2023 Tesla Model Y Performance Driving from Florida to Indiana Full Self Driving Using Superchargers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- In this video, I just purchased a 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance and show my driving experience from Florida to Indiana using its Full Self Driving and Tesla's Supercharging Network.
This car and the network really surprised me. The car is very nice and there are superchargers everywhere. At first I thought a 10-25 minute stop would be a pain but after driving for 2-2.5hrs I found the stops relaxing. By the time I went in to use the restroom, got a drink and then walked back to my car it was charged and ready to go.

WOW!!! I really enjoyed this delivery type video. I've watched many of these in my time, but the way you're not just overly ecstatic and loud or just completely geeky about everything, is just sooo satisfying. Really calming actually. And I think that also has to do with how you're still sort of new to the whole system. Keep up the good work y man.
Well thank you. Trying to keep it real.
I have the same exact car and love it got it in July.....AMAZING
Agree. You considering winter wheels and tires?
not this year next year I am not driving it this winter@@Hunleygarage
I'm about to do the same drive this weekend. Nice.
Would be interesting to see if it routes you straight through. I was NOT paying any attention to the route. Have fun!
Glad that you figured out to not charge to 100% when supercharging. Saves lots of time and is better on the battery. Plus, charging to 100% is not often needed anyhow.
I am trying to stay between 20-80. If I have a long trip I’ll go to 90-95 right before I leave. I try to charge around 14-20 if possible.
Unless you have one with the LFP battery, then charging to 100 percent doesn't hurt the battery. Totally correct on charging above 80 percent taking longer, then it doesn't matter what battery chemistry you have. I typically try to charge to 100 percent before leaving on long trips then follow the supercharging stops provided by the navigation. I will occasionally allow the charge to go a little longer than the recommended amount depending on conditions and location. For example I recently did a stretch through the smoky mountains and made sure my battery was a little higher to account for the added drain of climbing the steep grades. Not entirely necessary but it doesn't hurt anything, still didn't charge above 80.
16:00: motels!? Missed opportunity, maybe: camp mode is practically free. I use this whenever possible. It’s pretty comfortable with proper setup.
I wanted to but didn’t have anything. Wanted to get a mattress made for that but it wouldn’t ship quick enough. Wanting to try camping this next year with it
Got my 2023 MYP a few months ago. I love the look of the performance.. It's the best car I've owned. So much fun to drive.
Agree. I wish I could have the LFP option but happy with the lithium ion. I am on the fence regarding looking for winter wheels and tires.
@@Hunleygarage The car feels glued to the ground even in the rain. I’m skipping the winter tires. Why do you want the LFP batteries? It gets less range and it’s slower.
LFP is projected to get around 10k life cycles instead of lithium ion’s 3k. Because of its iron base, it is heavier and I think a little bigger than the ion based battery. Because of that it does have less capacity per size/weight but it is less expensive, less volatile and has at least double if not triple the life cycles. You can also charge it to 100% and discharge to near 0. Because of that, you actually get the full capacity of the battery vs 60% of the ion (supposed to manage between 20-80% = 60% usable capacity for longevity). If you consider that you can use the iron based version from 0-100% without concern vs 60% of the ion - it actually has more useable capacity than an ion battery size/weight - a lot more.
If you figure using an ion battery from 10-90% - a cycle - at a 3,000 cycle life. And my Y gets 280 watts a mile and is a 75k watt battery - (75k x .8 = 60,000 watts / 280 watt/miles = 214 miles a cycle)
Lithium Ion - 214 miles a cycle x 3,000 = 642,000 miles per pack.
LFP - (say it has 60K pack which is same miles) 214 miles a cycle x 10,000 = 2,140,000 miles per pack.
I also have experience with LFP batteries in my Prevost - most everything uses them now - I want it in my EV.
I would work on a trade if they offered a Y with them.
Just my 2 cents.
@@Hunleygarage First, great explanation but I highly doubt most first time owners will keep the car for 642,000 miles so the ion battery will be fine. I see myself upgrading after 3-5 years (I’ll have 60k miles on my car just to get the new features and possibly the refresh version.
