@@mountainmantesla4395 I know one thing, most EV owners charge at home during the night, so realistically, the car is NEVER sitting there with a low battery - otherwise the owner would definitely plug it and start the next day with a nearly full battery.

So realistically, there are a lot more chances of an internal combustion engine car being stuck in a traffic jam with low fuel than an electric car with low battery
Nice video, it's crazy how fast the snow falls. I'm from the UK and if we get snow it rarely ever lays. Was sleeping in the car quite cramped? It looked quite spacious.
I am 5 foot 8 inches so it was very roomy. The mattress was $71 ok Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y8TR9LD/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_P9WNJSQEP9BM7DRE3PGD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks, I actually had to do this video twice. I went up and filmed everything and then got back and the motherboard on my GoPro has gone bad and I had a blank memory card, so I had to redo everything. First time I only lost .7% per hour but, if it isn't on video...it never happened.
I hear the opposite in Florida. "Derp. I'd sure hate to have an EV after a hurricaneI" I've had to camp overnight in my X a total of four nights after hurricane-related power outages. Camp mode ate through about 7-8% of the battery each time with the AC at a comfy 72. AND there's no panicked search for gasoline the day before the storm. I hate NOT having an EV in hurricane season.
I think the snow on the roof helped insulate. Sun shades on the inside would probably help as well. I drove 102 miles and used 38% driving, so I think you are correct that going slow probably helped with any range loss. I don't know about the impact of extra drag from the slushy snow. I didn't intend for this to be a range test just a heater test. The summit is supposed to get 8 feet tonight, I could redo the test, but I don't want to die that bad Lol.
@@mountainmantesla4395 happy new year. Many people sleep/camp in their hybrid Toyotas, aka hotel Prius. I’m trying to decide this year between The Tesla Y and a Toyota Rav 4 prime. Would be interesting how they would compare in this type of test.
@@MechayaAlta I just did a 1000 Miles Road Trip with my wife along the California coast. Sleeping every night in our car at campgrounds, which allowed us to charge for free. The back folds down perfectly flat without a major seem between the truck and seats. It is very well designed for camping. Also the car has camp mode which shuts the power down to everything but climate control. If you subscribe to my channel I will be be making a video about the trip later this month. There is a lot of room in the back of the Model Y and the glass roof makes sleeping under the stars really cool.
@@mountainmantesla4395 thanks, am looking forward to your video and seeing your setup. I live in the pacnw and travel and camp quite a bit. Do you take a spare tire on these longer trips?
I have a questions about the mattress. What size is it before you inflate? 2. Is it a single or double bed and 3. Where did you buy it? Thanks for this video.
I got it on Amazon. It folds up in a bag and fits easily under the rear trunk or in the frunk. When If you don't inflate them all the way they are pretty comfy. And you can fit 2 people alright as long as you aren't huge. When the back seats are folded down they are 75 inches long and 41" wide. The mattress is $59, it dropped I paid $71. www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y8TR9LD/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_P9WNJSQEP9BM7DRE3PGD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It is a long range. But heater run time should be the exact same because battery pack is the same size. That is just an educated guess though. My wife wouldn't let me get the performance, cause I do stupid stuff.
That was a fun little trip but didn't prove much. I have a Tesla but wouldn't comfortably take it out knowing I could be stranded for more than 25 hours such as what happened to me in Virginia on I
It was a good estimate for how many hours you can run the heater. 110 hours of run time is a lot more than a gas car (on a full charge). And since you are a lot more likely to start your day with a "full tank" it really shows the advantage. I never filled my gas tank until it was at 1/4 tank or less. I start every morning at 80%-90% in my Tesla. Curious, how long were you stuck on the highway?
@@timothyallbritton1961 That would suck. Sorry you went through that. I am guessing you don't have charging at home. I do so I follow Tesla's charging guidelines and plug in every night and charge to 80%. Especially important during the winter to keep the battery warm and preconditioned for sub freezing driving.
@@mountainmantesla4395 Yes we do have a home charger but we just don't drive the Tesla that often. My wife wanted it and we ordered it and when she first got it she drove it often. She now complains that the road noise and the wind noise are too loud. She prefers her S Class so the Tesla has been moved from our carport to my shop :(
2017 with my 3 month of Model S stuck on I65 near Lafayette IN in an ice storm for 21 hours, heat and radio on the full time. Most of the ICE cars around me were out of fuel. I used about 21% of my battery.
