If you are going to order a Tesla, order through my referral link so we both get redeemable points toward free supercharging or even full self driving: Tesla Referral Link: ts.la/ben56263

Power usage due to air drag is proportional to speed squared, so going 80 instead of65 mph uses about 50% more power. True for gas cars too.

I sold my Tesla S and bought a TeslaY lr with of course white seats and am very happy with the car. Norway

The roof rack, 20 inch wheels and the highway speeds over 80mph trash your range. You could have chosen to remove your roof rack, put on those 19’s and kept your speed to a more leisurely 70 mph or less. You would.d have easily made the round trip without the need for supercharging. Also we plan stops with destination chargers installed. Make life easy.

What a spectacularly beautiful clear video with great sound!!!!!! Thank you for this road trip in your area. You know I will be in your area for a long road trip in another two weeks.

I just did a 233 mile same day out and back in my dual motor Model Y Long Range. I got 245 Wh/mile (with headwinds and crosswinds going, and no winds coming back because the wind had died off, air conditioner on a nice cool 71F, 19 inch wheels) and that implies a range of 306 miles. I couldn't be more pleased

As mentioned with roof rack and wheels having a 20inch diameter being a contributing factor, the Aero Dynamics of the wheel plays a bigger role than most people think. Looks like you have aftermarket rims, with the wheels spinning full time, it is creating drag and a lot of it. I have the 19inch Geminis with aftermarket Aero Hub kit, proving to provide more efficiency than even the Stock Aero Kit. By estimates, another 15mile range over the course of 300miles on avg. Again, this is just adding proper Aero Hub Covers.

Absolutely loved the video!! Your both fabulously funny and keep all of our attention with your good naturedness! Thanks for sharing….

loved the video - it was great to see Arizona and the places to visit. keep them road trips going :)

You always crack me up at least once per video! A stand-up (or is that sit-down) comedian in a Tesla.

I'm going to buy a model Y this fall. Got to say, I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!

When the wife is right, she’s right……Correct Jamie @ 6:18 we rather see you! 😂

Love your humor man. Dry as the desert. Love it

Nice to see the family in your videos.

Gjeebs love this vid and loved having Arizona as a featured guest. Can we have more exploring AZ in a Tesla content? Seeing the beautiful landscape and cool towns was dope! 🌄

Hahahahah that coffee blowout statement so true...... I'm so scared to even smell coffee if I have to go on a long road trip! 😅

Dude, you are one of the funniest KZfaqrs I watch. Your subtle humor is MUCH appreciated. Haha

Been to Jerome, AZ many times, it’s just down the road from me here in Flagstaff, and the road is STEEP! My Lexus SUV only gets 416 mi. range on a full tank, but only gets about 1/2 that, when we drive to Jerome. Buying a Model Y today, selling the o’l Lexus. Looking forward to all-EV!

I really like your channel, despite not liking Teslas at all. I have an electric car and have had one since 2020. You are so funny and entertaining and the family rocks it with you. Thank you. BTW I also love Jerome. It is not as well known as Sedona. Thank goodness! But that elevation jump from the Valley to Jerome or Flagstaff is brutal on an EV. Non Teslas have it worse with even less charging options going up the 17. Keep up the great and super witty work.

Yup that's what I had noticed on my Model 3 LR as well. If you drive uphill, the battery will deplete in a couple of hours or less.

Hey Gjeebs, I love it when you do your road trips. Question, I'm from the Pittsburgh area (Go Steelers), Do you have problems finding superchargers as you near the home town? Once I leave Breezewood, I don't see a lot of superchargers as I head to my hometown.

She’s right you know. We all want to see more Jamie!❤

Your family is so cool, cheers 🥂

Smoke’m while you gott’em. Enjoy the burgers & fried food while u can! Completed a 2K mile road trip a few weeks ago in our 22 M3. Car worked as designed. As an old engineer I always pad the car’s computed read out with a safety factor. Surplus charge is like money: It’s Always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

That chair is my number one recommendation for new parents, life changing

Congrats on the young one, Gjeebs!!

