1,000 Mile Road Trip in a Tesla Model 3 (UK)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2020
- My first road trip in the Tesla. How long will it take to complete a 1,000 mile road trip in a Tesla Model 3, and more importantly how easy is it? Will I run out of charge and how much will it cost?
In this video I will be driving a 1,000 miles round trip road trip in the UK (York to Carbis Bay/St Ives in Cornwall), covering how I planned, prepped and completed the drive in my Long Range Model 3. What problems I faced, how much it cost me to charge and what I would do differently next time. #teslamodel3 #tesla #roadtrip
Thanks for watching, Chris.

Wow Spawnpoint!
A Tesla, beautiful Cornwall scenery, extra long vid and a chicken. This is your best video yet! 😄
And to think I nearly didn’t feature the chicken 😂

This video is heavily underrated.
Thank you 🙏
no its not
@@brockwinfrey7181 it is. Look at the quality and the details. Its a master piece.
its a pretty good video!!
Not "heavily" underrated
I love the fact that Tesla fine you that’s such a good idea to prevent people just parking at them for hours on end
God bless whoever invented it.
They also give you a wedgy
@@aldozilli1293 I wish
What a good idea setting the the recharge to 100% to help avoid fines.
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation! As an American, I especially appreciated you breaking everything down in miles and dollars for us. Can't wait to visit your beautiful country, once this pandemic is no longer with us!
Thanks Tony, and thanks for taking the time to watch too 🙏
Bear in mind Tony, we in the UK use miles too. We don't use those silly KM's either, so you'll be right at home if you ever get to drive here. 😁👍🏻
You’ll be amazed how many comments I get asking why I use miles instead of KM “as you’re not in America” 😂
The UK uses miles per hour as is for speed, but yeah thanks for using miles
You lot in the US use miles 'cos of us 😅. And gallons, yards, feet, inches, fahrenheit and any other measurement that makes no flippin sense. Don't mention it.
22:06 if you made it this far?
I didnt even skipped once. Loved the video
Thanks for the support 🙏
This is one of the most detailed and nicely presented tesla road trip videos I have ever seen. Please do more road trip videos or may be the camping in the Tesla videos. Love to see more
Thanks mate. That’s a great idea too.
I think it is funny that UK english adopted the “frunk” portmanteau rather than “froot”
Haha, I still call it froot
"froot" probably gets confused with "fruit".
@@ikanderson by that logic boot would get confused with boot. To stop confusion, keep your boots in the froot and your fruits in the boot 👌
Think Australia did too, just sounds bettter.
In india we call the boot ‘dickie’.
The longest road trip I organised was 1100 miles from the Uk to Moravia in the Czech Republic. A great video, lovely scenery and you have a wonderful voice
A word 'amazing' is not enough to describe your video, it is ideally composed and information delivered in an engaging way with a nice vibe.
I literally felt as if I was traveling together with your family, and at the same time I grasped experience of traveling long distances in Tesla.
I would like to say huge thank you! Hopefully you will continue making more videos like this.
Thank you for the awesome feedback!
One of the better Tesla channels on RUclips great shots very clear voice perfect editing. This helps me fill the void of not owning a Tesla. 😁
Ah thank you mate. Awesome feedback 🙏
I really enjoyed watching the trip and your commentary. Well done! Phil, from Canada.
Came in wanting to know about the long distance driving experience of a Model 3, came out amazed and struck by the UK's natural beauty from the countryside and harbor towns. I want to travel there someday.
Thank you for watching mate
Such an underrated video!! For a 1000 milk journey, that was effortless in terms of charging. Range left based on your trip and current usage is brilliant.
When I order next month, I’ll definitely be using your referral link. Honestly the best produced and presented model 3 videos on RUclips 👍🏼
Thanks mate. Proper nice hearing comments like this.
Did you get it yet? And if so how are you enjoying the car?
