Tesla Model Y - Coast to Coast Camp Mode Road Trip 6,250 Miles Part 2

- If there is one thing I love about our Tesla Model Y, it is road trips! I can't get enough road trips in our Tesla, and even better, I love road tripping with my mattress so I can utilize camp mode instead of hotels.
Our trusty 2021 Tesla Model Y LR AWD has been perfect during our ownership, and taking road trips in this thing takes no thought at all. Now for preplanning, I do utilize abetterroutepl... to outline the trip and get a feel for areas of opportunity. Once I get in the car and actually start the trip, I just use the on board navigation and make adjustments as I see fit.
Part 2 of this epic coast to coast trip is taking our Tesla Model Y from San Luis Obispo to Boca Chica to visit Starbase. Then from Boca Chica back home to Central Florida. The whole purpose of this trip is to road trip to the annual Tesla Takeover event.
Tesla Takeover, hosted by Tesla Owners Club Silicon Valley, is the largest EV gathering of the year. This is not just a Tesla event as we see all types of EV's attend. There are vendors showing off their new products, companies highlighting their kickstarter ideas and major companies highlighting their new products. RV's, 2 seaters, Drones, E-Bikes, the list goes on and on. If you have not attended the annual event, you have to put it on your calendar for next year!

another very interesting road trip. Big support from NMK
Cheers
Just got finished watching Part 1. Glad to continue an impromptu Bearded Tesla Guy marathon day. :)
So glad to hear it! Was glad I was able to get both of these up a day apart for people to plow through both!
Love your trip man. Well done! So many miles is craaaazy!
Hint: you'd save a lot of time if you plugged in first and then recorded ;)
Yea, I know but then I’d be recording without you seeing the actual arrival % and time
Do you have any recommendations in the Orlando area for that stealth ppf? I don’t feel confident doing it myself
I have not worked with any shops in town
I finally made my AlabamaSan Diego trip. Had a great time in San Diego and Tucson. Mostly stayed in cheaper hotels/motels, but will try harder to car-camp the next time. Did make it all the way from Tucson, AZ to Bessemer, AL in one 1600 mile, 33 hour jaunt (6:15 MST 2024-02-14 ==> ~14:00 CST 2024-02-15), with several naps. I didn't try to be efficient charging, as I liked the extra time to nap at the chargers. Next trip will be for the Eclipse in April.
nice
Great content as always! It’s always very thorough, mixed in with some laughs. Thought the beach clip with the waves was soothing! Looking forward to the x vs y video). We love our Y and are getting ready for a small road trip soon! Keep up the great work! 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it!
You’re living one of my dreams. At least someone is. 😊
I love it!
Coast to coast EV roadtrip! One day hoping to do a similar roadtrip from Atlanta to California.
You have to do it!
Planning next summer family trip 2024 after the boys school is over. I'm going to catch up on all your videos as a New MYLR owner.
@@kirivanyam5969 Hell yea man!
I don’t worry about getting out of my car to unplug. I do see where it would be helpful for some unarmed people.
My wife doesn’t pack heat when she’s traveling and for those traveling across state lines, there’s more complexities involved
Fair.
@@BeardedTeslaGuyalso fair. A lot of work to know applicable laws on an interstate road trip. Some people are also more passive by nature and don’t necessarily get their pride hurt by fleeing instead of fighting or at least being confrontational- even if the other party is in the wrong.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy your car is your home for all legal purposes. You don’t even need a ccl for keeping it in the car. Better have it and not need it than need it and not have it
If a person has no arms it would be difficult to unplug the car.
You must have an awesome bladder without needing to leave the car to pee in the middle of the night, or even first thing in the morning! I envy that...
I just keep these in the car for long road trips just in case there’s no facilities OUMEE 24/20/12/8 Pack Disposable... www.amazon.com/dp/B09XM83RWZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
you made the best road trip videos. keep up the good work my man!
Thanks a ton!