Which baby seat mirror are you using? Struggling to find one for my model 3

316 miles is EPA rated for 65 mph highway driving, so driving at 82 mph you'll be using 26% more energy and at 85 mph, 31% more. Checks out with your real world range: adjusting for 82 mph driving, expected range is 199 miles so 94%->3% is 91% of 199 miles = 181 miles. The tyres and roof rack probably account for the bulk of remaining losses as you mentioned. Great video, fun family trip and real world charging explanation.

3 people. The baby is light but baby gears :) A/C, hills, hot tire psi, any customizations drawing more power, sentry/dash-cam(?), etc. Many reasons to explain factors for shorter range

Gjeebs/ great info, we are in Glendale Az for the week and wanted to explore somewhere new. We are taking the green canyon train ride tomorrow with Jerome and cottonwood too-. Any good hiking trails in the area? We rented a 2022 model 3 performance for the week

Interstate highway signs need to indicate exits where superchargers are located. Similar to the signs that Shia lodging, fuel, food etc.

Tip of the year for Gjeebs...wait for it...here it comes...When you want to collapse (or expand) the turns on the navigation, you don't have to swipe up (I used to do that all the time) you just tap the top of the guidance...in your case the tap the 18 miles N Fain Road....instead of "Up, Up at 6:00"

BTW, I noticed you were using a variant of the claw and thumb method to work your screen. You mentioned this in an earlier video, and I’ve been using it ever since. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi! I watched your video, and at 2:17, I noticed a Black disk w/cord and red lettering that looked like IE. What accessory is this?

How's the comfort and noise on long road trips?

I am someone that has decided to go on a renting challenge through HERTZ. I am a gold member and the manager at my local Hertz told me that he could basically get any variant of model three or model Y that I needed. So after six months, I’ve rented a standard range Tesla model 3, Standard Range Tesla model, Y, Long Range, Tesla model 3 Long Range, Tesla model Y Long Range. I have to say the model 3 Long Range Dual Motor 2022 model was by far my most favorite Tesla. The sheer power of the vehicle combined with 358 miles of range, reduced my range, anxiety by a metric ton. There is absolutely nothing I do not like about this model of Tesla in this configuration. The Tesla model Y long range would be my second pic. The model Y long range had less range than the model three long range. Model Y was also heavier so 0 to 60 times were slightly less. I was able to rent these Tesla’s for anywhere from $38 a day to $52 a day. Considering the amount of gas you do not have to buy it makes it well worth it to rent a Tesla and for that matter buy a Tesla!

One thing people don't realize is that the stated range for EV's are if they are charged to 100%. The recommended charging percentage to preserve maximum battery health is between 40% to 80%. So realistically if you were planning on taking a long trip you are able to charge to 100% at home before you start your trip. Once out on the road you are pretty much stuck to only charging up to 80% anyways because if etiquette or don't want to sit for the last 20% of which the charging slows down. So take into consideration if you buy an EV that the real range is more realistically 20% less than what they state. And in cold climates it will be less also.

Another great video. Got a used model 3 last year. How long is the train ride? Going to NM this summer from Los Angeles....would love to taek the kdis!

Thank you for the link and info. can you share your add-on device like head-up display on how you connect it.

turn signal auto cancel is still not perfect in town and will turn off once getting into a turn lane if you like to signal early. Ideal: I'd like it to be if you tap signal: it's auto cancel and if you full engage (click): its standard signal and does not turn off until turn is complete.

LOL! I’m a Virginian… we do ride the left lane a lot because our interstates are always so heavily-traveled. I-81 has some of the heaviest truck traffic in the country and I-95 is the most traveled in general.

Any car gets terrible range at 80 mph. Drive 70 and it dramatically improves!

A couple things: I have that same blue into the AM short. And Jamie is looking fine

Great video, Thanks!

From Walnut Creek Ca to San diego ~ 500 miles. Took the 5 all the way. Had to stop 4 times to recharge. ~15 min each each charge. 2022 Model Y LR

"might make me blow out"!!! hahah had me bent over! lol

For sure speeds over 75 will kill your range. Just put it on ap and enjoy the ride.

