    Bought my M3RWD in December and have put 5,000 miles on it already. Next month I'm driving it to Florida (about 600 miles), then in June I'm driving it to Tucson, AZ, (about 2200 miles). I'm going to have a lot of experience in road tripping by the time summer gets here!

    The new LFP battery can be charged to 100% with no problems a few times a week. The screen reminds you that regenerative braking will not be available until the battery drops down a few %.

      @MonsterGadgets  2 роки тому

      Thank you and Nice! Congrats on your M3! My experience has been really good so far except the first time I camped out in it. I was parked at the supercharger and when I fell asleep, shortly after the lawn sprinklers came on and I woke up. Besides that one incident, I’ve can’t think of any other issues that I’ve had. I love the fact that I can pull over at anytime and just camp out. Although I always try to plan it at or near a supercharger.

    The second tip is irrational. So what does it matter if you cannot regen right away after a 100% charge? It doesn't. There is no loss or gain in this suggestion. Also number 7 does not add any range or less stops.

      @@JeffMathias you might want to take a remedial reading class. His headline reads as follows. "Tesla Road Trip Battery Charging Tips! Less Stops And More Range" Charging to 100% and temporarily losing regen has nothing to do with the brakes. Also, unless he was charging on a downhill slope when he pulled out the vehicle would still regen when he came to a downhill slope down the road.

    Good video my friend. Definitely takes a little more planning at first in our Tesla. I laugh at the naysayers gobbling gas that say this can’t be done. It can easily be done with a tiny bit more planning. Superchargers are literally all over, even the car tells you where to stop on long trips. The planning comes into play by deciding what you will do at each stop for 25 minutes. Bathroom break? Grab a bite? Play a game on the monitor? It’s really not rocket science. Let’s see the naysayers go into camping mode in their chevy malibu 😂. Nope, they’re either shelling out for a hotel, or getting a bad nights sleep 🤣. Greatest car ever, I’ll never buy a gas vehicle again.

      That’s about a 9.5 hour road trip. The way Tesla routes on the stops is generally a 15-20 min stop unless there isn’t a stop for a while and generally it will get you to a charger with a low state of charge. This allows for a quicker charge. The lower the battery, the faster it will charge and it will charge enough to get you to the next charger.

    How significant is the charging prices compared to the old prices? I hear Tesla has changed the amount to make a charge and its pretty high up there.

    • @MonsterGadgets
      @MonsterGadgets  2 роки тому +2

      It really depends on which location you charge at and the time you charge at. It varies slightly. However if you want to compare it to gas, it’s still doesn’t even come close. Meaning Charging your Tesla is far cheaper.

      Not sure which model 3 you had and why your charging for 30 min at a time? I personally have not experienced that at all with my model 3 performance and daily commute. During travel, I always follow what the car recommends for charge time and at times go a lil over but I don’t find myself sitting there wasting time as i coordinate it with restroom breaks or to grab a bite to eat. I’m not a BMW fan but the M3 is a nice car but also a completely different experience. Premium gas and a lot of it.