@@getrektm87yearsago29 Man got the rona xD
Great video. My model 3 LR is coming on Wednesday, so this is giving me some last minute smugness 😂👍
Haha good luck for Wednesday! Enjoy the drive home.
love the car. love the scenery. Thank you SpawnPoint for sharing 😀
Thanks for watching 🙏
Man! you can't stop making videos. Your videos are soo beautiful and feels like am there with you the whole time ☝🏾
Thats it. All my questions answered. Ordering the model 3 tonight. Yes, I did watch the video right till the end and you have been amazing. Apart from the car, you brought back a lot of sweet memories. As a young dumb broke sorry and single man, I started my life as an NHS medic at the derriford. Devon and Cornwall has the most caring and genuine people ever. They actually made me fall in love with the country. 10 years down the line, Living in essex, I miss Cornwall every day. Hope to go back one day.
You just earned yourself 1000 supercharging miles mate. TC
Thank you mate 🙏
We did a 2,500 mile round-trip road trip in my Model 3 last Christmas from Pontiac, MI to North Port, FL in the US. Was a blast! We had to supercharge 9 or 10 times each way, some as short as 20 minutes and some as long as 60. Seeing the range increase going from cold Michigan to hot Florida was fascinating. It also cost me nothing, thanks to some friends who used my referral code :)
I watch this video regularly. Such good info. I live in Ireland but originally from Belgium. I’m hoping to buy the Model 3 next year and take that road trip from Ireland to Belgium with it
I know EXACTLY where you were when those geese are in the road. I love Cornwall so much! Would love to have a holiday down there with a Tesla.
You know what I’m surprised about? Your production quality. It’s. Spot. On. Never knew about your channel before this video, but be sure I’ll be watching more model 3 content soon!
Thanks Jamie. Good to hear you gave me a chance 🙏
I just took a 3k road trip and realized way safer than any other car. Spend way less money and you arrive way rested
Most importantly you know in the tiredest moment. It really helps
I think this is the best video I’ve seen from a UK owner. Thanks so much h for the detail you included!
Thanks Mark 🙏
This video should have more than a billion views.
Haha thanks
Loved the fine long-trip video. All seemed to translate well to doing a similarly-ranged trip in the USA. I noted seven hints that seem quite useful for our first long-range trip. My wife and I, both seventy-nine, just bought our remarkable Tesla Model 3 LR and have been using a "first things first" learning methodology. We have started out with home charging on our normal 110v charge supply at about 10 mph. Now installing 240 vac for 30 mph capacity. Our survey of local Tesla charging stations shows quite a nice choice, Florida has loads of vacationers so gets some favoritism, I'm sure. Your term "range anxiety" has hit home but your video went a very long way to help reduce this aspect of EV car ownership, thank you. Overall the Model 3 is such a joy to drive we feel compelled to try a longer trip very soon. The stay-at-home of this COVID pandemic makes driving in our Model 3 a very safe and very effective stress reliever and your encouraging video, even if in the UK, has been a huge help. Thank you again and keep it up.
BTW have visited and road-tripped in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland in rented diesel automobiles. So glad Teslas are a big hit there. Hope one day to be able to rent a Tesla for a road trip in UK.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! Sounds like you’ve got it sorted and you know what you want from the Model 3. Enjoy and happy ownership.
The video wasn’t long enough. Keep them coming. Looking forward to the next home set up videos. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Been inspired by yourself mate..my son is Tesla mad so we caught a train to Leeds from Hull yesterday and while the women were shopping, me & the lad walked over to Tesla (20mins) and had a test drive in a model 3 and it was absolutely awesome, never felt anything like it, we couldn't stop smiling and talking about it going back to meet the girls..The guys at Tesla leeds were brill for organising for us..just got to start saving now.. 😆👍
This is awesome. I hope you get one🤙
Probably one of the very few videos I saw every second without skipping. Great video and great details. I also enjoyed all of the scenery you captured. Great job.
Thanks Robert.
"if you've made it this far in the video, thank you!"
