Don’t know what the heck happened at 19:59 but if someone has a video editing software they recommend we’ll listen 😅
We in north we use the power of 4 , four time the distance to start, four times the distance to stop!
Premiere Pro (For Professionals and if you know your way around complex editing software)
Filmora (For People new to editing, more intuitive, easy to operate)
Davinci Resolve. The free version is plenty for most users. If you decide to go with the studio paid version it's a one time purchase. It works great on Mac and PC.
Thanks for the return trip! I told you I’m about 2 weeks behind on my content 😂
Omg ❤️ appreciate you my dude!!
Denver to Las Vegas is the most scenic view throughout the country. Great road trip!
Yes it is. Especially when it’s not covered in snow 😂 we’re doing it again soon!
I’ve only ever been in a Tesla once (Uber) but I love watching these Tesla road trips 😆 Maybe you can plan a roadtrip up the Oregon coast to Cannon Beach, it’s my favorite drive (once out of cali that is). Also some of the editing was really funny in this one, a great Saturday morning “car”toon to watch while I drink my coffee 😊
Haha thank you!! We’re trying to get better always. That would be an awesome road trip but after this one we’re done for awhile 😂
You can check @EverydayChris got a video to Cannon beach road trip to Oregon with his Model Y AWD.
I love your road trip videos! I just wanted to let you know that your road trip videos really helped me understand and trust my '23 MYP when I drove it halfway across the country when I moved from TX to Vegas.
Thank you! Glad to hear that! I know range anxiety is a big thing but with how accurate the Tesla’s estimates are and how reliable the charging network is, you can feel very confident in road tripping with the navigation’
@@vegasteslafamily I was so nervous at the beginning of my trip, but after the second road trip day, I started to see that it was very accurate, and I started becoming more confident. I was quite impressed with how accurate it is and I trust the car completely now. :). Before this move, I only drove my car around the city, but feel like I didn't really know my Tesla until now and I love it even more than I did before. :)
Thanks for sharing this epic drive.
I look forward to when
Haha! It’ll only get better from here. But honestly, already at each stop by the time by the time we went to the restroom and got a snack or drink, the car was ready. So 15 mins vs 5 mins wouldn’t make a difference for us or most road trippers. But for ride share drivers, absolutely
fun to watch! great job guys :)
Thank you! 😁
Let it snow, let us snow !!!! Glad your all well
Ugh!! Haha thank you!
Thanks for making a comprehensive documented trip! Makes me want to road trip now.
@@Jhundo100 thanks for watching! Rewind to the part where we were in the snowstorm and you will no longer want to road trip 😂
…haha! I saw that. I love that part. Makes for conversation starters down the line (pending. survival) lol
Great JoJo story!!! Glad to see you made it through all the nasty weather. My wife and daughter are driving from AZ to Pittsburgh next month in my '23 Model 3 RWD. It's not a long range, but I'm confident in the network to make it a breeze!!!
That’ll be a fun trip!!
@@vegasteslafamily - I look forward to it too!
I was raised in Nebraska and I appreciate the Wide Open Spaces and it's Ogallala like oh
Haha we will get it right next time!
I used to love crossover episodes on TV when I was younger. This video was a great crossover with several other content creators I subscribe to that frequent CO and Nebraska. Great video!
Who are the creators? Just curious as I know a lot as well! 😁
@@vegasteslafamily The two main ones from middle America are Kyle Connor and the Out of Spec network and All Electric Family www.youtube.com/@AllElectricFamily. If you watch a couple of their videos, you will here the pronunciation you struggled with. ;-)
Yeah I think it is so cool what you’re doing I’m learning a ton. I just got a Model Y and so did my wife super stoked it is so fun I haven’t felt like driving was that fun in a long time
Appreciate that! Thanks for the comments. Definitely still fun to drive 2 years later for us lol
You guys look like my parents. My mom is Asian and my dad looks like my dad. My parents were able to marry because New Hampshire because New Hampshire didn’t have a ban on interracial marriages. My parents will celebrate their 60th anniversary next week. Keep on Vlogging!!!! 😅
Dang that’s crazy to hear! Congrats to them!! And thank you 😁
I think it's hilarious when you guys slap your food 😂
😂 we like trying new things
Loved seeing your golden! Ours looks the same when we get back from a trip. All smiles!