The performance is so worth it in my opinion. I would miss that a lot. Makes every ride a fun one and yeah I don’t get over 200 miles per charge but I still enjoy every mile more. I rent so I have to super charge once a week (nearest super charger is 12 mins away) and I still think the performance is worth every penny/charging session. Also LFP battles take longer to charge. I’ve heard almost an hour to get a full charge. So for renters it’s a problem. Range isn’t a problem for home owners and I don’t think life cycle is either. The average car owner in the US only keeps their car for 37 months.
Also I haven’t even included the fact that The performance models are uncommon. You see LFP and long ranges everywhere. I rarely see a MYP or even 3 performance.
@@ZKTheGreatI got my MYP this year and skipping the winter tyres as well. Picked it up in April and I have almost 15,000km on it. Didn’t feel like I’ve driven the car for that long. Best car I have owned. I live in an apartment and there’s a free government charger close to where I live so never bothered about installing a charger in my parking spot. Never supercharged the vehicle as well because I haven’t gone on any long trip. Most of the time, the free Level 2 charger gives me enough juice to get by weekly.
Really awesome I can’t wait till I get mine
Congratulations! It’s fun. They aren’t perfect but do their job well. One thing I’d check on is tires. Now that I have the performance model, wondering if I should have gotten the standard. I really like the lower stance, bigger wheels and tires, red calipers and speed - but find myself trying to see how efficient I can be. The performance set up also rides rougher. I’m thinking about another set of tires - maybe 18’s! For snow and alternate set up. I am finding the 21” wheels and tires on Facebook for a dime a dozen brand new - and can’t find the standard 18’s. Just something to consider.
Happy for you!
Thanks!
Thanks for the insight. Nice video.
Thanks
This is amazing- thanks for sharing your FSD experience. Does FSD work well in cities?
It works but I think we as a society aren’t ready. The cars follow the law, and when 99% of the human drivers don’t, it causes anxiety. It’s says driving on city streets will come in the future but it will already. When it stops to scan for traffic - it pauses for awhile to be certain it’s safe - which is good, but it causes pauses that humans don’t make. If that makes since.
@Hunleygarage totally makes sense! Thanks for the insight- there is still the 'human finesse' that the FSD system still has to learn. That being said, if FSD can perform 95% of the time-- will gladly intervene on those other 5% cases just to make the drive even more smooth.
Congratulations. I bought a Model S a few years ago when I lived in Indiana, picked it up in Chicago on a Monday and drove it to St. Pete that Friday. It's a heck of a way to get to know your car! It took me through "deliverance" country too! On the way back from Florida I kept it on the main highway though, that country back way had me arrive at the charger @ 3% state of charge on the way down.
Question, how did you go about purchasing through your mother in order to get the added FL incentives? I'm planning to purchase a Model 3 Performance soon and would definitely like to so the same thing!! I've moved from Indiana to Arizona and neither state has any EV incentives at all!
My mother is a resident and had her purchase the car with me. Because of that, we were able to register and get insurance in Florida. I got lucky on the rebates - who knows if they still have them. Good luck!!!
Just joined the Tesla Club too though am waiting for delivery. (Ultra Red Model Y P). That FSD you're using ... part of a standard trial that comes with new Tesla Model Y or something you got re: referral?
It is the FSD, that when I bought the car was free for 3 months. It is neat although not $15k neat. I figure if I really want it, I would do the monthly for $200. If I keep the car for 5 years - 60 * $200 = $12k - it's still cheaper to do by month.... On a long trip it is nice. For around town - hoping the next version is better - it's still like driving with a timid first time driver. I would recommend the data - I did the year at once for like $100 - so it was less expensive. No reason to waste money on the same thing. Make sure you get your phone all set up, always on, etc and learn where the wind shield wipers are - I left and it started raining and had no clue how to turn them on. My fault but lesson learned
Appears I was logged in the wrong account on that reply :)
Very close to, or over the legal line in your registration/buying plan.
Thanks
You forgot to open your fronk🎉😊😅❤🎉
Haha. I know. I didn’t know how!
Have you y had a chance yet to analyze why you had to grab the wheel at the first buc-eez stop and why the car took you off the interstate and onto a state highway?