Me *doing dishes* "You're welcome (guess there were a lot of dishes then)"
Haha mate. Thanks for watching it all 🙏
I really enjoyed watching the trip and your commentary. Well done! Phil, from Canada.
I really enjoyed watching this video especially those spectacular views of the UK. I am from Malta and I love UK.
Sounds incredible - Cant wait for TESLA to come to South Africa
Baba elon sending back to his country its going to be a problem with carjacking tho
Elon will make a special tesla carjack edition
It will have automatic machineguns
Great video, the combined travelogue and Tesla charging format was really fun.
My longest trip in my dual motor Model 3 is about 1,200 miles (San Diego California to Phoenix Arizona, 400 each way and about 400 in Phoenix over a week).
My trip was with the opposite weather . . . full sun and 100 degrees (38 Celsius). I found that using the AC the entire time didn't seem to have much impact on range . . . about a 10% reduction.
Superchargers made the journey incredibly easy. I did two stops each way, and after a bathroom break and having a coffee it was time to continue. While in Phoenix my hotel didn't haven charging but there were Superchargers at an upscale shopping area, so a couple of stops for dinner over the week sorted that out.
Autopilot (with FSD) made the long drive almost effortless, and provided entertainment as it was fun to monitor the car and see when it decided to change lanes to overtake, or how to navigate complex freeway interchanges. Absolutely love my Tesla!
Wow, that sounds like an awesome trip. Again no issues! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this. I just want to agree I've just returned from my first really long trip in my model 3 long range from Suffolk via the ferry at Portsmouth through Bilbao to Granada in the south of Spain (I.e. pretty much the total length of Spain) and it was utterly painless. We pretty much stopped when we would have done anyway and everything worked faultlessly. Some of the Superchargers were in unprepossing lorry stops but there was always a decent coffee whilst we were waiting. Our supercharging was free too but my rough calculation is that it would have cost about 40 quid on "fuel" each way under half the average costs in our previous diesel car.
That’s a good trip mate, thanks for sharing too. You’re right, it’s painless, but isn’t it amazing how many people think it’s not possible OG takes days to do? I guess until you research or actually do it, you don’t understand the practicality.
Yep and FWIW first supercharger stop for many off the Brittany Ferry will probably be the Landa Hotel in Burgos which is (in my opinion) the best hotel I've ever stayed in....try to arrange to be there for breakfast....or indeed dinner
I have watched movies, like fully, but a youtube video? holy moly I watched yours second by second, your commentary is just fascinating. Thank you so much for such beautiful video. Much love to you and your family.
Thank you for watching mate
One of the best Tesla road trip videos I've seen. Lots of superb advice about trip planning and charging. Plus, as a Brit living in California, seeing Cornwall brought back tons of memories. Can't wait to get my T3 in the new year. Great video!
Thank you Graeme, I appreciate that! Roll on the new year.
I think this goes to show that there’s no reason not to go full electric in the UK. Yes some may still complain at the mild inconvenience of having to go out of your way to find a charger and then walk back but I think this is a small price to pay for the benefits. Cant wait to hopefully get a Y one day,
Exactly mate. The pros far outweigh the cons that’s for sure.
Did you watch the same video!?
Absolutely agree. 200%
@@thomasglover3834 I did: saw a person driving most of the way down England and only stopping where he usually stopped in a regular car. As he said, there was a GeniePoint rapid charger near his destination which he chose not to use. Could have gone to that, had a day out and had all the charge he needed for his whole holiday.
Seemed like a piece of piss to me.
I agree, the only concern would be if we see a huge increase in EV’s then do we have the charging infrastructure to deal with that many electric cars on the road? I rarely see Tesla’s right now and it was already somewhat an inconvenience to find a charger when going to somewhere remote like Cornwall.
5:54 As someone in a LH drive country, I like to imagine this is how a self driving car would look and feel like, in the driver seat :)
Thank you for sharing your moments with us.