Train ride views were AWESOME !

Train is also electric. Cool. I went from Heilbronn to Frankfurt in my Rented Model Y dual motor. Total distance was 149KM or about 90 miles. Charge went from 96-38 percent. Under 40 percent you are looking for a charger for sure. Cost will be around 40-50 bucks to charge it back up if you can find a charger. Not the same as in the states. Parking space is a hot commodity and any space has a car in it. Electric or not! Found a Edeka store with 10 stations to charge. Problem there is when the store closes, they put the gates down so you can not get in to charge or you will be trapped in if charging when they close. There is a Tesla dealer in town and they have the exact Tesla Y with a posted range of 433km? That has to be a in the city range. Like I said, we went 90 miles on a 96 percent charge and anyone in their right mind with 38 percent showing will start looking for a charge station. Ridiculous to say the least. These EV;s are nowhere near useful except in town for commuting. A 75k commuter car. Wow!! Love the power!!

whats the little red thing behind your steering wheel..?

I live for road trip season on this channel! Oh hey there Jamie girl!!!!

Just found your channel.. You guys are cute and hilarious. Subbed! Helps that I love Arizona (as someone living in the Midwest/Indiana!)

Jamie; “ I’m not paid enough “ !! 😂😂

what's that thing behind your steering wheel?

Thank you for reminding me why I didn’t order the white. There are too many bugs in Pa.

Keep them coming

Great video 💪❤

Nice! Need to check out Jerome. Love how AZ has so many cool places.

We just got a model y in our family. Have to charge the thing every other day seemingly. Not driving anywhere close to 300 miles. Ive seen a 6 mile round trip eat up 4% of the battery. Ideal california conditions and chill mode acceleration. Very cool car. The every other day charging and awful UI are really my only complaints. I do hope it will last a while, we still have our 03 excursion v10 that handles all our towing needs 08 mustang 4.6 is what use for daily. I wonder if the model Y will still be working in 2039

Was happy to see your emotional side there for a while. I also choke up when I talk about my daughters or even telling them I love you when looking at their eyes. You gained a subscriber!

Gjeebs, sport mode does *not* alter the ratio of the steering rack. (just the weighting)

Really fun video, thanks for sharing. Loved the Willy Wonka re-creation 🤙

You used about 54 kWh and 91% of your battery. If I am doing the math right your battery is showing 59-60 kWh usable when full? That can't be right since your battery new should be about 78-79 kWh usable. That's huge degradation.. interested to see a battery test. Thoughts on this?

Just add a stop to your destination for the supercharger in Cordes Lakes after you leave Jerome Then you will know what your battery life will be when you get there.

Currently In Colorado typing this. Drove our 2022 model Y long range 20 inch wheels from Tampa Florida to Denver Colorado. Roughly 1900 miles each way. We custom ordered this vehicle. Also got the fsd subscription for this trip and I think it’s pretty useless. The regular cruise control is more then good enough and for future road trips I probably won’t be subscribing as it’s not needed. I have my settings set to sport and aggressive acceleration. I’ll charge 5-10 percent over if I plan on being under 80 mph or less on the freeway. During our sprint through Kansas it was dead and empty and I had active cruise set to 85mph as that’s the max and charged 10 percent over recommended amount at the very least. When I say recommended amount I mean when you get the notification that says you have enough battery to get to the next destination I’ll go 10 percent over whatever percentage where at. By doing this I arrive with usually 10-20 percent. I think lowest was 9 percent. My vehicle is blacked out. Black rims, black paint, side windows are 25 percent tint, front windshield is 30 percent tint I have a roof cover that keeps sunlight from beaming through the glass roof. I put this cover up during road trips and whenever summer hits in Florida. Summers in Florida gets HOT. Doing a lot of mountain driving in Colorado and iv been charging as much as I can. Unfortunately my wife’s family doesn’t have a fast charger so iv been using the super charger here to charge up to 80 percent and then charging over night with the 12 volt charger (usually get 60 miles overnight only) so I’m never able to get a full battery. That being said. Cara been great. Love it don’t regret bringing this over a gas car. Requires a bit more planning for example tomorrow we are doing 150 miles through some mountain so I charged up to 270 miles at the super charger and now will let the remaining amount charge over night so in the morning I have a full battery to work with. This is new territory so I’m playing it safe and over charging imo. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it. Took our Mercedes’ suv to Michigan from Tampa and that ran me 600 dollars in gas one way? That was a few years back so don’t quote me but it was some stupid number. But the reason I’m saying this is because from Florida to Colorado which is a thousand miles more then florida to Detroit. It only cost me 200 bucks. 😆. Love how cheap and relaxing this trip was. Sorry for the long message!