He’s like this all the time! 😇
Ya, I grew up in the Wiggins, Fort Morgan, Brush area for over 15 years. To be fair, there really isn't a whole lot out in that area on the surface, but there are still some neat places. It's definitely a farming and ranching country. In Fort Morgan, they have a skydiving place called "Skydive orange skies" if you take Main Street to the north. You go past the swimming pool and the park and Rainbow bridge and follow that out. There are some pretty good restaurants on the south side of Fort Morgan like Cables, Chef's Da, Acapulco Bay, and Santiago's off of Platte Ave. But Maveriks Adventure Stop next door to the Hampton has some good breakfast food in the hot bar that I highly recommend next time you're in town or probably any maveriks. They've got breakfast bowls, breakfast burritos, breakfast pizzas. Oh, also, Peppy's Coffee next door to the Hampton is fantastic and arguably better than the Starbucks. One other place I recommend is Ben's Brick Oven Pizza or the Pepper Pod. They are both by the Love's at the Hudson exit on I-76, I think like exit 30 or 31. Rocky Mountain winters are no joke. Ive driven those roads and that stretch of I-70 many times and its not for the faint of heart.
@@FiendFyreNyx this is good to know! We would have love to spent some time in some towns, but with all that weather, we wanted to get home asap
HyVee is a pretty big grocery chain in the Midwest. 5 of the Supercharger stations in Kansas City are at HyVee stores.
Didn’t k ow that but figured!
13:01 Oh-ga-la-la. I drove my new Y back from Denver yesterday. Stayed at AmericInn by chance with superchargers. They offer $7 breakfast for Tesla owners who stop for a charge. The bathroom off the lobby is nice. We had to dodge hail twice on I-80.
So we were close with the pronunciation? 😂 definitely a fun town. Good to know! I-80 is crazy lol
I cant believe you said you might be the only Tesla in Nebraska LOL there are thousands of us on the roads in Omaha alone . that super charger you used is always empty in the mornings
plus a lot of the locals charge at home .
We didn’t see any! 😂 but that’s great to hear
My family live in Chicago and vacation in Gulf Shores AL. We find hotels with destination chargers. Saves a little money and charge while we sleep
We would’ve done this if we didn’t have free supercharging! We tried, whenever we were ready to stop the places with destination chargers were either off the highway or like twice the price for a night
@@vegasteslafamily or the spots are blocked by ICE vehicles. I get it
I have lived my entire life in Colorado and have even had snow in June. Colorado weather is crazy but I prefer it over the hot heat like Las Vegas 😂
That’s crazy! Obviously we were not expecting that kind of snow 😅 we definitely prefer the heat!
Great video, really fun to watch but I don’t envy that driving in CO! Glad you made it home to the dogs safely!
Definitely was an experience to say the least! Thank you!
Let’s gooo
Let’s gooo
Quick stop
Quick stop
I’ll repeat all what you say
I’ll …… wait what? 😁
😂
It's great to see a roadtrip like this Im jealous. Glad to see u guys having a great time. Btw are you guys running with all season tires? I havent try driving during snow.
These are stock tires! Thank you
You guys do a good job editing and putting good quality video out there, well done.
Thank you!!
Nice fun video. I just had a bad experience driving into a hail storm on rt 66. Windows fogged up so bad i couldn't see a thing. Also, did you have winter tires or all weather?
Sounds scary! We have all weather
Looking forward to a Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe road trip video soon
Do you have access to our notes with our summer plans? 🤔😂 coming soon!
Great trip! Glad they didn’t shut the highway down on I-70. Looked pretty bad.
Thanks! Honestly with the number of accidents we saw and how bad it was, I was surprised it was open
You guys do a great job...
Thank you!
You can drag the heated seats on the screen to have them left and right. Separate from the 5 things you can have there. Just drag one to next to the temp and another one on the right side.
And also is good to swipe right on the music until you see the TPMS. On a long trip is good to know the tire pressure at all times. Especially when switching from 70F to 32F. Low pressure can also pop your tires. And the car is heavy, lots of pressure on the tires.
Ooo this is a good tip! Other than this trip, we live in vegas so we don’t use those much!
Another good tip! We did check when we got to the cold!
I do all the driving in my Model Y on road trips. Well, Autopilot/FSD does the driving. My wife is always sleeping. I bought a messaging seat cover for her and it knocks her right out LOL!!!.
@@KineticEV haha I’m lucky she drives! Also, massage seat cover? This is a thing?? 🤔🤔
Just amazing to watch
Thank you!
Saves in gas, spends in food 😂
Fair enough
😂 this is true lmao
You guys are awesome!
@@realunitedfly thank you!
I’ve been on the fence about jumping on the EV bandwagon for a long while now. It’s a cool video. However, tbh, it made me even more hesitant than before… it’s a constant anxiety of reaching to the next charging station on battery fumes (~5%) , every 2 hours you’re forced to idle for at least 30 minutes or more which drags the trip much longer (sometimes you just want to arrive). I like the concept of daily commute savings but I won’t buy such an expensive vehicle that cannot handle reasonably (in my eyes) the occasional long road trips.
I’d argue it more than reasonably handles it. Driver fatigue is non-existent thanks to autopilot. Unless you have an iron bladder, we’re usually stopping every 2-3 hours anyway for restroom or food
Bro, grow some balls. It is not a big deal.
