Dave, you are truly the "Mr Rogers" of the EV Neighborhood! Thank you. Nice job!
You came to my hood, and did not tell me :p. Circuit électrique is the main charging network in ax, mainly 50 and 100kw Flo charger that are well maintained and real work horse, the CE started to deploy 180kw charger with power sharing
They have a few 350kw scattered as well
Love this episode with the longer format. It is a mix of road trip, ev and showing the kindness of people out there.
I have family in Vermont. I-91 is a beautiful road. VT features NO goofy billboards.. just picturesque scenery. 😊😊
We took our ID.4 to Quebec for XMas Markets last year and stayed at the Frontenac. It was wonderful and the hotel automatically charges all EVs. We also used the circuit electric. Canada has great EV infrastructure.
You mean Quebec has a great EV infrastructure..............ontario to Alberta is bad as they are against EV......
All I needed was to see that "Wall of Kindness". How great is that??? Love to see that. Thanks Dave!!
I’m listening Out of spec Dave while doing the same drive to Canada. He is so entertaining and I’m learning stuff too.
Dave I love your videos! You have so much fun, it's like we're riding along with you!
Another relaxing & fun road trip video. Beautiful scenery. Missed Kathy, she probably would have had you wash the grapes before eating them! A nice gift for her would be to get JuneBug detailed after this trip.
Really enjoyed going on your trip with you. Welcome to Canada.
It’s funny seeing you do my regular drive in reverse (almost). I regularly drive from Montreal to Hartford and back. Too bad we’re having a bad winter with very little snow. It’s even prettier most winters.
Quebec City is gorgeous along the Saint Lawrence River
Thanks for bringing us with you 👍
I really enjoy the roadtrip videos!
Great video and fun to follow some familiar roads with you and your Y as I am a CT neighbor (just a few towns over)! Thanks to you and Kathy for all your helpful info and as a result I've test driven and am ready in April to get a Y. When you and Kathy are checking out a car I feel like friends are helping me with my Tesla decisions~ relaxed and real ~Excited that Mohegan is my pick up spot! It will be my first. Hope you had a fun trip to Quebec!
I really enjoy your trips!
So glad you stopped at Hanover. Love that little town.
Thanks Dave. V2 vs V3 cables and wiper service tips are great to know. 58:39 You stop in Norwich VT to get washer fluid showed that community board and sharing areas is really nice (including the icicle). I'm going suggest these ideas for my church just outside of Toronto. Lotsa love to all ❤❤❤
can't wait for the next upload!
Circuit Électrique is our state electricity utility owned charging network. It’s the best network nobody has ever heard of. Massive L2 and DCFC charging network. Cheap too! Bring your CCS to NACS adapter.
And yes lots of EVs here. Cheap electricity and proper investment into EVs. Almost 20% of new car sales at EV here
Love Quebec City and Le Château Frontenac. The view of the city from the hotel is breathtaking. Hope you enjoy the Old City and get a ride on the Funicular. So many fabulous places to eat. I've only been in the summer, which is when I suggest you bring Kathy in the Model X. I found you need French more in Quebec City than you do in Montreal.
Yaayy for more road-trip vids 👏🏽
You are in my neighbourhood! Instead of St-Eulalie, you could try next time Halte 228 Porte de l’Erable with like 20 new stations. Enjoy your visit.
The old part of Quebec City is amazing. Well worth the visit. Edit: your french is way too funny lol.
Watching from Wales, UK. Don't think i have ever sat and watch a 90 minute video but really enjoyed it, thanks Dave. Loved the scenery. Maybe you could take Kathy on a trip and post a video on that. Love the interaction between you two. I do not own a Tesla yet but possibly get one next year. Sage journey, Thanks again.
I went there on a class trip in the 70's the hotel was called Chateau Frontenac!
Great video! Appreciate your your stories and explanations of electric car oriented topics. Very helpful.
welcome to Canada! 🇨🇦
This vid was deja vu as we had a ski house a few miles south of Hanover. I remember dinners and a couple of overnights at the Hannover Hotel.
For more serious skiing, we upgraded to a condo at Killington, VT. About 10 years ago, Tesla installed destination chargers and gave test rides at the base lodge. That was my introduction to EVs.
Wow! Mr out of spec Dave passed by my house in Sherbrooke! 🤣
Next time stop by and I'll put a nice picanha on the BBQ for you sir. Love your videos!
Show us the way Dave! We plan the same trip. We’ll get on at Brattleboro from New Hampshire.
Something worth noting about the Circuit électrique chargers seen at 1:18:00: they can be activated through many EV network apps, including Circuit électrique, FLO and ChargePoint.