The same things that affect the range in an EV also affect the mileage on a ICE car, and vice-versa. However, when you need to refill an ICE car, it takes 5/10 minutes, you can fill it completely and have another full tank of range. EVs, according to the recommendations, you should let it go to 10-20% and charge it to 80%, which gives you less range than the maximum.

Um you are hilarious. Thanks for the review!!

the epa wltp range is not advertisement, thats a standard of which the manufacturer has no say over, it is there to compare. just with the range in traditional vehicles, this range is not achieved normally.

You should get a model S man. Its very very effecient compared to my Model 3 performance.

Why is the seat so far forward?

Best video in a long time

Elevation is a massive drag which u don’t make up going down , on flat roads the range is very accurate

Can’t believe a dude just looked over to see you doing a blowout. Happy to see the train blowout area as well. Very detailed. 😂😂

Yes! Finally a youtuber who doesn't say "left lane is the fast lane". It's exactly as you said it. "left lane is the passing lane". Doesn't matter if you are cruising at 100mph. If you are done passing, you move over to the right.

Mpg ratings are out of date and so thus as are EV ratings since they calculate off of mpg. Mpg ratings are based off of 55 miles per hour of which was the average speed limit decades ago. Now the average speed limits are between 65-70. So in reality 55 no longer applies as you are not able to drive that much slower than the speed limit without getting ticketed or causing road rage. Highway mpg ratings need to be adjusted using 65 mph.

It's the lactose dude! There straight black coffee at McDonald's is the deal.. ;)

Great video, always entertaining as usual. I will say, however, that the audio quality of this particular video was not unlike Tesla’s build quality. Having said that, love the channel, keep up the great work!

lol. Of course it's bad range. The technology along with the affordability isn't anywhere near a decent gas milage automobile. Let's use the Tesla model 3 LR which is there cheapest long range go getter. This car costs brand new with basically no options about 49,000 dollars. In Arizona out the door price would be about 53,000. Let's compare that to a nissan versa sr. Yes, a nissan versa sr is not the car a Tesla 3 is with all the bells and whistles but this video and conversation is about range, as pretty much the vast majority of them are on youtube. A fully loaded versa sr which is no slouch when it comes to bells and whistles in and of itself goes for about 23,000. Out the door pricing in Arizona would put it at about 25,000. That's a difference of 28,000 dollars. How much gas can you purchase for 28,000 dollars?! Better yet, what can somebody do with an extra 28,000 thousand dollars?! But I digress, driving 15,000 miles in a year NOT using a supercharger would cost about 450 in electricity for the model 3 LR. It would cost about 1,950 to fuel up the versa at 5.00 a gallon. That's a difference of 1,500 dollars. 1,500 X 10 years is 15,000. So in 10 years when both cars have 150,000 miles on them somebody driving an ICE would still have almost 10 years to go before they were at the break even price of the Tesla. But this isn't exactly true, in reality, the insurance and the registration on a Tesla will be much more expensive then the versa for the life of the car year in and year out. This cost will be about half the amount, thousands of dollars. Financing the car? It will be about half the amount again (thousands of dollars). But what about the dreaded maintenance cost of an ICE? It's expected that a versa owner will spend about 5,500 dollars in 10 years on maintenance. The model 3? About 3,500. So that's a 2,000 dollar difference over 10 years. Then there's this, if you were to put 28,000 in a simple interest bearing account and only got back 3% after 10 years you would have about 9,500 dollars. In 20 years? 22,500, that's compound interest at work and it's almost the entire price of the nissan versa you paid for 20 years ago. Let's discuss range, the versa's fuel capacity is 11 gallons, fill up the tank and you can hop right in the car without putting some stupid aero caps on or worrying about the roof racks and drive at a constant speed with serious elevation gains and 20 mph winds at 70 mph for about 375 miles. Light wind and mild elevation gains? About 425 miles. About to run out of fuel? You don't need to plan were your next charging station is just jump off at the next exit, fill up in about 15 minutes, stretch your legs, get something to drink in the store if you wish and you are right back on your way. Try that with a Tesla. From 0-100% at a supercharger takes over an hour and it ain't free. It'll cost you 20-25 bucks to add just 250 miles of range of course for the 3 LR it will be even more than that. So now on your trips across the U.S. that don't take you back home like here, the price to charge your tesla just went up dramatically. You just added to the cost of ownership. And let's not forget that using a supercharger in the first place is hard on your battery and is not recommend with any frequency. Then there's battery degradation which needs to be factored in. When these cars or any electric cars come close to mimicking what something very affordable and much smarter to own such as the versa then we will have something.