Nice Road Trip again! 👍 Why don't you plug in before you start filming to safe time? Greetings from Germany 🙂
All about making sure I don’t lose data that I need to show you. It’s a habit now, show you what % I arrive and efficiency before plugging in
funny you tested that in santa barbara. I live here. Theres virtually no crime lol.
lol I was in the epicenter of the homeless camps apparently
It's a great place to be homeless! 75 degrees during day 50 degrees at night year round. If I was homeless I would move here too ha. Actually there's not that big of a homeless problem in Santa Barbara. I mean we have homeless people but it's not like LA or skid row or anything. Definitely a lot of vanlifers here tho!
the EVject shouldve been made with an angle, so if you need to drive off, the charger can slip out instead of being ripped out. that way instead of replacing the whole device, maybe just the retention pin needs to be replaced
I cannot and will not *condone* destruction of property, but I cannot guarantee I would be able to stop myself like when someone brazenly ICEs charges like the "SWAT" 'people.'
That unpleasantness out of the way, Defuniak Springs is one of the weirdest Superchargers (only v2, though) worth stopping at. There's ice cream nearby, AND a gym right next to it, so you can both indulge and get a couple rep sets in to work off the ice cream in way more time than it'll take you to charge. Also just assume some random weirdo on the other side of the bay is waving as you pass by on I-10.
In all seriousness, hoping maybe next year I'll be able to swing doing a TTO trip to the west coast. I've been wanting to take a cross-country drive for literally over two decades, so why not do it in an EV?
You have to make time to do it! You have 1 life...LIVE IT
@47:59 “I really just want to make it out of Texas” LOL. Though I’ve no idea why I find that so funny.
Lol. It’s such a long drive to get across lol
Amen. Though I did it in one day the last time I crossed (Tucson -> Bessemer, AL in 33 hours, of which more than half was Texas, so I get you), on the plus side, most of the drive is pretty good, especially when traveling East (prevailing winds tend to be from the west, in my limited experience). Warning though, some of the businesses near some chargers close in the wee hours, which can be a pain if you need to wee while charging...
Nice ! What was your favorite part of the trip & least favorite part and why
Favorite was Tesla Takeover of course! Least favorite would be the limited time I had to spend at stops on the way home
I now live in Wickenburg, AZ! Smiled when I saw you stop to charge there! Sorry things were closed, but it is a great authentic western town. Rodeo capital of the world! That stretch to Kingman is awesome right? Love the whole trip. I have a blue 202 model Y and love it. Charging at 50 amps in my garage is a snap!
Yea it was really cool and I could imagine just seeing out how cool it must be when open
Love your videos man keep it up! Now I wanna get Tesla hopefully 🤞 you do cost to cost road trip with cyber truck next time can’t wait!
Omg, Cybertruck road trip going to be CRAZY!
Would you be able to add a +1 for that same trip? Im a fairly large dude like you.
dude! plug in before you start filming! it is stressing me out that you are recording for us and haven't even plugged in yet ! Very cool trip vlog!! Keep up the good work !
Haha I can’t help it. If I plugged in first it would show higher % at arrival and time would be off. I like to show you what is happening real time. Won’t hurt the car anymore than it already is by sitting for a couple minutes while I get it plugged in
I've been binge watching your videos for weeks now - I really enjoy them! Question: when you're on the highway are you using the Enhanced Autopilot or the FSD? Thanks.
FSD but not Beta. Thanks for watching!
Leaving on coast to coast road trip next week. Wondering if a 1 month FSD subscription is worth it. Why or why not?
Worth it for sure just to have navigate on autopilot and lane changes without disengaging and re engaging autopilot
Does the plug adapter need to break? Can it have a strong magnetic connection that would disconnect?
it needs to break.
Great video! I’m actually getting a Model Y now just to road trip to Starbased. quick question. Do kept reviewing your Wh/Mi and sometimes you say good or bad. What’s a good wh/mi to avg? Also , do you have a long range?