This is one of the best videos I’ve recently seen on RUclips. Thanks man
Thanks dude
Utterly beautiful car, Tesla has been my dream car for awhile now.
4 freakkkkiiiiinnnnggggg Pound for 1030miles. Mate, just imagine if 10-15 years ago people hear that we can travel 1030miles in just 4 pounds. They would literally laugh or just call us bluff cause it sounds too good to be true. 😍
This is because he had a referral link that people have used and he’s got free miles. Otherwise he would have had to pay for this too. So it would have been around £80 for the likes of me and you.
@@AwsomeVK still pretty cheap eh
@@masochistboy653 But remember, even if an occasional road trip like this was the *same* cost as buying petrol, the big advantage comes with charging at home on a cheap rate tariff......which you'd be doing most of the time. Plus the EV still wins hands down on servicing costs.....
Thank you for the great video, planning my first long range journey with my model 3
Lovely job this has really given lots of information about long road trips in a Tesla
Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks Bom.
When I see Bristol bridge, I know I'm on a UK holiday.
Same haha
I’m from Liverpool but I’d say I feel at my happiest when I’m on my way to the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Awesome video! 👌🏻
Cheers mate. I bet that’s a nice drive up there too.
One of the best tesla road trip I watched, loved how you've done it. Nice video.
GREAT VIDEO! This was the BEST video I’ve seen and have been looking for something like this to see how a Tesla does on a long road trip and this fulfilled my needs. You just got another subscriber.
Thanks mate.
Amazing dude. Appreciate your hard efforts. To have a family holiday and create content! Dedication right there 👏 🙌
Thanks dude. Appreciate that, I’m not saying it was easy, but it was fun 😂
Im from India till now not so much development in automobiles hope to experience same thing in next 5 years🥂
Me to from India
same here
i live in mumbai but the roads are shit here 😂😂
Just wanted to say that I found your channel recently and have been loving your videos. Your Tesla, PS5, and other tech content is really great. Beautiful and clean visual style. I've been just driving through yoir Tesla content. I'm also going to be buying a Model 3 soon and will use your referral. Really awesome stuff dude, keep it up!
Thank you mate. I appreciate the feedback and support.
Lost track of time while watching this. Loved the comprehensive documentary and the production quality! Looking forward to more videos like this!
Thank you
Amazing road trip. I have never driven an electric, but it looks really great. But I think I would get range anxiety! Undoubtedly, the charging infrastructure, times and range will improve over time, but as you've shown, with good planning long journeys are surprisingly feasible. I really enjoyed your video -- epic family grand tour!
Good job man! I really enjoyed this video, keep up the great work.
Thanks mate
Thank you for the many in-depth details, and the beau’s scenery. Very helpful video.
My longest road trip; London To Stuttgart (& back), once a year for 4 years till I moved to Germany :)
Great Video...
I am binge watching all your Tesla Videos... pure quality... well done.
Thank you mate. That’s one long journey for sure.
Best Tesla video I've watched so far!
Amazing content and great to see some genuinely honest feedback about long distance travelling with a Tesla. The pros are seriously starting to out way the cons.
Are you kidding?
This was kind of a journey which I felt I lived with your video, really appreciate you making such videos
Thanks for watching
really enjoyed your video ... very thorough and easy to follow. Very well done!!
I really enjoyed this video! My wife and I are planning on buying our first Tesla in the coming months very excited!
Nice one mate. Thank you too.
This made me a tesla fan.
Watching this and taking in my education when I don't even have a Tesla! Great video and will definitely take your advice for when I get one in the future
Excellent video and very helpful, thank you. I take delivery of a Model 3 next week and now, having seen your video, am getting quite excited about it!
You’re welcome, a lot of us watched till the end I reckon
800 miles is my longest journey
Thanks for watching mate. Honestly appreciate it. 800 miles is massive!