I think the FSD has a bit to go when around chaos, but not sure how. I’ve noticed that the car follows the law to a T. We humans don’t, as much as we think we do. That’s when the issues begin. If people obeyed the speed limits, follow distance, traffic signs - FSD is really close. It’s because we have a vehicle doing everything right, that it feels so wrong - if that makes since. Speeding to maintain the flow of traffic. Maybe hitting the edge of a yellow light because it makes since to proceed vs slamming on your brakes. Knowing the other car is not paying attention and swerving into my lane - but instead of braking, just ease up on the speed - let them into my lane and then correct and get out. If all cars had FSD it wouldn’t be a problem. From my little experience letting it drive, it’s how it should deal with all the chaos that is the issue. At the stop, it wanted to get in the right lane, I wanted to go straight. The highway was on the route if I had paid attention - another couple I met a super charger said they go that way all the time…. Just my thoughts
It’s not a Prevost but I like it.😊
Great video and a beautiful car. You left us hanging with what happened on the rural road and 19% battery?
I'm surprised you didn't comment on the phenomenal headlights. They really light up the road.
I am seriously thinking about getting a new M3P, but the MYP keeps entering my mind.
Most likely Tesla navigation rerouted his car because of heavy congestion further up the road. Because of FSD the car just automatically made the change instead of making a suggestion like Waze.
14:31: same. That about summarizes it for me too. Now an unabashed Tesla snob. Tesla has completely ruined all other cars for me, and I couldn’t be happier.
Agree. So simple, so easy, so fun! Lol
I’d like to buy a Tesla for local driving, driving long distances I’ll stick with my F150. I can drive Indiana to south Florida with 2 fuel stops and Bluecruise drives itself on the expressway and I never search for a place for fuel, have fun.
Can’t beat the F150 for those long trips for sure. Kids love it to, so much room in the back.
Yeah but how much gas you're gonna spend on f150 compared to charging at superchargers, no thanks I'll stick with tesla , even for roadtrips
@@tonyn3227For some people the cost of gas is not a worry.
Definitely buy it. Best thing I have ever bought. Not just car, but item in general. Once you get into it you will realize how good it is and probably prefer to take it road tripping as well. Everybody “hates” it for roadtripping, until they try it, and then it turned into my favorite way to road trip. Hard to explain until you try it. There is no planning: just tell the car where you want to go and it does all of the planning for you, in about 15 seconds. No one road trips and only goes to the bathroom when they need fuel, every 500 miles. Human bladders don’t work that way. It’s not a flaw, it’s a feature to stop every few hundred miles, get out, stretch, have a walk about, play with the kids and have a mini-adventure, whatever. Get a snack. The charge time is just enough to be useful and often too short. Like I said, have to try it. If you have pre-determined that you’re going to hate it, then you will. It’s quite good though.
Tesla FSD Beta drive everywhere. I use it daily, sometimes for Uber driving, and it works everywhere. Most drives are with zero interventions, and the more time goes by the better it gets, for free, automatically. Blue cruise doesn’t have the same improvement cycle, and can’t handle construction zones, sharp corners, inclement weather, city streets, etcetera. FSD Beta works on dirt roads, slows for speed bumps, and reroutes to save time with real-time traffic updates. I actually learn things from FSD Beta.
How much was this with all the discounts in FL? My mom lives in FL as well. Thanks
I think it was 52,250. You can put the zip code in where the car will be registered. If you register in Fl, it will also need to be insured in Florida.
@@Hunleygarage thank you!
Awesome car, Do you know what company sells the rear mudflaps?
I got them from a company called Abstract Ocean. The premium ones - guess they are 65 for all 4 now.
Are you going to get your windows tented too😂😂😂😂
I really want too. Maybe late spring, summer.
If I own a house, I wouldn’t sell the truck to buy a Tesla! It’s just not practical. But you do you
I hear yeah. I don’t need to sell the truck but I’m not using it now. Thinking of parking it at my brothers summer house, but not sure when I’d use it. Then it just sits there. That’s the only reason I’m considering to sell it. Love the truck…. I got a hitch on the car and have a 6x12 yard trailer to move things if needed. The big issue is we usually pack up the truck 2-3 times a year and do a week or so long vacation. Not sure I could do that in the MYP - probably just rent a van 2-3 times a year instead. I have 180k on the truck - probably 95% was with just me. Still don’t want to sell it lol
I dont get why buy in florida and not in Indiana, you can pick up this car anywhere, ws it cheaper.
