I like the longer charging stops just because it forces you to stop and take a break. I'll be too bored to sit so it'll motivate me to get out and move which is what is recommended for a healthier lifestyle. I already have back problems from sitting all day so this is a plus
Yeah I felt WAY more energy at the end of that road trip than I ever did after a gas car road trip. It really does help to stop and move around for a bit every couple hours
@@remboldt I agree, and looked around so much. I am set to get my order in summer of next year, that shows you how many people agree with you. My only complaint is the yoke, would much rather a steering wheel.
I’ve gone to all those chargers in my Model 3 In Georgia & Lake Mary so that was cool to see! I’m in Tampa - and just got a Model X 100D - thanks for the video! I’d def stretch the charging a little bit more but it was still a good video! Makes me want to take another trip but in the MX 🙏🏽
Great video! I am in the market to get a Model X and I like the honest review with commentary. Its impressive how planning can make a huge difference on how to travel via EV long distance charging.

@@therelaxedtraveler2613 Nice! I believe the 2018 models built March or later are the best value - that way you get the new MCU. Mine had 12k miles and I got it over 40% depreciated. Enjoy shopping, let me know if you have questions!
@@remboldt Great to know. That's good information, thank you for that. Definitely will let you know. I test drove one in 2019, and it was a great experience. Thanks again. Stay connected.
Thanks for the video. Live in Atlanta and take this route to Miami in my MX too. I have to do 67 speed just to make it to Tifton GA on my first leg. 😫 . That's 180 miles from my house. Valdosta must be newly opened.
Nice video. I am on the fence about purchasing an X. I am curious if you think theres any reason not to purchase a pre-owned like 2019 or 2020 vs waiting for new 2021 "refresh"?
Unless you're willing to wait for the 4680 batteries, which I'm guessing won't be part of the build til late 2021 or sometime 2022 at the earliest - then the best value in my opinion would be a late 2018 Model X (just make sure it has the MCU2; the Tesla rep they'll assign to you can tell you)
@@lbentley516 thank you for watching! I’ve got a full Model X review I’m working on now - it’s the best thing you can buy right now in my opinion.

