been to that bowling alley on a tesla road trip, no one cares if you use the bathroom haha.
I see the appeal of wanting to have Waze open so you can see the cop cars and road hazards along your route, but why have it navigating alongside the Tesla nav?
Because then it alerts better
so how fast does it pay it self ?
A $100k truck? Never
@DirtyTesla so why buy it then ?
@@nicolaisvlog8701 It's awesome. What car pays itself off? lol
@@DirtyTesla everytime you have changed and not use money on diesel fuel
💥YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED THE SMART SUMMON COMING OUT OF THE BOULING ALLY🎉
Cybertruck doesn't have smart summon :l
I think DT is moving to FL. :)
I wish lol
@DirtyTesla maybe one day. :)
I wouldn't read too much into the median efficiency difference - so much data has been collected from the Cybertruck since March 2024 that the early calculation is likely quite inaccurate in comparison to recent trips.
SINCE THE AUTO-WIPERS ARE SO BAD WHY NOT USE THE MANUAL MODE?
So you deviated from the route it selected, then you complain that they don’t have superchargers in a certain area? THATS why it routed you a different way.
The water in the bed is absurdly stupid for an approximately $100K vehicle. They should have engineered it to be dry inside, like, come on.
Definitely a dirty Tesla 😂😂😂
Any weird noises or worrying noises?
No? Like what?
Man you devoured that crunch wrap - 18:08-18:33.
:P
Wait, I never noticed that- How did you get the custom Jowua on the FSD display visualization in the vehicle?
With holiday update you can put custom skins on Cybertruck you can make yourself
Benefit of being single, u don’t have to watch hallmark channel 😂😂😂
Do you park your truck outside?
Yeah
Any one use gas generators with cybertruck?
Chris has fast- food anxiety 😂
Omg that big "JOWUA" on the back. 🤣 🤣
I think they bought him the truck for advertising
@@JBS7551 Of course they didn't, but of course it is paid advertising/sponsorship.
@@geirmyrvagnes8718 I think he said they largely did in some video earlier this year
@@JBS7551 I think "largely" is doing some heavy lifting. It is an expensive vehicle to buy for a sponsorship. It would be cool, and he deserves to get paid for these videos somehow. 😄
@geirmyrvagnes8718 Not dissing him, was just observing, obviously deserves pay!!
Don’t look like it’s draining😂
How on earth do you drive 13 hours in one day with two children? I know you said they are more capable but…. I don’t get it. I tried two days of 4 hours driving per day with my 4 year old and it was not good. Way too restless. What do they do in the car for 13 hours? I really want to know.
It's a mix of like coloring books, i spy, cartoons, and kid tablet games lol they definitely do get restless at points but they make it through. The charger stops help too, every time we stop I tell them they need to jump as much as possible lol and then they jump the entire time outside of the car instead of walking
Currently drive a 2023 honda civic hatchback up here in Canada. I hope in the next 5 years to snag a model Y, but the prices up here are insane. A new Model Y before taxes is $65,000.
Wow yeah that is really expensive. Prices are coming down fast in the US, especially used there are some insane deals. Used will be really good once the refresh Y drops as well
Chris, its some people cant or wont... its cool. I believe the person freedom that allows for this is more important. It is clear that EV's are the superior drive train and will not only continue to improve but will replace ice vehicle as their use case capabilities converge. I suspect if the msm which screams the sky is falling regarding climate change would stop peddling their myriad of lies regarding EV's, the transition would at least be less contentious. Thanks for the video which is about exactly what the title indicates.
