    I'm impressed by the range of such a high mileage Model S and its aged really well - also there is no way it cost £250 to go there and back I've done Cornwall to London and back for £90 in an EV (also had you plugged in while going for toilet and coffee there would have been more than enough). But still really enjoyed the episode and look forward to more!

      It's not that old, it's a 2017 model. We also don't know how many new batteries and engines it had. Alex said in his previous video about this car that it's still under warranty, which means he can get a new battery or engine if these fail. The previous owner might have done that more than once.
      Prices for electricity have skyrocketed recently, like in the last year or two. So depending when you did your journey in an EV, this might be the reason for the price difference.

      There were loads of ways they could have done the trip without hassle (just do what the satnav tells you to regarding charging), but that would have been a boring video.
      Instavolt is also one of the most expensive charging networks, filling that Tesla fully twice would have cost £148 to do approx 250 miles. Had they used Tesla chargers it would be £70, charging at home before setting off would have got it down to £7 to fill up. I cant see a diesel car doing 600 miles for £25, but to be clear they quoted that £25 as the cost of driving half way, which sounds fair, and is marginally cheaper than that Tesla, a newer smaller model 3 would use 2/3rds of the amount of electricity the model S uses.

    Why is electric charging soo expensive in the UK? Obviously most people would charge at home, but when the Mrs charges her car at a tesla super charger from about 10% to about 80% it takes about 20-25 mins and costs about $35 (that is that is somewhere around 200 miles). And that is in California (where things are more expensive). Crazy! Love the boys being back together! Congrats Lads!

      Scrolled down to see if anyone EV minded has looked at this video. Yes I like the 3 are back, wohoo! And I am somewhat pleasantly surprised by the first 20ish minutes. And then, a statement that it costs 80 quid to do in electric what you can do in 30 quid diesel. How? That pack has say 75kWh, and has been fully discharged. Supercharger price is around 0.5£/kWh, so 40£. If Alex had charged at home, would have been 10£, which you can not do in diesel, for a total roundtrip cost of around 50 quid. Diesel 60 quid. No story, nothing to talk about. How did we get to nearly 200 quid to go back home? I can't imagine how to spend 200£ on electricity on a 500mile trip, even with bad weather, AC, speed +VAT, we're talking of 400kWh worth of money, 1500-2000 miles, more if you hypermile. /rant over, glad to see Ethan, Jack and Alex back

      @@dragosmihai3489 looked like they started at an Osprey charger, which is potentially 80p/kWh, but the numbers still don't add up. I think he's added up both charges, which is essentially double counting the cost. You either start full and count what it takes to get back to full, or you start empty, fill and run it empty.
      Realistically if they managed 4mi/kWh, the 268miles they drove will have used 67kwh at a cost of say £46. So a bit more than the diesel, but most EV owners would have started with a full charge from cheap home electricity and the outward trip would have costed a fiver.

    This challenge is the equivalent of taking an ageing high mileage petrol car on a journey it obviously can’t reach with the fuel it currently onboard, to a place with very few petrol stations and of those, some have a different style of pump 😂 In the real world, that place they stopped for a coffee would have been a great time to plug it in. Most accept contactless payments too. Great video though, nice to see the team back together 😁

    Nerding out in terms of energy; a quarter of tank is about 15 litres, and one litre of diesel is about 10kwh. The Tesla p90d has a nominal capacity of 90kwh, usable capacity is about 82 kwh. So very roughly;
    The Saab used roughly 150 kwh of energy, the Tesla about 82 kwh.

    Biggest cause for the loss of range in wet weather is the increase in rolling resistance.
    You'll also get better range in summer with a higher ambient temperature - which helps the battery chemistry work more efficiently.

No idea why they would stop at that slow charger in Penryn first.. there’s no app for the Contactless payment on the McDonald’s charger. Also the cable is tethered.
      Point is .. if they stopped at the Tesla charger for a couple minutes when the car said to stop, they could have driven max speed, all the way to their destination.. and it would have been free. No need for all these theatrics and hyper mile-ing nonsense. The car is very fast and £0 per mile to run, that’s why it’s still 9k with all those miles on it.

    @AHVENAN Місяць тому +1

    One little trick that I learned when driving Teslas for work, when you're approaching a relatively long/steep downhill section, get the car up to your desired speed, and when you start going downhill, shift it into neutral and just coast down the hill, that way the car uses literally zero energy for propulsion and since it is a relatively heavy car, gravity helps it keep the speed up. It is a bit tricky to smoothly shift back into drive once you start dropping below your desired speed but with some practice it becomes second nature

    • @JoeHardman
      @JoeHardman Місяць тому +3

      Why not set cruise control to the desired speed and let the battery regen downhill?
      Then you're putting energy back into the battery rather than wearing your brakes.
      I've gained back >1% battery in certain instances doing this. Obviously it depends on the elevation change and speed.

    • @anonymouse8205
      @anonymouse8205 22 дні тому

      I used to do the shift into neutral thing with my 24kwh Nissan leaf and could regularly blow the GOM range by an extra 25-30 miles. It works to a degree in my i3 but not as well maybe an extra 10-15 miles of range. Haven’t got a Tesla to try this. But can confirm it does work.
      My Diesel Touran can do 67mpg when doing the neutral coasting. Without it and just in cruise control I’ll get 55mpg.
