That's why I love AutoPilot for roadtrips.. doesn't just reduce driver fatigue (a LOT; charge rest stops/breaks help also)... but having the car constantly watching 360o around you and making sure staying in lane & far enough behind car ahead of you, reassures me that a drowsy drop in attention won't be as dangerous. Still gotta be careful! But having car as co-pilot, helps a lot
Here in the UK a journey of that length is inconceivable, and I am exhausted after just a few hours driving, so I remain very impressed at your stamina!!!
I loved this video! I'm taking delivery of my new Tesla today and this provided so much entertainment and range anxiety relief! Thanks for putting this together :)
I also had range anxiety when driving across country but it does go away there is really Chargers everywhere. Your issue comes to the quality of the charger where some are rated at 250 kilowatts and you're only charging at 72 kilowatts it really takes a toll on your body waiting that long each trip
Nice video ya guys. Both of you are soldiers !! 28 hours for some yummy food. Love the videos. This will help me gain a little more confidence in driving my new Tesla for long distance. Thanks !!
Great video, I did that drive in reverse in May, but I started in southeast Michigan. I used many of the same super chargers, but I stopped for the night twice.
Been doing yearly drives from Oregon to Texas to meet up with friends in the Summer for the past 4 years. Every year I've gone in a hybrid though, this year though I have been considering getting a Tesla. Thanks for the video, was curious what the experience was like.
Handle is so you can reach up and grab it from a wheelchair. Otherwise the charging part is too high for ADA requirements. Branden Flasch talked about this in a video recently.
end of video the handicap stalls the piece is for those in a wheelchair it is to make the cable harder/stiffer so they can easily take out and more important put back in the holder when they cant reach it cause the cable won't flex at all.
Great video and stats, nice drive... hope the food was worth it! :) Well done, showing how easy the in-car nav trip planning and supercharging works, and how short most stops typically are (15mins, enough to hit bathroom, stretch, maybe a snack..) How long would it have been, and cost, for a gas car, with fewer stops? Typically ABRP estimates only around 15-20% longer, but that doesn't count stops multitasking for potty/food breaks (harder to do w/ gas fillups, and folks never count potty breaks)... but is 30-50% cheaper than gas, too. Glad you arrived safe, enjoy your stay!
Thanks for the watch! You can be our 500th sub 😁 Google navigation said 24 hours if we drove straight and didn’t stop to charge or get gas! The cost- not sure, looks to be almost double what we paid.
Awesome vid! I’m taking delivery of a model 3 refresh next week. I plan on going 5% tint on the sides but I’m trying to decide between 50% or 35% for the windshield. What tint do you have on your windshield? I really like the way it looks.
30% on the windshield! 15% on all side windows. Wish I did 5% on the windows. I love the look of the darker windshield, and it's manageable, but I wouldnt go any darker than that lol. Our Y is 50% but idk if we have any videos, it's been in the shop shortly after we tinted it.
@@vegasteslafamily Sweet! I think I’m for sure going to do 30% or 35% after seeing what it looks like. It’s been a struggle to find M3’s online that have windshield tint darker than 50%. I got the car in black so it’s gonna look super stealthy. Thanks! 😆
Great video and very informative. I picked up my midnight silver Model 3 RWD last week. I’ll be road tripping it for Thanksgiving. So I appreciate your tips. You may have mentioned this in an earlier post, but which trim level is your car?
Exciting! I have the M3 long range. If the RWD was a LFP battery back when I purchased, I would’ve went with RWD as well. Being able to use 100% of the battery daily is sweet!

Bro did u sleep in hotel or u two both with dog sleep in car while folding the seats and charging or u guys didn't sleep at all And what was the actual time estimated while charging just wondering
Hmm we didn't add up all the charging time. But we didn't sleep! I drove through the night and Jojo took over in the morning. Raider slept the whole time lol
@@vegasteslafamily thanks for the reply, just got my Tesla and I’m still iffy on taking it on a long journey. I was in Vegas going to Death Valley. There was a point where we had to stop and go back cause there was no gas station near by. Have you ever been in a situation where you wonder if the battery will make it?
@@Gman92000 kinda, but if you drive slower you a bit you save a ton it battery. Vegas to Death Valley is a whole lot easier with the supercharger in Pahrump now!
Does Tesla charge for navigation? I think all modern cars should have free navigation. It just makes sense. Though I am a Chevy Bolt EUV fan I can not wait to see what the Model 2 looks like and if it has the 25k base price. I like to take my time when I travel and enjoy it all. So I don't mind the charge time of the CB euv and enjoy the sights and sounds of life.
Nope! Navigation is standard connectivity I believe, which is free. Premium connectivity is $10/month. The 25k EV is kind of here quite honestly. The standard model 3 with the EV credit and state incentives knock on that price right now.
@@vegasteslafamily Cool. The tax credit only means something if you have enough taxes to have 7500 in taxes owed. when I mean base model of 25k That should be before tax credit and "gas saved". All car companies should have a 20-25k base car model before incentives so that normal people not living above their means can afford. Keep up the good vids.
All Tesla connectivity and "tech" features are free/standard, at least for 8years supposedly (they made some noises about older ModelS etc, I think more because they had too-old LTE modems.) Tesla standard gps/nav & other tech is a LOT better than premium navs in other vehicles... MUCH better performance & response, nicer features, often MUCH bigger screen, etc.. and free OTA updates for life, car features added as well as map updates. Oh, and voice control that works VERY well and over 137-150 commands, including texting (contact search is lame though, but response text input works well) Premium connectivity is $10/mo, that basically just covers Tesla's LTE bandwidth (many features below DO work on wifi, eg if you use phone hotspot), lets you: - see google satellite photomaps (VERY useful and helpful for roadtrips & finding unfamiliar superchargers in a parking lot), plus also displays road traffic like google does (red/orange on roads) - video & music streaming for youtube, netflix, disney etc & more, plus Slacker and TuneIn (free accounts ok) plus other music streaming (spotify, apple music, tidal, if you subscribe to their premium accounts).. oh, and Caraoke :).

