    When driving the lightning manually (no bluecruise) if you press the accelerator just enough on a downhill to prevent regen you can effectively “coast” without putting the truck in neutral. The power meter will show a blue line when you are using energy, and a geeen line when you are regening so as long as you see no blue and no green you are coasting! Pro trip from a lightning owner with 36k miles 😎

    45:11 Over time more and more Tesla drivers will acept and help drivers with different charge port locations. I helped an ID.4 driver in Sweden by moving my Model 3 to another spot just recently. I was using a charger with another spot available right next to mine and all other chargers except for one were in use, so I moved over like 4 spots to the only one left to make two chargers next to each other available to the ID.4 driver so that he was able to plug his car in.
    We are all just EV drivers so we should stick together as a team and help out others who need two spots for their car to plug in.

Just in the few days since your trip, there are now 3 NACS compatible Supercharger sites on I-95 in North Carolina. I have also noticed a V3 in Ripley WV that was not initially NACS compatible, is now listed as having been upgraded.
    This is an exciting time for road tripping EVs with so many new stations opening up with larger number of pedestals. Your first stop at the almost full location was a hoot, with you parking on top of the curb! Way to go Dave, with pushing the dead truck the last few yards to the Supercharger mid-trip!

    Tom and Pete did great. Zero mistakes and EA stations that all worked perfectly (which is not exactly common) still lost to Kyle and Dave because the Tesla Supercharger network is so well placed for long distance travelling. Image a more common situation with problematic third part charging and the difference would grow dramatically as will the frustration of the driver dependant on third party charging infrastructure.

    @michaelterrazas1325 2 місяці тому +2

    I loved these videos. They do highlight why EVs may never fulfill a common use case for vehicles in the Western US: they add too much down time to long road trips to be economically feasible. You showed that the Lightning was a great road tripper for someone who is vacationing in an EV. If that's what my use was, I think I might buy a Lightning, even though I hate pickups. With that boost, it is a much better casual roadtripper than anything anyone else makes that I have tried or seen so far.
    Unfortunately, when you talk about time spent charging, there were a couple of things you left out:
    1) if you were not in a "race", each stop would have been extended by shopping or passengers deciding to use the bathrooms after the charging was complete,
    and
    2) you only timed the actual charging process, not the opportunity costs of slowing down, exiting, pulling up to the chargers, plugging in, and getting back up to speed (you did talk about Tom & Pete's Google Maps debacle, but not the rest)--how much further would you have been had you kept traveling at 80 MPH for that whole time?.
    Our experience with driving a trip of 1091 miles one way in a Model S LR added 6+ hours to my normal with an ICE vehicle, and a Model X added 5:45. We tried a Model Y, but turned around when it was clear that the first charging was so soon that we would add about 7 hours. With a Fusion or a Camry we have 2 stops that total less than 30 minutes lost. With a Mercedes GLX 350D, it's 15 minutes faster than the sedans because we only have one stop for 15 minutes total ET loss. EVs just suck at long distance travel where time is money. And, even when I travel on vacation, I am not at all interested in the sights along the way. I have already seen them when the trip WAS the vacation. Now I just want to get to where my loved ones are.

    48:41 I like how the illusion of taking up 2 spots at a supercharger will be just fine got shattered immediately. It’s all fun and games until there is a line waiting and there are open charging pedestals because some are taking 2 spots. That didn’t happen here, but if they arrived 10 minutes later it would have. Gonna be a lot of uncomfortableness.

    • @JK_Vegas
      @JK_Vegas 2 місяці тому +1

      I agree. I just took my Lightning from Palm Springs, CA to Vegas. I used a Tesla charger 3 times over the trip. It gave me anxiety pulling into stations with lots of cars. Thankfully they never got too busy. I was able to use the handicap parking spot 2 times which is wider and didn't take two spots. The 3rd time I was able to use the far end spot. In the future I will plan to only use the massive chargers (60+) where it's less likely. Either way, I wouldn't want to try this on Thanksgiving that's for sure!

    Tom is able to make his first stop 20 miles farther in Stafford (Garrisonville) with 2 Tesla stations (both with 8 stalls, one across the street and another a 1/2 mile farther down the same road) and you stopped in SPRINGFIELD (at the Springfield Mall). While both vehicles were similar, the driving styles and your route through DC, while picturesque could have made a difference in range.

    Kyle has his dad push the truck. Shouldn't the young man do the heavy work? Fun channel

    A great Saturday afternoon matinee with a climatic ending. Thanks for the entertainment. Will be curious about the total dollar cost for each on the trip.

    By the way, that relatively inexpensive charge that Tom got at Brunswick, GA Electrify America is now no more. That location used to be about 36 cents per minute without Electrify America monthly membership. Shortly after Tom used this station for this trip they switched that location to per kWh pricing, and it is 56 cents per kWh without monthly membership! That $10.89 Tom paid would be a whopping $44.18 at 56 cents per kWh and roughly $35.34 with the around 20% discount with EA monthly membership.

    This was great fun seeing the four of you interact. Great father-son/buddy road trip.

    huge learning experience for me watching this - goes to show that the old recommendation of "if you want a smooth journey get a Tesla" is slowly fading away. With Tesla partnerships as well as EA improving, they're edging everything closer to a better experience. Imagine this exact journey in 2026, 2028, 2030 and onwards.

    With only 4 chargers at the EA chargers, if that race was ran during the daytime it would have been a totally different story.

    This test if very real and honest. I'm willing to bet that the Tesla super-charging team is going to watch this to assess what they need to do to make it work.
    "I'm going to draft behind this Prius to start making up some time." That has to go on a t-shirt with a massive F-150 behind a tiny Prius for scale!

    Yup that first charger is definitely Springfield, VA not Stafford. Stafford has two stations and both only 8 stalls. Springfield is usually always busy so having other EV’s there will cause even more congestion. Especially if they need to take up two spaces. Charge port location definitely matters here at this location lol

    Watched all of this 3 hour video, the banter between you and Dave was hilarious. You both have the ability to tell and story and it kept my interest the entire length of the video. I can’t wait for the the trip to California
