A kind thing to do, Kyle. I can't image that most of us who own EV's are even remotely impacted financially by giving someone $10 worth of electricity. But it certainly was a positive impact for the woman driving the Leaf. So, way to go. A little kindness goes a long way, and one never knows when "the shoe might be on the other foot."

The more I watch your videos on range, the less range anxiety I have. Thanks for the vids.

Really great you were able to be there and help that lady out at the end, never know what other people are dealing with 🙏

Awesome of you to help that poor lady out at the end Kyle. Good things come to good people.

Good timing on being there to help her out! I had a similar experience on my first Tesla road trip a couple months ago- I was at the Grove City PA SC at around midnight, and saw a white Model Y circling around the stores adjacent. I went in to use the rest room and only needed about 5 min of charge to get to my destination. When I came back out, the Y was parked next to me, and there was an older lady standing by my car and she asked if it was mine- I figured she had backed into my car or something- but it turned out her and her husband had been stranded there for about 4 hours. They were driving from Toronto, Canada to Miami, FL to help out her daughter with the delivery of the new-to-them Model Y- unfortunately it had been under free supercharging so they assumed it always charged for free- they had one free stop after they entered the US, but when they got to Grove City it was back to paid charging. However they couldn't figure out how to activate the SC charging. Thankfully they had dealer paperwork and temporary tags that I was able to help them set up a new Tesla account and get into the automated account switching system and Tesla's systems approved the car for their account and they were then able to charge- but they were in a really tough spot. It was a cold night, they had about 3% left, and all the hotels were now out of their range. I was glad to be able to get them up and running- I'm glad to not have to deal with the card dip/swipe/scan of CCS/Chademo chargers, but in that moment, not being able to add a CC to the Tesla car system itself was a huge issue. I left at around 2:30am by the time I got them charging.

You are seriously one of the kindest people I've seen! I'm glad you were able to help that woman and how friendly you are with people you meet at chargers.

I started to watch your video during the start of COVID and I really love the way you always willing to share information about tesla during your road-trips or range test trips. I have a 2020 model 3 and I wish I had waited a year for the bigger battery😩It’s indeed a huge upgrade.

Those headlights seem like a massive improvement, I’m very jealous lol.

I really wish telsa would go back to making rwd long range versions of their cars. Some of us would gladly take that extra efficiency & big boost in range and give up that .5 seconds or so of 0-60 speed.

I have 110,000 miles on my 2018 Long Range RWD and my 70mph power usage is around 250-260 WH/mile at 70 degrees outside, around 240-250 miles in total highway range. i estimate i have around 68KwH of usable capacity left (down from 75). still very usable range for my needs

I have a 2023 Model 3 Performance that I bought back in Feb 2023 and I just love the car so much and I love watching all the videos on it lol

Kyle, you're a champ for helping the lady out. I had a similar experience a few years ago turning up to a motorway services one evening. In those days there was only one charger. A lady was already parked in a LEAF but on the phone, obviously in distress and desperately trying to get help. Long story short, I tapped my RFID card to start her charge. Then she offered to buy me coffee in the services and talked about how she was on her way to visit family and the LEAF was a loaner car for a few days from the dealer to see how she liked it. They hadn't given her any advice about how to charge on the road or the RFID cards she'd need. She was thinking of calling for a flatbed. When we finished chatting she was back up to 90% and grateful but I really don't think it was the introduction to EVs she expected, and there's so much more help she could have been given by the dealer to educate and prepare her for charging on longer journeys. These days thankfully most places accept contactless bank cards, but still after a few failed chargers it's easy to max out on pre-authorization fees and the card gets refused. I've had that happen to me and it's only because I had my phone with my card registered in Google Pay that I could start the charge using effectively a different card number. Also we now have some 24 hour helplines and they can usually start a charge remotely. However, these assume you can talk and listen, so for deaf and/or dumb EV drivers they still don't have a way to call for help unless they find another human.

I love these reviews and you Range test are 100% on point. Keep up the great work. It would be great if you had a location to save all your results so that we could quickly look at them without going through all the videos.

I’m glad you helped that lady, and I imagine that’s the right thing to do if you have to sit there with them and charge… but I run into this CONSTANTLY at gas stations. People beg. I hope that doesn’t come to EVs too.

34:52 Great that you helped this EV user! EVs could be confusing for new drivers, we really need to help each other like you did if we want everyone being moving forward with electrification! We are all in this together! 🔌⚡🚘

What happened with that lady reminds me of the videos and stories on reddit and elsewhere where the charger or app mess up and won't accept your card, etc. Your dad had problems with chargers down in Florida IIRC. You're a good man.