On his podcast, Kyle raised a good point that prevents him from promoting the EVject at this time. It does not have thermistors to detect a overheating event and cut off charging. The Tesla CCS adapter and all safe adaptors have these thermistors for safety. Otherwise we would not know that critical overheating was happening until the adapter melts sparking, an electrical fire, or arc. That might not happen on your first road trip but you don’t know what will happen with five years of constant use of this
As a further note you recently posted the video of the dangers of the overheating melted NEMA 14-50 outlet and how that almost killed you. That should make you twice as attentive to the dangers of overheating electrical components as this adaptor will ev pushing 500 amps, 10x more
The supercharger itself monitors this.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy there’s no way for the supercharger to monitor the temperature inside the adaptor. if components are starting to melt and then the resistance of the line changes the supercharger will know but at that point it might be too little too late. That’s why every reputable adaptor has thermistors
@@Jeddin That is the testing they are doing with the production version. they have just recently made the first official batch of production ready adapters.
23:25 Wilcox Arizona has a white truck epidemic. Lmao
Lol
Since you drove so far, how did your FSD work? Any phantom breaking or any problems?
I used FSD (not Beta), for nearly the entire trip. If I was on the highway, FSD was on. Phantom braking was so much better than last year in the same car.
Thanks for the reply. Going to take a trip with MYLR from Fort Collins, CO to Calgary in July '24. @@BeardedTeslaGuy
Hearing more and more issues with late night charging? Respectfully i have heard of that as a concern of women but have not heard of many actual events.
It can and does happen. It’s also peace of mind.
What is that adaptor you use for the superchargers?
Someone may have already mentioned this, but the Quartzsite, AZ location is adding an additional 88 stalls
Yep, I covered it in that part of this video.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I must’ve missed you saying how many there were.
Great video. I almost started to take a shot every time you said you over charged lol. So only other question is…. When’s the next road trip
I do it too much. I need to either accept that I can’t be efficient with charging, or I need to fix my stuff!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I think you’re doing just fine. Better than undercharging lol
1:14:00. What is that ev jet adaptor for?
Loved the road trip videos! I would be curious to see a cost breakdown of supercharging for the entire thing.
I wish I could see how much each stop cost. It's all referral miles so I dont see the cost.
Dang. Oh well, still a very informative road trip series. I’m ordering my MYLR next month and this helped strengthen my decision. I was thoroughly impressed by the A/C surviving all of those hours nonstop in such hot climates.
Notice at 20:40 when you say “keep things moving along” the guy walking in front of you does the hand motion for move along 😂
1:07:15 😭😭
I take dad life very seriously
Epic trip! Thanks for taking us along!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yap yap
Great travels. Thanks again for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
I heard that Tesla road service doesn't respond in a timely way anymore, sometimes they can't even get to you same day. Just wondering what your plan is if you were to get a flat on these long road trips without a spare? Enjoyed the video.
I have a repair kit. Otherwise a tow
keep pounding the pavement mang! love it!
at 2006kWh and average 0.38$/kwh, around $760 for your total trip if pay out of pocket. pretty good.
Maybe .38 in California, but it’s much closer to .25 in the rest of the country, at least on this corridor
really? what i looked up, new mexico, texas pretty much all at .38c. unless you get discount for charge at night. @@BeardedTeslaGuy
What was your total cost for supercharging?
Don’t know due to referral miles
So no showers the whole time? How do you stay clean?
I do shower. Shower before I leave, use cleaning products for days without a shower, and add a hotel stay in there to take a full shower
@BeardedTeslaGuy ah ok. Would love to see a video on what items u use in between to stay fresh. Thinking of doing that 24hr drive from Florida also to see starship
I prefer Sig-Sauer 300 Blackout.. Not be forced to the flight only option. :) Zombies attack, zombies go down. 😎🥷.
Part one was worth the time to watch. 1.75X seems like best speed. Watching this part two now. I bet will be same experience.
Thanks for watching!