I have a model 3 LR. When the internal nav says 23 minute charge. Do yourself a favor go to 30 minutes. Some trips i have done like this, cuts 2 to 3 charge stops.
I’m looking at ordering the X Plaid model since they brought back the steering wheel by popular demand. I gotta say 7 stops for 700 miles is quite a bit. I also read that you should only charge to 80% and not run down below 20%, so now I’m worried about the range. I usually drive 405 miles between homes and thought the Tesla would be a better option due to it’s Enhanced AutoPilot. Is it also true that the AutoPilot will not work when going over 80 MPHs? Any feedback will be appreciated..
The plaid gets a lot worse range. Tesla numbers are always WAY off. My 2023 LR is getting around 2.0-3.0 miles per % depending on cabin temp. speed, wind. I do 70 for the AC and 70-75 MPH. Advanced Autopilot works up to 85MPH. The Yoke is amazing very comfortable. I have to make a trip that is 300 miles and I have to stop once sometimes twice if I dont top to 100% before leaving, but I jump on the road the second it stops charging to save the battery. There are so many variables that go into your range its impossible to say what yours will be. The 20-80 rule I was told doesnt apply to highway driving because your burning the energy off and the battery is staying cool from the AC so going to 10% a long trip is fine.
@@pepepingu9842 this is my 3rd Tesla, I had the 3 and the Y. I no longer worry about it, I am never in that much of a hurry, you can supercharge in under 20 minutes on most stops. I charge when it needs it and just enjoy the car. Maybe you should look at the Model Y, I loved that car, and with the price reduction and the $7500 tax credit its a good deal. Unless you want the extra comforts that the X offers its not worth $100K, you can buy 2 Model Y or a 3 and Y for the same price. I only upgraded because I have a big dog, take long trips, and the extra cargo room when I drop the seats is a lot better on trips and my Y was paid off. The only real difference is the air ride suspension, yoke, doors and 1 foot longer and 7 inches wider, wider screen, amazing speakers, and a screen in the back for kids to watch netflix but its a tiny screen. That's really about it that I notice. Not really worth the extra 50K in my opinion. The Model 3 LR got really good range but since they dont have American Made batteries the LR only gets 1/2 the tax credit, but still a great deal. A lot less of a risk when getting your first Tesla. Side note- The model S is cheaper and has a lot of the same features as the X and its range was really good. I had a loaner for 8 days.
Great video. I didn't realize you live in TN until I started watching the video. I live in Murfreesboro. I bought my first Tesla a couple weeks ago. A 2017 Tesla Model X. I have a new one ordered. That I ordered back in February. It was supposed to been here in April. Now it's supposed to be October. I didn't want to keep waiting. So I bought the 2017. I'm keeping my order for the new Model X. I still may take delivery of it. Anyway me and my family are planning our first long road trip in the Tesla. I hope my boys don't get to annoyed with all the stops.....lol
Nice purchase! I am personally MASSIVELY excited for the Cybertruck. Also - be sure to join Tesla TN, the facebook group! It's the official Tesla club locally :) Safe travels, see you at the superchargers!
We don't get the Model Y before Gigafactory Berlin opens but Tesla Bjørn has crazy road trips like this, 1000 km challenges and mountain trips and a spreadsheet to grab with all the tests.
My statement holds, the Giga Berlin will be sick. Mr Musk told he's envious of the paint jobs and he can't take the ruby red back home, I think he had his car wrapped to make up for it.
Yeah - and for some reason, right before the system had to reboot itself, the refresh hz was way different - probably not super related to the computer crashing, but still worth noting the apparently random refresh variability haha! Thank you for watching!
Prices for charging was way cheaper, this week it cost me $28 for one charge, and $25 for the other one, I normally charge at home, but the supercharger is a bit expensive now,
My mom purchased a used 2016.5 model x 90d with and updated ecu and free supercharging and on our trip from Seattle to Los Angeles and back was completely free
Well, I did leave home with a full charge, which doesn't show up on my supercharger bill list - and that $40 doesn't include the charging upon arrival. So, with both of those things taken into account, probably closer to $50-60 or so.
Hahaha! North up was needed for situational awareness of current position and destination, but path up is better for pretty much all off-highway driving and any time I’ve already been through somewhere before. For me, anyway.
Important to explain to people...MODEL X is much more energy hungry than the other TESLAs. A MODEL 3 Long Range would require fewer stops and can do higher speeds without worry. That said MODEL X is a wonderful vehicle. In terms of Watt hours per mile even the MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE can do 150 Watt hours less per mile. So if you want to go fast with great efficiency MODEL 3 is the car.
@@remboldt we're set to go from San Francisco to LA with our Model X P90D by the end of this month. We also have a Model 3 which we are also considering to use since the X will require us to stop 3x compare to the 2 stops on the Model 3. We take charging speed and range (295 vs 230) into consideration but we're a family of 5 with small kids so my wife prioritized the space for them. I do noticed though that the I get better efficiency on the Model X as soon as the batteries warm up so I guess we'll be fine on a long trip like this.
@@arismatias5364 have fun! I just did a 2500mi trip - first drove from Nashville TN to Austin TX for the Cyber Rodeo, and then extended the trip to Starbase near the Mexico border. Loved having the Model X for that!! What a fun trip. You all have a good and safe time out there!
It initially seems counterintuitive, but the battery charges really fast when it’s low. Once it’s above 50% or so the charge rate slows way down. So, 7 quick charges was way better than 3 or 4 really long ones
@@johns00982 also be sure to charge soon upon arriving at your destination - the range will go down a bit after you park and the battery cools off, so if you roll in with a low battery, go find a charger haha
There's a formula for this at "A better route planner" and you'll need to NAV to the charging spot. Sets up the car 15 minutes early for the charging. There's also a gadget for Scan My Tesla (adapter) in case you'd like to diagnose the car.
Hey, I am looking into buying Tesla. Can you do a video where you show how many miles P100D does on one charge at 70-80 MPH? 100% to a 0%. I ask cause at least 2 a year I do a 700 miles trip to visit my family. Thank you in advance.
This video actually is a pretty great example of a 700mi road trip - if the temps are in the 50s, this is about exactly what you can expect. My advice, don't drive 80mph, it's not worth the range hit. Going 100% to 0% is pretty bad for the battery; it's best to do what I did in this video here and do more of a 70-80% down to a 15-20% charging schedule. EV batteries aren't like gas tanks - they charge much, much faster in the middle ranges of the battery percentage than they do at the ends. I have a more recent video of a 500mi drive that has better tracking of charge times in it: ua-cam.com/video/PqgBQQz6xII/v-deo.html. Let me know if you have more questions! THANK YOU for watching

Try makin the same road trip with a wife and a couple of screaming kids in the back of Tesla. I can make the same distance in my Chevy Traverse with one 5 min "charging stop" at any gas station, get there faster while being more relaxed. But I have to admit that having autopilot is nice.
Nah. Autopilot means you get to your location more relaxed and less tired. Until you use autopilot you don't realize how much mental effort is necessary to drive and how tiring that can be.

RIGHT!! Haha soooo cheap - also mainly just tires as far as maintenance costs. I charge the battery to 80% normally day to day to keep it healthy, so that should last 15-20 years.
@@remboldt Keeping Li-ion batteries, assuming that's what Tesla uses, at 30-80% is crucial for extending lifespan. Why does it not surprise me that you know this? 😂
Thanks! I'll add those thoughts on the end of my next video - I had Tesla upgrade the MCU infotainment computer yesterday, and have a video about that coming soon
It seems counterintuitive, but it's because it takes FOREVER to charge from 60% or so to 100%. Better to do the fast rate of charge up to 50-60% and drive an hour or two to the next charger. Some routes don't have as many chargers though, so you have to charge to 90-100% at those, and it can take over an hour.
I want a Tesla, and I need this kind of video. I’ll get a Tesla for the city and road trips I have my Mercedes. Still getting a Tesla but not for road trip
