- Kyle and Alyssa road trip the Model 3 Performance from Raleigh to Marco Island. Another typical Out of Spec EV road trip! This was one of the worst... The traffic was absolutely brutal, so many accidents, and Savannah Supercharger was being Savannah. Tesla please give us V3s on I-95! No excuse at this point...

Alyssa's faces are killing me 🤣
I think she's awesome... I love the hand signs and her facial expressions. It made me keep watching lol..
Alyssa definitely made this video!
@@alyssazupan3944 the funniest part was you moving to the back seat at the end of the video, probably being one with the vlogging thing :D
This channel is so underrated
Alyssa @ 11:27 is priceless! Laying down the visual mock like a pro!
Thanks for making these road trip videos. They are helpful for understanding what it's like.
We think Alyssa should host a episode all on her own. Not only is she cute but she’s damn funny as well. Great video. Thank you
Yea they dont look like should be together he looks like the gay friend sorry
@@mechanictaft4848 BRUH WHY YOU GOTTA DO HIM LIKE THAT
@@mechanictaft4848 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@dewonearlonline5602 Take a look at his profile page. Dude is just lashing out cuz he is hella jealous he can't get a girl to talk to him, much less date him... Keep listening to conservative radio and filming yourself getting pulled over by cops bro. Doin big things...
@@mechanictaft4848 Lol
Sometimes it looks like Alyssa is very well practiced in humouring you. Some of her looks just seem to say, "Yeah, sure, whatever"
Wow great video! Alyssa and all her great miming was funny and so entertaining. Glad to see you both making the best out of that trip. Thx for making a Teslamentary out of it!
I like Alyssa’s humor. Definately adds entertainment to the trip.😂 I’m not sure why every time it rains here in Florida people will turn on their flashers. Especially in Miami. Go Figure.😩
Hopefully getting a model 3 in a year or so when my contract comes to an end with my BMW. So I treat your videos as training to use the screen on the Tesla 🙌🙌. Great insight into Tesla owner ship👍. Thanks for posting.👍
Did you end up getting your model 3?
Sweet mother of goodness. I have a Model 3 performance that I bought new a couple months ago and just completed an AL to TX back to AL road trip that was 1500 miles long. 2 people, probably 200+lbs of luggage, rain, and 80+mph on roads (TX has fast speed limits), and I got 250-260 miles on a charge at highway speeds over the course of the trip. The trip was 95%+ highway. ~268 wh/mile average. How are you over 300+ wh/mi? Wow. I do run tire pressure at 48PSI, but shouldn’t be that much difference.
I like seeing the traffic cones. I like knowing my car sees them in roadwork zones and it has helped me out when reversing near them in multiple scenarios. It does not use any more computational power to display them. Autopilot has to see them and process their existence whether or not they’re displayed. The few pixels shown on the center screen aren’t using *any* more power than if they were not displayed. They are vector-based images, which, in the case of the center display, means that if they are not shown, they’re just replaced with a vector image of a dark spot. In other words, the blank space around the car on each side of the lane is a vector image in the same way that the traffic cone display is, so to the computer a vector image is displayed whether or not it appears as a cone. The autopilot system still sees and processes the cone whether or not it’s displayed for the car to avoid them and that is what uses the computational power.
May I ask what you mean by highway speeds. Following the posted speed limit or? Kyle has a radar detector mounted in his windshield for a reason I think.
Also 48psi is certainly a bit high over the 42-45 recommend range but I understand that. I wouldn't want to do that is this bad rain though.
Thanks for bringing us along. I could be very happy on a road trip where Starbucks and Chick-fil-A are a staple! Thanks for the tip about curbside ordering.
I’m pretty sure Alyssa and my wife are on the same page 😁 thanks for another great road trip video, hopefully the SC network is upgraded and able to handle the holiday load by the time my cybertruck is delivered... I’ll be doing a lot of holiday road trips in it.
Watching this 3 years later and the Supercharging infrastructure has GREATLY improved along I-95!
Dude! Doing 77mph in the rain in the vicinity of pickup trucks and you're surprised at all the accidents?
Yo 16:25 has me 😂😂😂😅😂😂😂😂
Is it just me, or are Kyle and Alyssa the Tesla community version Leonard and Penny?
THANK YOU! I HAVE SAID THIS MANY TIMES AND NOBODY AGREES
Nice Pac-Man water mark on your garage wall at 0:17, ha. Man sucky first part of the trip in the rain. My 3 also used to do better w AP in the rain but the last 6 months of updates seem to have reduced it's ability in bad weather. I'm with Alyssa, give me Chic-Fil-A and I'm happy. Her facial expressions 11:26 13:22 16:27 are hilarious - I'm dying. You should have titled this video 'Another One'. Thanks for filming this.