Thank you! 😁 we have a tire inflator and some slime thing with it in the trunk. Not a full spare, but hopefully enough to help us drive to somewhere to get a spare in case of emergency!
Y'all are my favorite cross-country road trip reference - although I have yet to watch the video you just posted re: Stranded eeeek lol I'm doing another road-trip in 2-3 weeks and was wondering if you preferred the I-40 route vs. I-70....Any recommendations on which one you'd recommend for a Model Y LR with a storage box? PS, my fiance loves you both as well and we wind down watching the two of you and have adopted to food slap :D
Thank you! Much appreciated ❤️ we got the food slap from Ryan Trahan! But we prefer the i40 definitely. The Route 66 things along the route make great stops. i70, however, between vegas and Chicago is about a 2 hour less of a drive, that’s why we’ve taken that a few times too! Except it’s not that much shorter when you get hit by a snow storm lol
Fab video, thank you! I’m in England and planning to buy the new 2024 Tesla. Do you know anywhere in LA area where you can rent them? I would like to try a US road trip with one to test it out myself. Thanks for the helpful video x
Thank you! I recommend Hertz honestly, it may be a bit beat up but you’ll get the best price. If you want a specific one, I’d recommend renting through Turo.
25:16 I know someone with a Tesla in a wheelchair. I think that is because when I. A wheelchair the cable needs to put on your lap and it gets very hot. So that helps and also allows for two handed usage
@@Nippelssiini 😂 but thanks for watching, we are trying to learn and make each video better! We’re making the same trip next month with hopefully a better video!
For the entire trip, not sure! I put the screenshot up from a third party app of what we paid vs what it would have costed for gas at each charging stop though
I hope you don’t charge in the pull in stalls regularly. Those are for people towing trailers so they don’t have to unhook. And if you do I hope you are always ready to move in case a towing vehicle arrives.
When you navigate to a destination, it tells you what % battery you’ll arrive with. So when we navigate to the next supercharger, we see what % we will arrive with based on what % we leave with!
The in-car navigation does ALL the planning, and tells you onscreen, during driving and charging, and in the app (eg will alert you a few minutes before charging is ready to go, so you can walk back to car.) It also pre-conditions the battery enroute to a charger to heat/cool it, for fastest & safest charging. The nav does take elevation, temps, recent speeds/driving, traffic, and even forecast headwinds into account for planning range/arrival times! This is a HUGE benefit and SUPER easy vs other EVs/charge networks, especially given the car nav also knows the stall counts & status for all supercharger sites, so if one goes full (rare) or goes down (even MORE rare), it will auto-reroute you to another charger. It isn't perfect as noted in the video @11:14, sometimes it might route you to a slower charger or charge for a long time at one spot for some reason, but as they did, you can just check map yourself and manually route if desired. Charging most EVs above 80% is VERY slow as power(speed) is reduced a LOT, to protect the nearly-full battery... often it can take LONGER (some 2x!) to charge from 80-100%, than from entire 10-80%. You don't "fill up" EVs at each stop, different mindset. Just charge enough to get to next supercharger as they did, and the car plans that. At home of course, charge whatever you want. You CAN of course charge more/longer if you want, eg if you are eating food and taking longer, you can just keep charging... might be enough to skip one charger, as they did. A recommended app/website for other EVs is ABetterRoutePlanner, super-great and advanced trip/charge planner, works for all EVs based on real collected efficiency data, and chargers. Sometimes smarter/bit more efficient than Tesla, but ... not as brain-dead simple :)
Congratulations on all the views but I have made many cross-country trips in a Tesla which proved to be the worst experience of our life. We've gone chicago to Vegas many times and had 15 hours of charging round trip each time! We only saved $175 so wasn't worth all the charging time.
The most boring Tesla trip video. The tale of pee and poop throughout...and that haircut needs to go dude. Another tip: a bit more about the car had been useful. Is it comfortable on long rides? Consumption? Etc....people are not that interested in how many times you go to bathroom..

FSD woulda made that trip a lot less work
We had FSD for this trip last year. Much prefer it without! No necessary lane changes
You guys need the bed.
What bed?
@@vegasteslafamily they have beds for people to camp in look up Tesla camping.
For a fun trip I saw someone's video in Georgia some where there's a new v4 superstation!
@@DavidMcLellan-k7y I wanna see one!
bro so many mistakes. why are you letting it route you to v2 chargers and why are you rolling up with 20%. so inefficient
Sorry lol
30 hour drive and she didnt go in lol ok
For real lol
I used to like Tesla but not anymore, reason wacko elon musk but as ev enthusiast good vid. Buy other evs.
I don’t let politics influence my vehicle purchase decisions. I will happily continue to put my family in the safest cars in the road
that girlfriend. Of yours Filipina right
Yes
@@vegasteslafamily same race of your girlfriend hehe
Your dog is skinny guys. Please feed him like a dog 🐩. Not like a human on diet.
He was sick! He’s good now
Music is intolerable.
Sorry!
Pee and poop
I know 😂
Next one less of that I promise
Why do you pee so much?
I am human
The most boring Tesla trip video. The tale of pee and poop throughout...and that haircut needs to go dude.
Another tip: a bit more about the car had been useful. Is it comfortable on long rides? Consumption? Etc....people are not that interested in how many times you go to bathroom..
Thanks for watching! 😁