Lately, Georgians driving in Florida are back-asswards about the left lane as well.

AC at full blast and high speed driving around 70 to 80 gonna reduce your range by like 50 or 70 miles.. I got a model 3 long range.. and with a speed of 60mph and AC either off or at 1 speed I can get 351 mile range out of the 358 I’m sure it could do more then 358 if I don’t use Santry mode.. I have on in public places..

Hi love the channel what is that device behind the steering wheel with a red M on it ?

I get the range issue, I have a 3 & a Y, I find in the summer with AC and my led foot I get less mileage. Testing this at 60 MPH I get very close to advertised. In winter it is worse as we should not drive without heat. But I love Tesla so much that this is not an issue for me as I leave home fully charged every morning with no worries at all. I have never seen a gas station in years and don't know what gas costs today. Road trips will require planning, but this will improve over time as the EV way of life matures.

i love my model y too.... and I have a BRONCO too. Not the actual scale but the 1/24th crawler from Axial....LOL

I own a Model 3 and what most people don't take into consideration is how your car has to turn on when it's left out in the heat for long periods with takes energy from the car. Great video and beautiful family.

Terrible range in both gas and electric cars can be caused by driving over 75 and having larger tires mostly an electric car a larger tires makes things a lot worse larger tires use more energy and they are also less comfortable, in a Tesla or really any electric car for that matter you get the smaller wheel option and you drive around 75 normally and it will be excellent.

The rest stop stalls are that low because it deters gents from going inside and doing butt stuff with each other. Glory holes and stuff like that are common at isolated stops like that

Love the road trip videos 👍

We have been to Gerome as well.

That train was scary af!

Highway driving in Virginia is a nightmare, left lane squatters are the standard, not the exception.

Rated Range is defined using specific conditions. I believe 74 mph, flat, no wind, certainly no luggage carrier on the rooftop, are some of the conditions.

Just get Toyota RAV 4 Prime or Toyota Crown Hybrid Max and call it a day.

I just drove 3200 miles in my Y. Stopping so often sucks. The price of supercharging should be lowered. Next time, I'll move my ICE car.

Spanish. Italian. Starbucks. Same thing 😂😂😂😂

I thought it is 300+ range, false advertisement. Tesla owners should collectivelly sue Tesla and Elon. I never get close to 200 miles range on my MYP.

i ordered my Model Y last week they say it will be in Hawaii in June but not counting on it

Is it something wrong with her left eye?

She is right that is what we want to see. :) Nice video.

You know you can recharge it right?

Love Jerome, my wife and I have been there a few times in our Model 3. Say Hi if you see me on the road. License plate “WATTGA5”. I must try the train ride. Thanks for all the accessories