Going back thru the older videos. This is one of my favorite OOS road trips and Alyssa def stole the show here!
I love seeing fellow North Carolinians on UA-cam sharing a similar passion. #Represent
You guys are so Lucky in America to have such a great supercharging network, I live in a remote part of Australia. The closest supercharger is 1000 miles away... So we rely on little government chargers they are not Super fast but they still work.
Yes, WA is bereft of chargers let alone superchargers. Getting one anyway
Greg Matthies you know nothing about me. If going to the shops past 18mths includes a full lap and a half of this continent... then yes I have shopped. Maybe you should stop projecting your own small life onto others you don’t know? Get out of your bedroom and see stuff. The nice thing about EV’s is it is largely free for fuel
@@kdkd693 As in Washington, the state? If so, I thought that would have changed from 2 years ago (don't live there anymore).
Jack Starblaze sorry, Western Australia. I was responding to the Aussie op, who would have known what I meant by WA. (There is only 1 supercharger currently, yet WA is 3.6X the size of Texas and 14X that of Washington state!)
@@kdkd693 Ah, apologies.
Alyssa’s facial expressions when Brutus explains all things life/Tesla is priceless. She’s an assassin with her humor. America First.
Alyssa Zupan no doubt they are genuine. He’s as electric as my brother. Same person. The videos are superbly entertaining. Keep those genuine facial expressions coming.
I know this wasn't your intent, but this video makes me glad that I decided to wait to go electric. Although Tesla has a lot of superchargers, they apparently still don't have enough.
On certain routes it’s rough. If we went north on 95 it is a non issue. This particular stretch is one of the worst in the country
I'll wait another decade!
You won’t be glad you waited when you do eventually go electric. You’ll wish you’d done it years ago. Such a blast to drive and every road trip is enhanced by the people you meet
Especially if you live in a cold part of the country. Then batteries are even worse charge times. Plus their whole trip is filled with planning and worrying about where and how long to charge. Seems exhausting. I take about 10-15 road trips a year. I really wanted to get one, but decided it's not practical unless I have two cars.
Collin it’s not all about planning and there’s little to worry about. The video is just trying to give you a very thorough explanation of what and why they do things. And you may wish to take the same trip differently. It’s also one of the worst times to travel on one of the worst routes. The vast majority of journeys you wouldn’t think twice. You’d load up, put in your route and go. And when you do stop, you often meet interesting people and I’ve made a few friends along the way. I would find going to a filling station a pain these days, especially on my commute.
Your sweetheart is awake for far more of the trip than my own
You both are great together. You are presenting a great story narrative, and Alyssa's beauty and facial expressions add to the video. Making me think of buying a Tesla too. The only sucky part of this video is the Patrick MacHenry ads we have to put up with :-)
Thank you! UA-cam premium will get rid of all ads... Makes life so much better
@@OutofSpecMotoring In spite of the Ads, you still made a very informative video about the Tesla. Thanks.
@@cwmoser Yes Premium here, haven't seen an ad in months
This is a great video because you are showing a strategy behind a triple threat of EV drivers, bad weather, holiday driving and heavy supercharger use. Thanks for the tips.
I loved the long pause when he asked her to explain curbside pickup... Like in her head she really wanted to say "it's when you pickup... at curbside..."
Somehow these are some of the most relaxing and entertaining videos ever.
Super great video, super charging is kinda like a game and I’m down for it!
Love your videos! Must be a blast doing all those trips! Alyssa and her facial expressions are pure gold! 😂 I’m looking at getting a Model 3 myself!
You’re patient people, I always take my ICE vehicle on long trips.
They are young and adventurous, plus all the views and ad revenue doesn't hurt.
You: 2nd lunch?
Wife: No!
Thanks for wonderful video
That's for filming and sharing your experience. Very helpful. This trip scenario was very painful, not really a fault of the Tesla, but it did contribute to the challenges in making that trip.
Lmao at Alyssa 16:29 😂
That Tesla EVSE changer has some major electrical code violations...
twcz3 lick it
Seems like a lot of work but Thank You for sharing the journey!! 👍🏼
Dude your girls adorable
yea buddy kyle must make some good $$$$
KrazyKrzysztof this is the kind of video where if she left him, and her new boyfriend asks her what happened...she loads up this video and he’s like ohhhh I get it
Love your channel Kyle. On the supercharger terminology, AFAIK the V1’s were the original 90kw chargers. The 120kw and 150kw are both V2.