The Circuit Électrique is absolutely the best Quebec Non-Tesla North-American CCScombo network with very reliable professional Hydro-Quebec maintained 50-100-120-180 kW Level 3 chargers that is in all regions. Teslas chargers are still rare in regional Quebec and favor larger cities. In fact all visiting Teslas in my eastern region use Circuit Électrique or other non-Tesla chargers all the time as they are absent. Best of all for 800V charging of all those Taycans-Audis- Hyundai/ Kia/ Genesis payment is through refilling app with credit card or pre-ordering a plastic RFID Cardin in just a few low signal cell isolated chargers. The internal CE map in the app is very good.
If you want to use CSS you can stop at the exit 220 on the 20 and eat at the big restaurant there while charging on your way back.. eat at the bar you will have a better view... Welcome in my home town!!!
Thanks Dave. Did not know the service mode on wipers could not be canceled while driving. Another good video.
I didn't know this either... Glad to help!
Thank you
Long, yet enjoyable journey, as I live in the Upper Valley. I know first hand of the Charging challenges in Vermont and Western New Hampshire. These become more evident in cold temps traveling to ski destinations. Love seeing the footage of Dan and Whits. Make a point to stop at King Arthur flour next time.
May I make a suggestion? For a nice leisurely drive going north I would suggest using US 5. Sure, it’s slower. However it’s got less traffic and is really scenic. 😊
Once again travel video inspires me. Having an ID.4, are you seeing more magic docs?
I had to watch it twice to make sure I heard you right. Almost sounded like you said you were happy with Electrify America lol
I may be the only snowmobiler out here who also loves EVs! And I also cross the border often as I live near Niagara falls NY and head to my cottage in Canada 4 hrs northward. So this video really hit home for me Dave! Check out my 2022 Mach Z turbo riding videos on my channel sometime!
I really got into EV's and Tesla because of Kyles enthusiasm for performance driving and speed ect. I have always been a speed freak and Kyle reminds me a lot of myself. I decided to demo drive a model 3 performance and caught the bug with the insane 0-60 quickness. So then last summer I picked up a new Tesla Model 3, did the road trip down to Mt. Kisco NY from Niagara falls to pick it up. I had seen your videos on Mt. Kisco and was able to get an inventory model for less $. I just love it so much, and am leaning toward a Model Y Performance next!
I loved the Border crossing enthusiasm, and the Canadian food and chocolate bars, reminds me of all my trips i take to our cottage. When i head north from Niagara through Toronto, this major busy area of southern Ontario is FULL of Teslas. Every car i see is a model Y pretty much. With their price of fuel in Canada it makes good sense.
Keep up the great work OOS Team. I for one really appreciate the videos and how you are educating people on EVs. I'm trying to do my part, when a guy like me who is a motorhead, sledhead performance guy, tells his buddies to try an EV, I can get a lot of pushback. But i tell them just give that pedal a launch and tell me these things are not a ton of fun! Nothing can cure the need for speed like a performance, and maybe one day PLAID! Cheers!
The V2 supercharger cables are air cooled needing a larger diameter cable verses the liquid cooled version 3 supercharger which does not nèed the large diameter to effectively cool the conductors.
Nice, you came to my city
Dave, welcome to my home state of Vermont! Next time you pass through White RiverJunction, toot your horn and I'll give you wave!
Circuit Électrique has one of the first KEMPOWER DCFC sites in North America actually. Pull-in stations and everything. Could be your next destination!
I find I have similar problems purposely setting off the nanny in GM SuperCruise on my Bolt. It is extremely good at knowing if I’m watching the road so when i am trying to set it off on purpose, it still realizes I am glancing. I have set it off for real when i take a long drink from my water bottle. I also have just covered the camera to see if it was actually working.
Be a good idea to get the June bug detailed for Kathy haha
So nice you got to visit one my favorite places in Canada. I live in white mountains of New Hampshire. Please do visit Mount Washington and drive up the AutoRoad to the top.
I have driven to the top of Mt Washington on my BMW GSA 1200. Crazy road!
The st.johnsbury stop is absolutely terrible, glad you called that out. No bathrooms of any kind, no food, and quite a ways off the highway! Have learned you need to stop ahead of it for a bathroom 1:05:03
Nice !
Dave the V2 have the silver collar at the base of the handle.
Great video! I’ve been thinking Kyle should make the trip up North to cover our charging network, looks like you beat him to it!
Electric Circuit is a little late to the game when it comes to charging speeds but they’ve been installing 180 kw and a few 350 kw stations over the last, let’s say, 2 years. It’s an extremely reliable charging network, I’ve rarely had issues with their stations. Almost on par with Tesla Superchargers, seriously.
I can't wait to use autopilot and FSD on a trip. That Vin can't come soon enough!
Thankfully, our new-to-us 2023 Model X Plaid has FSD as an included package. I've tried it and it's basically pretty good but, I enjoy the auto lane-change ability of EAP. Put in a destination and the car will change lanes out on the highway with no problem.
