I do a 120 mile round trip drive 2x per week on my 2023 RWD Model 3. In good summer-fall weather, I arrive back home with 58% charge remaining. Car is parked with Sentry Mode engaged for 8-10 hours. Now in this mild Midwest winter, with snow tires, I get back home with 48% charge. Love my Model 3! Haven't seen the inside of a gas station since May 2023 unless I need a cup of coffee and a donut😅.
I also have the Semi Truck complaint or paranoia or any other large vehicle . I always drove offset to traffic before. What is your highway speed and watts per mile average? Also electricity costs very widely from state to state as do gas prices.
I think you forgot one huge thing. Never going to a gas station! It's hard to overstate this. Everyone asked me how long it takes me to charge and I don't even know. I plug it in and it's always full in the morning. I have a van as a second car and it's so annoying when I get into it and it's low on gas. I spend way more time filling that up and stressing about it then I ever do charging the Tesla.
Hey Parker, I’m thinking about getting a model 3 for my commute from Lehi to Salt lake and back (60 miles) and I was wondering if you knew (I’m presuming you also live in Utah) if it’s feasible if I have a 110v home outlet and work charging
Nice! A normal outlet will only charge about 2% per hour so if you can charge all night and will need more than 24% on a daily basis, I would upgrade. If you are in a pinch you can always super charge though.
this is tge best scenario for a Tesla. 60 mile round trip wouldn't be an issue. If you can get 8 hours of charging a night you'll get 40 mikes charge. You can top it off on weekend or use a suoercharger. FSD and Autopilot make driving so much morecrelaxing.
Have 2022 Model Y Performance with USS, and my Pops has a 2023 Model Y LR without USS. I HATE not having USS, I cannot trust FSD or autopilot. Phantom Braking, changing lanes suck. Hopefully V12 will be good As for my 22 MYP with USS, no issues!! Love it! Sure some creaks here and there, but can't complain! Have almost a 80 mile commute, and can confirm all your points.
Interesting! I have noticed a little phantom breaking when there aren’t cars around. Overall a great experience for me so far. Sounds like you and your dad have a good lineup!
My 2020 SR+ only gets 160 Miles from 100-0% and thats rolling up at mile 161 with 0% battery left. just grab a wheel weight so autopilot stops bugging you, you can 3d print one and put 12oz of tire weights in it
I’m considering a Tesla for my 100 mile commute. I’m in Alabama so of course I have a LOT of pushback when I tell ppl I’m thinking about buying one. I hear it all from “the batteries are too expensive to replace!” to stuff about how my electric bill will go through the roof, and of course most of it probably has political motives. But I’m ignoring the Tesla hate because every time I try to think of true downsides I’m really finding it hard to think of a reason I shouldn’t get one. Rn I’m driving a 2011 modified BMW 335i and it’s killing me on premium gas having to fill up every few days and I’m trusting it less and less mechanically. My big question to you is how has it affected your electric bill? Thanks
@@TechbyParker Well it technically is working. But it is a very poor system and very far away from automatic. You always need to correct it. So I never use it and I don't trust it.

That’s awesome! Even longer than what I’m doing! Agreed, I don’t miss gas stations 😂😮💨
Do you have LR or Std range? And do you charge to fill 100% or 80% for your 120 miles commute?
I also have the Semi Truck complaint or paranoia or any other large vehicle . I always drove offset to traffic before. What is your highway speed
and watts per mile average? Also electricity costs very widely from state to state as do gas prices.
Good point. I average 70-75 miles per hour. You?

Where are you located? The view from your garage looks amazing
Utah’s got some sweet mountains. Thanks!
I was thinking about it, I do from West Valley to Provo.
Could be worth it!

@@TechbyParker hoping for it to get much better, Happy new year!
Amen to that! Happy new year to you!

Only 160 miles? How fast are you driving?
@@TechbyParker TeslaFi data: average speed 54, max speed 70, 307Wh/Mile, 2 hr drive, 105 miles. 64% used. 60F outside.

Where I live, electricity is cheap, but I have hardly noticed an increase in my bill. It’s probably like $30 a month.
Autopilot is not working at all for my Model Y. If you use Autopilot there is always ghost breaking. The suspension is the worst. You feel every bump.
Oh no! Is it enabled in your settings?

Yeah it’s definitely more of “assisted” driving than self driving. I love it on the freeway though.
Spoiler alert, it’s a game changer
Indeed
glad to see they can do the bare minimum
😂