Thanks for taking the time to come check my video. I am filming a funl one next week measuring road noise between Model Y, Mustang Mach E, BMW E30 and a gas ford explorer. Driving the same road with a decibel reader in each. If you subscribe to see it that would be great.
Another ev shill. Do the math, that's not impressive at all. A 70 watt easy bake oven heater is hardly worth bragging about. Come out here to Kremmling Colorado, after one night in sub zero degrees you would be trading that tax cattle battery holder in at the nearest carvana. In fact, your rc car would not even make it to my location, to heavy and low to the ground.
@@Scott_Carnivore It's not just a car. It's a sham that you were involved in and it steals from the American tax cattle. They have no option to say "no thank you, I do not want to pay for your obese tax cattle car". I like how you make these claims about ice vehicles running out of* gas around you in a blizzard while you sit comfortably in your electric car bs story that didn't happen. Lies must come easily to you?
Most people driving in the winter are not going to be nude LOL. So this would be for people with common sense while traveling in winter conditions. And the heater was set at a comfortable range. It is was a real survival test I would set the heater much lower like 60 degrees. Which would give several more hours of range. And unlike the gas car, that would extend the time, the gas car takes the same amount of gas to run no matter what your heater is set to.
Lol, you're not a "mountain man" at all. That was barely any snow at all, try testing at BELOW freezing (where battery efficiency drops to 30%) & try testing with an EV that isn't brand new. Whadda joke
It snowed 11 feet that week And it doesn't snow unless it is below freezing, you might want to watch this again, not sure how you got so confused. . I don't make clickbait videos like the guys who brick their batteries to make them appear to be bad in cold weather. You watched some clickbait didn't you. Ones where someone bricks their car overnight to make it worse than they are in real life. Don't fall for that nonsense. I didn't need to stick around beyond what I did to show just how superior EV heaters are to gas cars. All the data is at the end of the video. On a side note, Monday my corolla wouldn't run because of how cold it was so I had to take the Tesla (It's my wife's car) and once again, zero issues.
BTW that was 100+ miles driving and parking for 11 hours. I used 38% of the battery driving and 10% running the heat for 11 hours while parked. So your claim of only getting 30% range is not even close to reality. And remember all cars get worse efficiency when they are pushing snow with their tires. @ 38% used to go over 100 miles that would give me over 263 miles of range in the snow, running the heater. Which is 80% of Tesla's claimed range, which we all know isn't real.
I am a car guy, I have a 69 chevelle with a built 350, custom paint and a real eye catcher at shows. I also have an 86 4runner/crawler. The Tesla is more fun than both. The amount of torque is insane. As far as environmental disaster, I could care less. But it is not. Everything has to be made, and takes energy and resources. A Tesla takes about 10% more stuff to make, but manes up for that very fast. This auto engineer explains it well. th-cam.com/video/L2IKCdnzl5k/w-d-xo.html
Another lithium battery shill. Eating a burger while going down the road with no hands free for the wheel sounds about right. Your beany or you powerwheel tesla would not make it 10' here in the rabbit ears range. Your cars heater is basically a blowdryer and just as weak.
Uniformed and insulting, you must be fun at parties. You understand the car drives itself, you don't need your hands on the wheels. It's obvious you have never been in a Tesla or talked to an owner. Highest customer satisfaction of any car ever polled by Consumer Reports.
@@mountainmantesla4395 Your response is typically of a tax cattle recipient aka tesla owner. You and your type are only capable of regurgitating missleading ev propaganda.
@@MiddlePark What tax did I get paid? If you were informed you would know Tesla maxed out of federal rebates several years ago. You should spend 2 minutes educating yourself, or at least don't be so hurt when I educate you. What's the next myth you want to share? How about battery fires? Google can be your friend.
@@mountainmantesla4395 Are you so ignorant as to think that's the only way grid battery powered car manufacturers and buyers get at tax cattle money? Would you like to discuss all of the ways electric vehicles take advantage of tax cattle?
@@mountainmantesla4395 1st way, how much will 8936 claims cost the tax payers in "credit" this year? Government is extremely sneaky when it comes to tricking people into thinking no tax cattle money is involved when it comes to pushing an agenda, particularly anything electric on wheels.

I have a question, your banner pic shows you towing with your Tesla. May I ask what the towing capacity is on your model of Tesla?
Towing capacity is 3500 lbs. I have seen people tow double that. I tow close to 3500 all the time and you can barely feel it there.