You’re right a lot evs here, for T3 of 2023 evs were 22,8% of all cars sales in Quebec.
Cheese curds are the best. Especially when fresh and squeaky. I have a favorite cheese store in Colby, WI where I love to get them on the way through to Northern WI, and the UP of Michigan.
This Aussie loves Quebec and New England.
Fresh st-georges cheeze curds just like the one you buy is the best ever!
instead of retrofitting magic docks to adhere to government rules for funding. Tesla pulled an OG move and just changed the standard.
The parliament building in Quebec City has the most wonderful dining and foodie experience.
that’s an interesting assessment of the nag. you may be right
Please Dave switch to “dark mode” for the Tesla screen for all time. It looks so much better . The light mode just hurts my eyes ! Great video
Weird thing to complain about. Maybe you need a doctor checkup on your eyes.
@@FriedChairs it's not. Light mode looks like trash..
@@myaccount__7269it looks fine to me. I’m sitting in my Y with the screen in light mode at this moment.
Agree but wouldn't ask everyone else change.
@@Harrythehun well I think people don’t know they can change it to be dark mode permanently. As default it switches between both
On your charging speed, check out the status of the air intake louvers. Snow slush loves to clog them, and that messes with HVAC, and the ability to precondition the battery. When they get clogged, they can't move and that may make it impossible to properly cool or heat the cabin and battery. They are supposed to have a heater, but sometimes it can't keep up. When slushy snow gets splattered by other vehicles tires, is when it's the worst. OK at an hour in you showed dirty louvers. Check in the notices to see if the it couldn't move the louvers.
Living here in the upper Midwest, I keep a wood dowel I use to clean the louvers out with if they get clogged up. I also have a knee pad to keep my knees out of the muck. On my last trip up to Northern WI I had to use it a lot to clean the louvers out.
That is super interesting Thanks for the pro tip!
I left MTL at 95% for Québec City (stop over). Arrived with 15% and charged on V3. Peaked at 226kw/h for about 12 minutes @ 12 degrees F outside then fell to 119 and topped at 107 until it hit 55%. Then it averaged at 75 until I hit 85% and finally 55 until 90. I was going to Chicoutimi. The whole trip was uphill. The Tesla prediction was 8-10kW optimistic. But when I reached 35% the energy consumption was surprisingly optimistic readjusting upwards. My conclusion was a 15% energy consumption greater than what Tesla predicted. The FSD did a fairly good job but deactivated it in a storm. I my Y is a P and I left it to comfort driving.
Dave, great video! I'm curious, given my daily driving distance of around 115 miles, mostly on Canadian highways, would you suggest opting for the Model Y LR, or do you think the Model Y RWD would suffice?
Kyle said on the 10% challenge video your X now has rattles and creaks like his S. I guess you’ll dump it like when you got the Lucid back, for the new 3! Of course, he’ll take that for months too!
Ford Mach e and lightning with an adapter will have Tesla app connected to ford pass and will be plug and charge. Just like they can use electrify America sites
Thank You for supporting Electric Vehicles and for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤
looks like they were throttling the station im shocked you didnt get 250kw
The main and obvious difference between L2 and L3 chargers is the silver ring on the cable. L3 chargers have no silver ring.
I hand wash my 22M3 and put it in car wash mode and wiper service mode so i can move the wipers, and as soon as i put it in drive it existed wiper service mode and dropped the wipers.
18:55 I use standard autopilot and it doesn’t seem to be very concerned by how much I look around. But i can’t figure out Tesla insurance. I will be paying attention going 35 behind a car that slows a little and I get a Front collision warning and yet I was in no danger of that. I can go from a 100 rating to a 65 on a hiven day just got that and the only way to increase it that day is drive a lot more without autopilot on. It’s nuts!
S3XY Buttons now has a feature to reengage autopilot after lane change. You should try it out.
Double stacked floormats in your Plaid X and this Y - not safe! Remove the summer mats and the Winter ones will fit more snugly and keep crumbs from going down the sides.
54:50 Don't forget to unbuckle your seatbelt when crossing into New Hampshire to feel the true 'Live Free or Die' spirit without having to fear cops pulling you over. New Hampshire is the only US state and one of the few places on this planet where you can legally drive on public roads without a requirement to buckle up. On interesting question with regards to driving a Tesla in New Hampshire would be, if the system automatically disables the seatbelt warning chime if you are in New Hampshire?
Nice from hindustan south.
39:51
Dad- How are yah?
Kyle- How's your trip
Jesus
how much does the cold affect a trip like this compared to say if you made it in the summer? living in the mid-atlantic (delaware) it gets cold. just curious if you say average on 80% charge normally 250 miles, does that become 170 or so in cold weather?
The leaf guy didn't tell you also the te rate per kwh is cheaper on the 50 than on the 100kw...
If you wan't to try one of the 50 or 100 I wouldn't mind starting a charge session for you.