Great video! What were your final charging stats?
We didn’t add them all up
I’m gonna start with a 24 model Y and run it up then grab a Cyber Beast 😎have them both both tent all the way side by side 🇺🇸
That’s awesome!
Snow in May is the most Colorado thing ever
Unbelievable 😩
New model Y long range owner here too…how’d it handle in the snow?
We were pretty cautious because we’re from vegas and don’t see snow like ever. But it was great.
Hi… what tires do you have during this road trip? And during those harsh snowy conditions did you encounter any issues? Thanks in advance 🙏😊
These are the original tires! We went slow, no issues
@@vegasteslafamilythank you!!! Keep safe always! Looking forward to your next road trip 😊
I CAN SEE THE INSPIRATION YOU GUYS HAVE FROM RYAN TRAHAN 😀😀
😁 he’s one of our favs to watch
Just found your channel. Enjoying the Tesla content. I'm considering getting one. One of my concerns is not being able to find charging station and being stranded. LOL !! noticed you guys seem to be looking for one a lot in the video. Do you worry you wull not find one or is the network so big now that it's really not a worry?
Hey! So, we’re not really “looking” for one, but rather trying to find one that would make the most sense for us to stop at. There’s so many in the US, they’re not hard to find. In fact, the navigation show all the locations and stall available.
But, we only use them on road trips. There’s no need unless we drive 300+ miles a day. 99% of the time this isn’t even a concern as we plug in overnight in our garage 😊

In the storm. Did the Tesla display cars in front of you. Or the central display didn’t work cuz of the storm?
There were times it gave me low visibility warning but it always showed the cars. Idk if the distances were the same - I was so focused on surviving lol
What do you use to clean the windshield on your trips during stops ?
Sorry forgot to link that! It’s this bottle that’s just a few bucks on Amazon, surprised how well it did for how cheap it is
amzn.to/4ack9dm
I’m hoping to go to CO in June. I hope it snows then too!! 🤣🤣 I LOVE the cold!
I sure hope it doesn’t in JUNE 😂
Can you do a video on your favorite long range driving tips and tricks
Yeah! I have an old one, quality isn’t great that’s when we first started this UA-cam thing but definitely on my list to make a road trip tips video
Who makes your freezer in the Tesla?
@@andersonwalkes2518 EvBase! Use code “vegastesla” to save some money!
Эх, у нас на Тесле ездить гиблое дело. Где нибудь в тайге застрянешь и конец😅😅😅. Потому что у нас станции только в Ангарске и Иркутске есть. К сожалению😢😢. Вам удачи в творчестве 👍👍👍👍
Hope the rest of the world catches up with charging infrastructure soon!
Do you also think it is imported to do that protectant coverage people do to protect their cars. Also do wraps protect cars and do you recommend them
I don’t think so we don’t have it
Mics sound great!
Thank you! 😁
As a Nebraska native, you absolutely missed out by not getting runza
Also it’s oh-gah-la-la 😂
We will next time I promise. In a few weeks 😉
We are getting run a in a bit!
how did you get free supercharging?
We had referral credits!
I would live in Edwards Colorado any day of the week over Las Vegas! :)
Ha! To each their own!
Is it better for long range driving to do micro charging I notice you do that a lot.
Generally, more stops with less time at each stop is the faster way to go!
Next time you stop to charge at the Kum &Go in Des Moines, walk across the street to “Smokey D’s BBQ”. You guys like BBQ and it’s pretty good !
We didn’t even see this! Definitely will check it out
Is your model y AWD?
Yes long range AWD
What do you guys use Long Range?
Yes long range AWD
Do Teslas have water for the wind shields like normal cars.
Yes
Do Tesla Model Y have water 💦 that comes out for the wipers
I believe so
Jojo called carmens ornament pick ugly so i thought she was going to pick a really beautiful one then chose an ornament that is essentially an advertisement lol
Lmao! Thank you for the support 😂
Did you use Autopilot a lot?
Absolutely
I've made the Vegas trip from Omaha many times and have taken all three routes i still think the best route is through Wyoming even though its a little longer . the southern route is trash .
How much longer is that northern route!
Did you guys chained up for that snow?
Nope!
Do u guys let auto pilot do
Most of the work ?
Absolutely
You use fsd on your trips?
This one we did on the way to Chicago with the free trial!
How much long did it take then a gas powered vehicle?
Google maps says this is about a 24 hour trip of just driving, not including any stops.
How much are you paying at each charging stop. I want to plan my trip using cost per charge.
never mind. Free Supercharging
Ah yes sorry we had free supercharging on this trip!