At the time, I picked it up for about a $5k discount.
Cheaper the insnitives and u only get them the state u live that's why he use his mom and will refinance under his name
What did it cost you to charge for the trip?
I think it was $114. Here is some math.
If you figure 300 watts a mile (I can get 250 in town and 325 highway) and $.11 a kw at home and $.33 a kw at super chargers.
At home it costs $.03 per mile in electricity.
At a super charger it costs $.10 per mile in electricity.
If you figure fuel is $3.5 a gallon,
charging at home you would need a car to get 117 mpg to cost the same.
Charging at a super chargers you would need a car to get 35 mpg to cost the same.
If you slow down, it takes less watts per mile. If you charge at home it costs less per kw. So lots of variables.
The electric F150 takes 500 watts to go a mile. So it costs $.06 and $.17 a mile in power. So 58mpg at home and 20mpg at supercharger.
The hummer takes 623 watts per mile - so $.07 and $.21 a mile or 50 mpg and 17 mpg.
If you full charge at home before leaving on a trip and return home around 10-15% - you maximize the total cost of power.
Lot of factors to consider. Weird to think you can fuel your vehicle at home 3 times cheaper than at a public charger.
@@Hunleygarage Thank you! That makes sense, i recently took delivery of my Model Y LR and was wondering what the cost of roadtrip might be versus driving in a gas powered car.
Are you sure you’re supposed to be using an extension cord? Don’t sound safe.
Haha - it’s a 6g 50amp, 240v 3 wire with ground $300 extension cord lol. It’s fine.
Wow, is that not called illegal? Imagine doing this in CO. It's called illegal. BTW if you don't ask questions the Tesla CS are worthless.
What’s illegal?
Gotta love Tesla.. no mats, no paint protectors in known debris spots, no charger and they throw you the keys and say good luck. Maybe if they showed you the functions of the screen for 20 minutes you wouldn’t have to FIGURE things out while driving. So unprofessional.
I actually prefer it. I do think not including the charger sucks, and at least the rear door bottom adhesive - they claim most buyers don’t use them - not sure what they are using.
The guy at the pick up offered as much help as I wanted - but said I was free to leave. They don’t even give you keys - you arrive with everything needed. They also provide assistance over the phone prior to arrival if you want it and have videos of everything if you prefer to watch. They have a completed registration in the glove box and actual license plate on the car. No transaction at the license branch needed.
This shows just how much the other auto dealerships suck as much money from you as possible and make it extremely difficult and is completely unnecessary.
Model S and X buyers are treated better during the delivery process.
You know everything you’re not getting before you buy it. So it’s not a surprise. I got my 2023 model S Plaid a month ago and I love how quick and it was. I didn’t have to waste 5 hours at the dealership and the waste another hour for the finance manager, trying to sell me a worthless extended warranty. I’ll take this way over the other way 100 times.
You never owned or known someone who has a Tesla or you would not taken your time to comment lol Before you even take delivery as you wait for your Tesla they have tutorials in the app for new\existing owners or you have a choice of asking the advisor to show you during pick up. But most people are happy to tinker on their own while parked in garage , sitting on the side of a road or driving, it’s up to the owner lol you’re just unhappy with yourself it’s okay, then again it’s @noneofyourbusiness2554
I have bought cars in many different ways over the years. By far the best experience have ever had is through Tesla. I actually wanted to buy the car, so I did my due diligence ahead of time, and everything was fine.
ICE cars don’t come with gas pumping accessories: no gloves, no pump nozzle, no hazmat suit. I didn’t thing it was unreasonable to buy a couple of Tesla-specific extension cords. I made up for that cost in gas savings in a few months anyhow, now in the black with that.
Teslas are garbage......unreliable, ugly, dont work in the winter etc. Should i get the midnight gray or pay the 2k extra for red
I love the red
Is this a serious comment?
Are you old enough to drive? I don’t think so…
@@clu4u I ended up getting the black one