I think you or your son should really talk about the public charging in Québec as we have built quite a nice network....
What do or did you do for living? Nice work on your vids too!
Electronic algo trading equities and futures / wall st. Thanks for watching !
31:57 you need to still use the app to charge.
I have a question then, concerning the wipers. Do you put the wipers in service mode if you expect snow the following morning? Does the Tesla automatically put the wipers in service mode, when snow is detected and it is parked?
Just precondition the car, and put it on defrost before driving it if it snowed.
Tesla has the brains
Auto Pilot can now be set with 1 click in the settings.
I’m not a Tesla fan, but I’m envious how easily this trip could be done w Tesla superchargers vs ccs.
It's going to be a gamechanger for non-tesla vehicles when they open up. I have to imagine it's going to help sales. Lots of Tesla owners getting tired of Tesla and wanting something different and new buyers that wont buy without access.
Dave, why do you have to double click the stalk to engage in AP? The latest software requires only a single click.
Really? I will have to try that Thanks!
It's is a setting. With the one tap you loose the acc function when changing lanes. Pretty useless for me, I want the acc function when changing lanes.
Dave, has the 2023 model Y ride comfort been improved from the older model Ys?
A bit smoother yup
This is a different subject but I consider you an expert on Tesla’s. Yesterday I went to the Tesla site and picked out a Model Y performance. I added the red paint and white interior, $3000 extra. I noticed that Tesla’s price is misleading. When they show the price they are subtracting a potential savings on what they think you would save not having to buy gas, they make it look like you’re saving $3600 but that amount is not coming off the total price, yet they show it being discounted. My wife and I don’t drive near that much. Another thing is Tesla doesn’t want you to trade a car in because their offer is a few thousand dollars less than KBB average. This makes a big difference in the amount of tax you would pay. One last thing is if your Tesla broke down and couldn’t be repaired by the mobile service and has to be towed to a repair shop. who pays for the tow charge? I live 120 miles from the Tesla Store. Looks like I will have to wait for the Cadillac Optiq or the Chevrolet Equinox EV. Thanks, Ronnie
You are clicking the potential savings tab instead of the purchase price tab.
@@zahf6484 But I still think Tesla is misleading by doing this. After all the price you have to pay is the bottom line. To me it would be the same thing if I bought a Geo Metro, and I was told I could potentially save thousands of dollars on gas. Tesla is guesstimating. If you are a Tesla owner could you tell me the answer about who has to pay the towing fee if it has to be towed in? I live 120 miles from the closest Tesla store and I don’t know if they have a repair shop. This could amount to hundreds of dollars just for one tow. Thanks, Ronnie
The towing to the service center is free. I had to do it last year and I’m 1.5 hours from the nearest one.
Ignore the Potential Savings tab when buying/configuring your new Tesla online. It is more useless than ever - best if it was deleted.
True but the meaning of potential savings is literally potential. Usage differs case by case but the potential for savings is there. I disagree, it is important to mention those potential savings to the customer as it is one of the biggest factors to purchase this car and they need to be made aware.@@ronniemullis8717
Hope You're Running Ice Tires into K BECK.:)
Quebec is famous for the cheese (curds)
Flo chargers are about as reliable as Tesla, great company with great support and based in Quebec, Electrify Canada could learn from Flo, maybe use their charger equipment.!
Flo is reliable like a wood burning stove
Why don’t you do this trip with the Model X? Why didn’t you do this trip with the Cadillac ELR either?
Model X is out west with Kyle for a while ELR not registered yet; DMV closed do to snow the day I had my appt and I have to wait for the next appt. So the Y got the nod
“For a while”? HAHAHAHA!
Hey Dave , do you have part Deux ? 😊
I do! Editing it now
I think that the "Autopilot" nomenclature gives many people the impression or illusion that it is more than what it is. It is just lane keep assist with distance pacing cruise control, PERIOD and furthermore is no better and in some cases WORSE than the driver assist functions on other automobile makes. Also, phantom braking is much more of an issue on Teslas than other makes. Tesla has room for improvement.
I'm an atheist
The sole is the bottom part of the shoe. It is sometimes referred to as two separate pieces: insole and outsole. The insole is the part of the shoe that has direct contact with the bottom of your foot.
Dave, listening to your playback at 1.75x makes you sound normal. Try it.
I like his normal speaking speed.
@@myaccount__7269 I'd also suggest Dave cut down on repeating simple location and destination info throughout the narrative. I have a working memory. Hooking up a Scan My Tesla would give valuable added info to report as the drive progresses.
At 1:16:00 you say you were doing speed limit of “62”. But you weren’t lol, Canada uses KM. You were in miles
I had the car in mph Speed limit was 100 km so i was good :)
@@dconner9 I always ceremonially change my car to metric when crossing into Canada.