700 mile is my furthest in a day. From Kent to Liverpool port (Holyhead)
Thanks for sharing! The highlight was the chicken of course. I don't think your trip was a hassle at all, you had it all planned and it doesn't really take much time to do so. Looking forward to my upcoming 500 mile trip on my Model 3!
That’s awesome mate. Good luck for the road trip 💪
I’ve watched this videos 10 times. I really loved it.
I love these kind of videos. completely new to Tesla and electric cars but I like it! Definitely the way forward
Great video. I’m just back from St Mawes to Doncaster in my PHEV. I’d never use a charger for my electric side of things, just used the 3 pin plug at our holiday house then the engine. Looking at a Tesla in the future and holidays to Cornwall will be fine on this. Keep up the top videos.
Thank you Jonathan! Yes you’d have no issues with the Tesla, hopefully this will prove it’s very doable (especially in the U.K.).
Ooooh Jonathan, you're throwing good money away. You really ought to charge that battery up at every opportunity. The longer trips are (perhaps) where the PHEV loses out a touch, but of course if you can keep that battery topped up for commuting then it pays off nicely... I don't know the size of the battery, but surely it wouldn't take more than 30 minutes to whack it up on a 50kw charger?
No problem, and thank you for giving me some ideas to buy my dream Tesla car!!
Hey man, this has really sold me on the Model 3! Great video, well edited, fantastic! Thanks.
Thank you mate
This video has done two things for me. First, I'm excited to get my model 3 in March and do some road trips. Second, I now want to vacation on the coast and the UK. Great video!
I've never been in a tesla but this is cool to see,
I live in Plymouth so this is cool to see for that reason too
Really great video and the fact it cost you next to nothing to cover 1000 miles is remarkable. Love the cameo from the chicken too!
Great videos! I have a 2018 Model 3 long range RWD coming this week, so I’ve been watching all the videos I can. Really enjoy yours, great job.
That's awesome mate, enjoy the new car.
What an entertaining and picturesque video. I’m a Tesla owner from Vancouver, Canada, but as a new owner I still found this very helpful even though we’re a long ways apart. Thank you.
As a Norwegian who has followed EVs (such as Teslabjørn) for soon a decade, this is a fantastic format. First of all, it is palms up true life with an EV - in ways that traditional motor journalists can not (or will not?) do. It is demystifying and interesting at once (and it even reminds this Norwegian about how far we have come with infrastructure with just a few years head-start on my British friends. As John Lennon said - "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end". This is certainly true for charging infrastructure.
And as I think, I may have to wait for 20 minutes for a fast charge once a month or so. The upside is that my money goes to feed me a decent meal instead of feeding my car dino-juice.
Secondly, I certainly enjoyed the trip and scenery, as I did visit some of these places almost three decades ago while spending around a year guest-visiting Bristol and Swansea Universities. You sure have a beautiful coastal landscape.
Thank you for letting me piggyback on your trip via this excellent video (including the production value and narration).
Thank you. Thank you for the kind words and feedback. It’s greatly appreciated 🙏
We live in York, and did the same road trip as you last week - I’m trying to convince my wife that we need a Tesla!
We saw you in carbis bay, coming up from the hotel at the bottom. We were the family stood on the wall just next to the bridge!
Wow. That’s incredible, what a coincidence. Did you know it was me at the time? I’m amazed someone has spotted me 😂 (I hope I was courteous).
SpawnPoiint no, I’d seen some of your videos, but didn’t clock it was you until this video! We went to mousehole too!
@@robbeckett4131 what are the chances of that? or is this an elaborate way of admitting you're stalking him. :P
@@imaadmalik7336 LOL! I just want a go in his car!
Rob Beckett it’s a sweet ride, I can see why
Thanks for your great video. Take care and safe travels everyone!
Very good, thank you. Just had my Tesla for 2 weeks and I love it!
Nice one, enjoy it.
I watched it till the end. I'm satisfied.