I have been following you for a long time and sub'd... but not sure how you only have 75k subs. Great content and so knowledgable. Excited for you to hit 100k

Good on you for helping that LEAF owner, Kyle. It's a sad reminder of challenges faced by many EV owners with a complicated and insufficient charging infrastructure in some regions. Hopefully Tesla will open its network to other brands soon, and adaptors are available for EV owners that really need additional reliable stations to travel safely.

Thank you for helping that lady at the charge station. You are a hero today!

Good for you! You were a hero for her. Commendable! ....subscribed!

Feature rich in commentary, loved it. Thanks.

Glad you were there for the Leaf owner! Great video in general.

Thank you for helping that LEAF owner. I feel bad for her, because it's not the car, but the unreliability of so many CCS/CHAdeMO stations and providers. Hopefully this will improve over the next few years.

Great test... Wow those headlights are amazing. A little concerning about the lane departure not working.. and the AP / Cruise quitting. But looks like an amazing improvement in the car. Love the content... Keep up the great work.

You are a kind person helping others. The way I think about is what if that were me that was desperate for help. Be good to each other out there!

would be interesting to see how the range for the 2022 Model 3 Performance does on 18" rims!

Way to be a good Samaritan.

I love how the display shows the surrounding cars.

My model S has the energy graph in the tool box with the latest software update. I set it to be one of the 4 icons at the bottom. It used to be in the settings

Excellent video!

Glad you did it so I didn’t have to do it in my own.. thanks from fellow Tesla owners

Would love to see a 2022 RWD tested, it’s the one I ordered and I’m really interested on the real world range, from what I’ve seen though, it’s insanely efficient.

I'm glad to see there are good people in the world!

Great video! That color is fire

Love your reviews !

the wrap on that M3 is awesome!

Man, this video was a quick turnaround. GG! Btw, I love the wrap on that. I wonder where he got his wrap from...

We gon ignore the charging station named Kum & Go

I noticed a HUGE difference between my 2020 M3P and my 22 MYP. DEF some build quality improvements

Fabulous colour

Subbed because A.) I’m seriously considering this exact vehicle in red multi-coat, and 2.) content is good stuff!

Nice information. Easy to jump to the conclusion. Next test, what is the 80 mph consumption?

Wrap color is definitely awesome!

I am interested in the Lucid Air Pure version. Hopefully later this year you can get get one to test the range.

1:11 Porsche Cayman owner doing it right. Love to see that. The double pane glass started with the '21 I believe - I have that in my M3P - I do like those new door cards which I didn't get in my early 2021 model (purchased last April).

I feel the lady is just one of many new ev owners that are going to go through this. Huge Kudos to you Kyle as that move speaks volumes about the Tesla community and our willingness to help other new ev owners, even if it’s not a Tesla.

I’d be happy to let my December 2019 build SR+ be in a comparison to a brand new SR+ for you to compare the LFP tech to the older style.

My Y had the same problem with the 2022.12. Update. Had to reset a few times for it to be fixed. The latest update fixed it

Great video man! The lady in the Leaf is an example of the masses getting into EVs. Sign of the times.. some people have no clue what they are getting into and shouldnt own an EV.

Great video! Any opportunity for range test with a MYP pls?? In particular how much impact on the range w huge 21” wheels 🤨

Awesome content. Curious why you don’t pick a stretch with Tesla superchargers?

Great test other than the AP glitch. Did Nissan provide an EVSE with the leaf❓Could lend piece of mind when cash flow is interrupted or slow; which ever the case was. Thanks for the video and helping hand. 👍🏼

Yess I have the LR rwd 2019 m3, it’s so efficient!

Thanks for helping her 🙏

That color 🔥

Could you do this same test but plug your destination in as a SuperCharger for the entire trip. I would love to see how much power you lose if the car preconditions while you are driving. I have seen "Preconditioning" pull as much as 11KW while I am in park in my 2022 Model 3 Performance.

I'm planning on doing a long USA tour with my new 22 Model S Plaid. I'd like to see that test. Also did you ever test the Tesla cars in Chill Mode instead of the standard or performance modes? My Plaid seems to get better mileage stretch in Chill but I'm not sure.

id find a new standard range model 3 so interesting to see how far it can do. pls do oneeee

I never knew this charging station was in Wellington! My cousin lives there and we always took my truck that didn't need to refill there and back. I just bought an Ioniq5 so now I know I can drive it there and charge it.

Super curious what the 22 long range does. Hopefully one of your viewers has one! My M3LR is a 2019 so not the bigger pack sadly

I wonder if my 2018 has some buffer. I rolled into a charger with "1 mile" left and I was surprised how much power it was still giving me

I appreciate these range tests that give more realistic numbers than EPA. Having moved from California to Colorado myself I’ve noticed 15% better fuel economy from my ICE vehicles likely from the decreased air resistance, improved volumetric efficiency and decreased power output at altitude. I would think EV vehicles would benefit to some degree from the decreased air resistance. Have you noticed improved EV range at this altitude compared to sea level?