Wife: "14 hours? We're flying instead!"
Husband: "Do you even carbon footprint bro?"
Yeah, because driving a Tesla is somehow making that all better.
@@seanfyodorovich5230 Whatever your position is on BEV's, any car is better than flying if you're concerned about your carbon footprint.
1 1/2 hrs tops by plane $75 dollar ticket
I only fly first class or drive an ICEV. Flying does not add carbon if you utilize scheduled commercial flights. If you charge at night you are burning coal which is worse than driving an efficient ICEV. The batteries are very bad for the environment as well.
Brian the disinformation campaign is working on you...
That is an awful lot of work for a road trip. Thanks for the great realistic video! I get "gas anxiety" making it to the next gas station on a trip but "charge anxiety" would be a bit much for my heart rate and blood pressure. Your wife is much more understanding than mine!
Was so glad when Metter opened and we could skip Savannah when we go ATL - St Simons.
The look she gave him about the rain and the battery 😂😂😂😂😂
I still love how clear the Model 3 display is
@Car Fli I always found the white in our original Model S, and our Current Model X to be nice, but with that screen they'd make it easy to change the colors unlike other cars I've been in
Somewhere I started hating these Maps and Estimated times to arrival. It just gives me anxiety. Gone are the days when you just hop into a car and drive to your destination, taking in whatever comes your way. Traffic, Crashes, Bad weather etc etc.
V3 is great when it works.
We got a V3 in Nashville just before Thanksgiving which was very welcome for those travelling through here. In the intervening period a cabinet has failed twice cutting the station down to four.
Seems Tesla have some revisions to make before they put too many more V3's out there.
That’s what it sounds like. Typical Tesla releasing an unfinished project lol
Outstanding video. Alyssa is a doll.
I’ve been making videos like these for my Leaf over here in Japan since 2014 and I have to admit your wife is way more fun to watch than mine. My wife hates it when I make these kind of videos and she lets me know every time I start filming, but your wife is a way better sport and even adds a lot of personality to your videos. Because I have my children in the car and UA-cam is barking at me about the new rules coming in January I pretty much privatized my whole library of vids. I wish you a happy new year and I hope your channel has even more success next year!
Just want to thank Kyle for making these EV road trip videos. I do alot of long distance road trips and I see that EV's still have a long way to go before they can meet ICE cars' efficiency on time/distance. Perhaps in 5 years or so.
I think faster charging (V3) and charging curves to allow for fast charging to 80% are to important things. We’ll see but I agree, we are a few years away from it really not taking much longer than ICE
Thanks for the video sharing your road trip. I haven’t yet made a road trip in my Model 3 but I will someday.
Can US Teslas not use standard CCS public chargers? Here in the UK, Teslas can charge on any chargers, so, you can skip the supercharger queue. European Teslas have type 2/CCS sockets.
Love your rant about the missing charging capacity, but I guess you're looking too narrow.
They obviously have trouble to ramp up the production of the V3 components, but have already a good running production of the V2 components. They are installing V3 superchargers, for example in the trans canada highway, which had zero superchargers before.
I think the issue with building new locations is, you need to find a place, rent the space, get proper electrical connections for like 1 MW installed by the grid company and then you can start doing the construction work.
Extending a V1 supercharger a bit on the other hand doesn't require any of the steps before, but offer the same amenities for the drivers. Since you don't install an electrical connection exactly to the needs you can probably get away to draw some more power from the grid. This way you can get more throughput to the supercharger network without a long lead time.
I think they currently install as fast as they can, and the paperwork and third party companies have trouble to keep up the pace - since money isn't really an issue, after so many new cars have been sold.
Thanks for this video! We are planning a trip to Florida from Cary, NC so this video is super helpful! We are currently waiting for our Long Range Model Y to deliver. The same week of the est. delivery is when our trip to Florida is, so nervous and excited!
Just wait till every one has Tesla, do people have patience to wait in line to charge their car?
Does the battery get wet when you drive through the giant puddle?
SEem like absurd number of crashes given the distance they covered. What it is about this stretch? People not use to highway driving? Not leaving big enough gaps?
Hello from Savannah, LOL
I have been BINGING your EV roadtrip videos this weekend! Great channel I just stumbled upon. Funniest part of this one was you asking Alyssa to explain curbside pickup, lol. Hard to imagine a pre-pandemic world in which that was an oddity. I'm also so interested in the charging speeds. Intriguing that you could've likely done this trip faster in an ID.4 or something given the Tesla infrastructure and crowds in this area rarely had you pulling even 125. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
why does the rain effect the range? Can't be just wiper running, can it??