Absolutely loved this vid, really informative and beautiful scenery. We live in Sheffield and are getting our M3 SR+ in a couple of weeks, I'll be lucky if I cover 10 miles in a day, but vids like this helps for when we consider holidays. Thanks again x
Thanks for watching. I’m guessing you’ll collect from Leeds too? I’m the same, day to day don’t cover many miles but longer trips is a breeze. Good luck for the collection.
@@SpawnPoiint yes we are collecting from Leeds, I noticed on another video you drove to Meadowhall, did you happen to drive on any of the roads around Sheffield that has the Super tram tracks in as I wondered how the Tesla's AP copes. X
I haven’t actually no. That would be an interesting test though, you’ll have to let me know 😂
@@SpawnPoiint will do 😱😱
@@SpawnPoiint we've had our M3 a week and loving it, any excuse to go for a drive I'll be off. Tried the autopilot over the tram tracks and it just seemed to make the car weave from side to side as if confused 😁 so I panicked and turned autopilot off 🤣🤣
Brilliant video, thank you so much for taking your time to do this, I found it very informative
I don’t know why but I’m just in love with these type of videos watched the whole thing through. Amazing video keep it up 👍
Thank you dude. Hopefully I can do another this year.
I just found out England beaches can be georgeous ! :)
From Greece, nice video loved it
Thank you 🙏
That was thorough! really good vid, thanks for your efforts!
Wow this is sooooo detailed. Amazing video as usual
I’m from Orange County, California and I am so jealous of roads and highways with so few cars on them!!
I would totally want to kidnap that chicken. She’s awesome! Now I’m worried about a chicken on another side of the world that I’ve never met getting hit by a car. Or eaten!
Like the video. Tesla is definitely on my future cars list. Especially since my state is banning sales of new non electric cars in a few years time. Very cool cars though and 2021 versions are going to be great.
i thought that was a great video, you made owning a tesla look fun even with the charging breaks.
This is certainly the best Tesla road trip video I've ever seen!
Thanks for watching
My first step into the world of Tesla was watching this video. You explained it very well mate. I just can't believe there are free charging points! You saved yourself so much money.
Thanks for watching mate!
Absolutely excellent video. Quality content and dialogue and excellent editing.
The ONLY slightly disappointing part was where you questioned whether a hybrid truly needed the charger more than a pure EV. Surely you don't begrudge someone else getting free/cheap 'fuel' do you?
Regards Mark in the UK
The clue is in the word ”public charger”
@@fmsantoscar The clue is, the public charger for everyone. but Tesla Chargers aren't.
Love your videos and the way you narrate, Keep up the good work !
Thank you mate. Genuinely pleased people like it, and honoured you spend your time watching.
AMAZING VIDEO !
I love your stykke, never ever change that, not even slightly.
I usually see many of the "big" automotive Chanels, but i can say
100 percent honest that your videos have slot more production value - a great mix of knowledge and great cinematics.
The reason for watching this was tjhat i considered getting a Tesla, the reason for the comment and the follow of your channel is that i am 100 percent sure to buy one now
Thanks for a great video M8, keep Up rhe good food job
Solid share and experience! Watched till the end! Cheers mate✌️
Thanks dude
Lovely video. As a west country person (well that's where my parents are), I'm slightly jealous that Cornwall has so many fast chargers. There's not a one in Dorset
Cheers mate. It was great to see so many down that way. In fact the entire journey down is covered pretty well for me. A shame my closest at home is ~60 miles though.
Hope the hybrid user used the available site services the same as you did before asking them to move... (unsure)
Well done. Gives us all hope! I'm in Weston and travel to Devon & Cornwall regularly but never in an EV. The M3 LR arrived 2 weeks ago so the challenge is now on!
It’ll be a breeze for you then haha
Picked up my 1st EV car this week, Tesla Model 3. Been a bit nervous about making the switch and watching your video has really helped with that anxiety, also picked up a few really useful pointers. Thanks
That’s awesome. No worries and enjoy.