I feel bad for that woman you met there. I’m glad you were able to help her out. It’s gotta be super stressful.

I just got a 2020 Model 3 in Europe and it comes with a CCS connector on the car, much easier than the Tesla-specific connector in the US! Maybe you can buy the part that sits behind the charge port cover separately and retrofit on your car...

Kyle, do a LFP Model 3 similar range test. I have the 2022 RWD M3 but in Toronto . Lol. If i was close by definitely would have loaned you for the test.

Waiting on 2022 model Y LR performance testing

Hello, TY for the content. What was the weather conditions like temperature wise and was it a flat road? I found on my M3P that topography and temperature has a big difference. I also noticed that going 75 mph from 70 mph makes a big difference. One final thing I noticed is that driving with one other person in the car, reduces the range quite a bit.

20:31 My 21' Model 3 SR+ had the same issue with Autopilot . it happened when I tried to engage too fast. i.e. it didn't detect the lanes fast enough and I pressed the stalk down to many times. i have to pull over, park get out shut door and then opened door got back in and worked fine afterwards. lmao 22:00 AP is working now. 22:40 High BEams are now required for AP siince they switched to Vision Cars(Cars without Radar- May 21' and newer)

I would love to see the Model 3 RWD LFP battery pack one. Range, charging curve etc.

Love to see the Hummer EV range on this loop. That thing is a brick on wheels! Lol

Great video, the EPA estimate is prob inflated on most vehicles, this reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer and the car dealer rep drive the car until the last drop of gas haha. Really thinking of a M3 performance as a car and goal.

So how did you get the autopilot to work again

I drove my 2018 LR RWD about 5+ miles BELOW 0% SOC in 20-degree weather a few years ago trying to stretch to the next Supercharger in NH. Not recommended or fun, turned off all heat and audio, crawling in to charge as my car constantly told me to stop...so yeah been there done that. haha That was also my single longest stretch, 246ish miles, at obviously not ideal temps well below zero.

Nice DOUGSTRETCH on the intro and thumbnail.

Love your generosity Kyle. the whole video is worth watching to see to the end where you helped another human being! #bekind

280 miles is wild! I have a 2019 TM3LR and I feel like I'm at 5%-10% after 200 miles. Not sure if it's my battery being terrible already or what but I can't imagine getting anywhere close to that.

I'm planning to put Martian MW03s on my M3P. I'm wanting to know the difference in distance.

Would love to see this test with the model x plaid.

Those wheels really hurt range

Thanks for the test, curious if this is a new or unique color for the M3P? I have not seen this color on their website. Thanks in advance.

Long on time... good info. though. Thanks.

Thumbs up. Just installed a 60 AMP home charger for the S, Tesla Solar powered.

We should be beyond the days of paper/PDF manuals--new EVs should come with 20-30 minutes of short videos made by passionate people like you who can just advise people on all the quirks of owning an EV. Make the transition easier for people who are leaving their gas cars behind.

Destroyer Gray i believe. Very popular right now!

Please let me know the color of the wrap. Thank you

What kind of wrap is that? Looks awesome

I remember the cameras watch you when you use autopilot to sure driver isn’t on his or her phone or sleeping. That’s why it turns it off when you are filming?

Please do model y rage test

How were you able to get autopilot to work again? Mine, ironically is doing the exact same thing rn and won’t fix itself even after hard resets and so forth..

One of your cameras could have been dirty causing the autopilot to be unavailable.

Can you do a 2021/22 Tesla MS LR with 19” aero wheels next?

When it says you have used 70kwh…doesn’t that include energy regenerated from Regen? That would he on top of what you took out of the battery.

At this point, which would you pick: model 3 awd, ionic 5 awd, ev6 awd, or ID4 awd? (Yes I’m in the market, and have driven most.)

Was this run in chill (efficiency mode) I don’t see a difference typically but it’s a variable

Beautiful car

Did this new and improved performance model 3 started as 2022 model or 2021 is the same?

Do you miss North Carolina? Traffic sucks.... This drive looks so good. You can't find highways and pleasant drives like this in NC anymore. Too many people....

How much was the rock gray wrap??

That efficiency is crazy. How is it rated for over 300 then?

If we do multiple short trips and look at the “trips” tab to see how much kwh has been used. Divide it by the percentage battery consumed since last charge to get the battery capacity. Is that a right way ? Cause I’m getting 60-65kwh using the above technique for my m3p 2600 miles (3 months old). How is it different than 100-0 trip ?