We came the opposite way earlier this week (Idaho to NY). Stayed in North Platte. The Runzas are really nice. Coming home we were 1-2 hours ahead of the storms. This was the first time in our 30 years that my wife ever told me to "go faster." BUT - can you explain the charge rates in Nebraska? When I got home I saw for N. Platte-> (kWh x $) 4x.23+11x.45+10x.74+2x1.20 = 27 kWh for $15.67 or 55 cents/kWh. Lincoln NE was even worse came to 86 cents per kWh! WTF?! BTW you should have visited the Pony Express Museum in Gothenburg. The fellow working there was great and the stuff inside really cool.
I wish we stopped in Gothenburg! 86 cents per kWh is crazy. Is that accurate? We have free supercharging so I didn’t even bother to look at costs
@@vegasteslafamily Oh I misread it. It looks like they charge by the minute, and I didn't write down how much I actually charged at each stop. The Lincoln, NE West O Street in the Navigator only says the rate is 0.23-1.25. My report says 2 minutes @ $0.47 per min + 8 mins at $0.76 + 4 @ $1.25. And cost me $12.02 so that was 86 cents per minute. OK, looking at the non-Nebraska chargers I was getting average 2kWh/minute on my Y/LR so I guess 43 cents per kWh. No explanation other than it is tier 1, 2, 3 charge rates. Ugh.
@@vegasteslafamily is it lifetime free supercharging or for a restricted period? I bought my Tesla Model Y RWD on the 1th of November, got it delivered on the 26th, and in the meanwhile got a mail that I will have free supercharging for a whole yaer. That was a very nice present and I am using it as much as I can. It makes you feel very lucky to be able to do free roadtrippin... I live in Belgium in Europe and it is free supercharging all over Europe.
Wtf , the truck-stop is big , that normal in usa ?
This was our first time staying at one but honestly, the ones I’ve seen, I believe so!
Wonder if it can make it by FSD
The day FSD can drive through this snow storm is the day I drop 15k on it
You charge it more than 80%?
On road trips!
Hello brother, your car is very nice, what color is it?
This is the midnight gray!
Does that truck fridge build up heat in the truck, even with those little pads ?
It does but it's not high heat. There is enough air flow that it doesn't affect the operation
Very little! I feel like just a small crack of ventilation goes a long eay
@@vegasteslafamily so if you have a truck rubber mat, should you not put it down so you don’t trap the heat in ?
@@bt4b4 our trunk liner didn’t impact it much with the pads it came with
how much did it cost for the whole trip like for the superchargers like ik if you used gasoline cars it would be so much higher just want to know how much it cost for this long of a road trip for just charging the car throughout the trip
So we had free supercharging for this trip, but last time we took this route about a year ago, we paid like $150-200. It depends on the time of day and rates, like if you were to overnight it you’d get much cheaper charging rates
We have found that supercharging is generally half of what we would have paid with petrol, however, if you can manage to plan your supercharging for non peak hours or late night, than the cost is roughly a quarter the cost of petrol…
We drive a Model 3 | AWD | Dual Motor | LR | 19” Wheels | FSD | Pearl White with White Seats (Chose model and colour, hopefully because it is the most efficient, draining the battery less in more extreme heated climates)…
🤔
FSD or any type of cruise control is not advised to be used in bad weather.
Wonder how it’ll be when it’s level 4 in this kind of weather
Oh-guh-lala
So we were right haha
What’s your range on 100%?
Don’t know we haven’t charged to there! Likely 300
You can’t go on The weather app Colorado can have all four seasons in one day nice and sunny one minute and whiteout the next
Yep we learned that the hard way
@@vegasteslafamily I used to live in Colorado Springs which is south of Denver on I 25 and it got to the point where the weather man was basically saying that it is Colorado I could tell what we expect but it could be the opposite
@@Docduderjr yep I 100% believe that lol
Thinking of getting a Tesla Model Y. What was the total cost of all the Supercharging for your 1800 mi. Adventure? Thanks.
Hey! Sorry we had free supercharging for this trip. However, last time we took this route it was about $150-$200. It depends on rates, which depend on time of day at most superchargers.
❤❤❤
Umm... she's TIRED alot? Baby on the way?? 😊
1800 miles in 2 days I’d be tired too 😆
And extra hungry...😮😮😮 Baby signs to me.
No no no lol
YES!!! Give us some grandkids !!!😂😂
I didn't know they are married ??
you left your address in the video when you were showing something on the screen. not sure if its an issue or not
Send us some fan mail 😁 but thanks for the heads up

Would have never known this!
She definitely pregnant.
Nope nope nope

At one point, I had to stop watching the video. Its all about charging every two minutes of video. I would rather get a Plug-in Hybrid or hybrid for long road trips. Videos are good though.
@@anjansingh3093 what do you mean? What would you have rather seen more of?