I hit a lot of these same chargers last summer on a trip from New Jersey to Orlando. I agree, the Savannah airport is a nice place to get out of the heat and get a Starbucks.
I've driven HOURS through blizzard conditions on holidays and not, and never seen close to this many accidents.
Same. It was definitely insane
1:15 "the depart app finished at 6 while I set it at 8". Yep, common bug, does that all the time on my model S so I gave up on it.
"Isn't that annoying" .... "yes" ...got a love it
Altamontay springs! Ha, it's just Al ta mont. No e sound. I used to live there so I know.
I have the M3P+ with the PUO as well. My efficiency was in the 300-350 wh/m range. Put the Fast Wheels EV01+ wheels on, with the aero inserts, it will improve range by 10%. Would love to see you do a video about that and compare. The ride is smoother with 18" on, and acceleration is faster too. If you want even more range, use the Michelin Energy Saver tires and make it the roadtrip wheel/tire combo! (18x8.5, 35mm and 70mm fits with no spacers on the PUO)
Will be doing a video on efficient / track wheels for performance 3 soon
@@OutofSpecMotoring Awesome, cant wait! These are the ones (www.canadawheels.ca/fast-wheels/ev01-plus-titanium-w179562) with the PS4S tires that are developed w tesla (the ones with foam and TO on the outside). Would be interesting to see how much the Michelin Energy Saver would increase the efficiency compared with the PS4S TO and the regular PS4S on these already very efficient wheels on a roadtrip!
So glad I skimmed through this video! This just convinced me to NOT get a Tesla. Could only imagine what this trip would be like with my two toddlers...yikes! Thanks for sharing!
Your wife is hilarious 😂
I hate how the Model 3 windshield have the issue of smudging when it rains. From what I've heard this seems to be a problem on Model 3s.
This is why Tesla needs to develope their cars with 600 to 700 mile range, your recharging would be less frequent and of course level 3 please!
Is there not a CCS adapter that you could use at Electrify America?
Great video Kyle and Alyssa. I am impressed you got this video up so quickly. I have driven down from Toronto to FL on 3 occasions last year. It is nice to see how these SC are holding up. Tomorrow I am going to fly down but initially I was up to drive as I find the experience to be not as bad as people think. I have an older MS so I won't be able to experience the higher charge rates. You are lucky to have a newer car.
I've ordered the CyberTruck tri motor fsd & getting ready to order the S dual motor as well..I've made enough with TSLA to buy both..I love Space X, StarShip & all ELON does..
I am also from triangle area and traveled back from FL to RDU on 1/1/2020, supercharges at Kingsland and Savannah were packed with teslas, though everybody is chill.
😂😂 the road trips with you two are hilarious! Safe travels!
Thanks for the trip video. I have a Model Y reservation and drive from Central Florida to Asheville, NC often so the southern I-95 experience is most enlightening. Hoping for rapid expansion of V3 Superchargers over the next year!
The last time I did that drive for Christmas (from VA), the bottom half of NC and ALL of SC was a traffic jam. The last 40 miles of SC took 2 hours. ALL of that needs to be 3 lanes.
Mine did the same 'freaking out' a few times Dec24 on just a 60km run to a newish 250Kw SC. The weather was foggy and the wipers went ballistic. Yet the windshield was clear. The sky looked a monotone grey so that's likely why AP flipped out. I am starting to think the AI needs more visualisations or to coordinate better with the radar & all cameras for a consensus on the weather.
I go through Florence, SC a few times a year on the way to my parents on the NC coast (from ATL)...I too am amazed at how unused it is. The location is right off 95, and I have never seen more than about 5 stalls used. Now, one you didn't visit on this trip (but mentioned the town) is in Greenville, SC. That only has 8, and it is frequently very full.
Ever try RainX on the front window to save power for the wipers? I do and do not own a Tesla yet. We are waiting until one of our cars is used up. (10 years at least hopefully).
More importantly, I wonder if you could put RainX on the cameras to keep them working in weather? I have not tried it on the cameras on my Pilot, but I will.
The power draw is tiny for the wipers compared to everything else but yes, I just haven’t detailed this car and done my usual new car process. Been on the go too much!
@@OutofSpecMotoring not that you down south would have the issue, but up north the RainX is great for getting ice and snow off as well. (I do not work for them, just love not using my wipers.)
