Tesla Model Y Road Trip 1,000 Miles to Florida May 2022

- After moving to Florida, we had to leave our Tesla Model Y in Indiana and come back to get it at some point. I left the roof rack on the car and filled the Tesla with a number of loose items that we didn't load into the truck.
After about 2 weeks, I was finally able to get a last minute flight to Indiana to pick up the Model Y and drive it down to Florida. My dad was kind enough to drive the Tesla to the airport parking garage, where they plugged it in and I arrived to a nearly fully charged Tesla.
This was last minute and meant that I was in Indy late at night. It was 1,000 miles to get to the rental house in central Florida, which means a number of stops along the way. I have traveled this route many times, but have never done a long trip with the roof rack on top of the car.
Overall, the Tesla Model Y performed flawlessly as usual, and the range hit by having the roof rack was slightly less than expected. At an average under 370 wh/mi, while doing 80 MPH for most of the trip, this was another successful trip.

Always love a good road trip video!
Man you the best. Please keep doing great content
I've heard if you mount the roof box backwards, it's slightly more efficient. You should test that out too. Awesome road trip video like always.
This is perfect, we have an order for our model Y. We are in Orlando and my family is in Cincinnati and Indy. So this would we the trip we would take if we drove it!
I used to stop in Cordele all the time for my trips from Orlando up to the Atlanta metro area - but since they added Fort Valley (Buc-ees!) and several other V3 stops nearby, the Cordele stop is less common - especially since it is a solid mile off the highway. That grocery store does have bathrooms and it is nice to grab some fruit to eat while waiting on charging. I have also tried getting service at that Sonic - but not the best experience last time.
Loved your video. We just ordered a Model Y and hope to take advantage of the income tax break. We live in Ridge Manor FL for 6 months and central Michigan for 6 months so we make a longer version of your trip 2 times a year. We have not yet had the Tesla charger experience and are looking forward to the trip. Will be watching your channel for more Model Y information.
Very Nice Bearded Bro! Take Care! Be Safe!
Love your content. What’s your go to road-trip music / podcasts ?
Roof top boxes may be going by the wayside, did have a Tesla guy who camps a lot and has this really nifty hitch mount box that also swivels to the side and the hatch lifts and does not interfere, get awesome mileage as it is behind the Model Y slipstream. I'll see if I can find it!
Was this Bearded Tesla Guy lost vault video? Great upload on the Model Y journey down to my neck of the woods. 😎
Driving to go skiing with the skis and snowboards on the roof rack my wife made it to her first Supercharging stop with 3%. The following trips we mounted the equipment to a hitch mounted rack. The last 5 trips she has been getting to that she Supercharger with 24 to 25 percent.
Curious why you went with a roof box over a hitch mounted cargo box? I've heard the range hit is less with the latter and seems like it would be easier to access.
Go BTG!
🙋♂️THANKS BEARDED,…SEPARATION ANXIETY 😅 💚💚💚
Good choice avoiding ocala lol
You seem to overcharge quite a bit for a an experienced EV road tripper. I usually unplug when the car says I’ll be at the next charger with 8-10% and if I drive 75-80mph I get there with 2-5% depending on the weather/conditions.
Roadtrips are always fun. After few months living in FL, how you like the area? We went there to house shop back in June 2022 and we had Clermont, Davenport and Saint Cloud as top counties to live in.
Hey BTG, have you ever tried fitting you model 3 max pider floor mats in the Y? I am working to upgrade my 3 to Y and would love to save some $$ and reuse the M3 floor mats wherever possible in Y(Frunk, sub trunk, front rear seats). Not looking for perfect fit but “good enough. I was thinking they might fit since the vehicles are similar in many ways. Would love your thoughts.
Cool video, I am wondering how much did cost for the whole trip, if you can show the price at each charge station would be helpful
I really like the lights, what are they?