What’s the name of the rader detector your using ?
how did u get free. supercharging?
Why all the 1/2 ton truck pulling open bed trailer stays on the passing lane?
Yeah you got to love the optimism from her.
How is the tyre pressure? That can affect range greatly.
Send some of that rain here Down Under, everythings either extremely dry and hot (40C+/104F+) or on fire
Just watching this a year later, and it's funny seeing you have to explain what curbside pickup is. Wouldn't have to do that now!
OMG! My TYPE "A" personality could not tolerate this constant worry about charging!
Yep charging stress would drive each adult member of my family into mental breakdown, I can barely stand them now. I bet many murders will occur at charging stations with families sitting there hour, it will be the most dangerous spot in each city, once less rich families are pushed to buy EVs. Ha.
I have a busy career and side business that requires a lot of traveling and planning. This is for people who need something extra to do. When I drive my vehicle for a vacation, I want to free of this kind of nonsense. I also don’t want it to take 4 hours longer!
@@billm47645 There are many factors to this video. The guy said this was literally on Christmas eve which is one of the most busy days of the year while driving. Also they counted 14-15 wrecks throughout their whole trip, they said that they do charging differently, and they had to wait in line at a charging station for 20 mins ( which he said it was the first time they ever had to wait and it was because it was Christmas eve). If you check with google maps this drive is normally 12.5 hours with a traditional gasoline vehicle WITHOUT any stops. I have made plenty of 13hour drives in a gas vehicle and i have had to make multiple 30min stops along the way. It took them 14 hours to complete this drive with all the stops included. There is maybe a 30 minute difference in this trip between a gas vehicle and this Tesla.
Come on Cybertrk and V3 can't get here fast enough. One thing I observed from your video and it reenforced my go-to travel plan is to travel at night and sleep in the day like working the night shift, less competition for SC stalls and less traffic on the road.
why do you have 2 years of free charge on the car?
Great review thanks for showing negatives owing an EV how much extra time did it took 🤔
I love these roadtrip videos guys, keep it up. Your wife is really funny too, she is as crazy as my wife..
@@alyssazupan3944 He should do something about that asap.
Alyssa Zupan haha.. Well Christmas time is the perfect time to do it right? 😂
The I-95 corridor is all V2. V1 are the early unlit stalls that provide about 110 kW. I don’t think there are any V1 stalls remaining in the US. Savannah was originally V1 back in the day. It’s definitely due for a V3 upgrade or even an expansion now.
V2 got an upgrade last year increasing speed from 120 kW to 150 kW on almost all with a few exceptions.
My son inlaw made the trip on Dec 23. From Santee to Savannah took 4+ hours. The 95 Pinch in SC was in play and an accident with fatality.
Oh..V 3 is in Palm Bay/West Melbourne as of Dec 31
I was incorrect regarding Palm Bay. sorry
Why do I like watching road trips :) Probably cus I'm in the dreary UK and you can everywhere in a day! Managed 60 mph average yesterday over 100 miles and saw 270 wh/mi so you put me off the P+ maybe the LR AWD instead next.
the perfect reason to own a Tesla and have a perfect Christmas eve
the traffic cones displayed on the screen is realistically not a bad idea because it tells the computer when it travelling through a potential construction zone. This basically tells the car to travel carefully when its in autopilot. Also it helps people that cant see very well while travelling at night.
Awesome road trip. Thanks.
You don't need a dash cam in Tesla model 3 since it has inbuilt dash cam system and when you press on , it records things for 15 minutes and save it for further review !
Yes
Nice video! My 2018 P3D (PUP) made to to Ocala Florida from a 100% charge at Savannah. I had 6% SoC remaining when I arrived at the Ocala Florida Supercharger. I’m going to see how my range compares making the same run in April with my new 19” Tesla Gemini wheels with PS4S on them. Oh and you should have your Wh/mi tab open and give efficiency updates during your return trip! Enjoy your vacation and have a safe trip back.
ROAD TRIP!! More road trips, please!!! BRING ALYSSA!!!! She’s very pretty and quite funny.
Why did you go from a model x to a model 3?
You know you are quite crazy, right? The both of you!! You’re pretty lucky that she goes on these long trips with you.
Do you have a regular job, or is UA-cam your regular job?
I think it’s kinda scary that you are familiar with all these highways and charging stations!
You remind me of John Candy in Planes, Trains and Automobiles where he was acting the obnoxious know-it-all :D
How did you get 2 years of free super charging?
Purchased the car by end of September 2019
