A new record we think..
We attempt to drive a Tesla Model S Long Range from Edinburgh to London without stopping. Can one single charge really be enough to drive over 420 miles in an electric car?
100 Kwh Battery, Dual Motor, Refreshed Raven model, favourable conditions - LETS DO THIS!

That was a fascinating show, over 700 km on a single charge. Phenomenal, although be wary of accepting juice drinks from this man! 😁 Thanks for this show.
Great effort rich. Done the electric community proud, everyone can live with EVs, let’s just make it affordable for everyone
If Tesla comes out with some sort of hatchback or compact SUV (Model 2?) starting at around £30k, I don’t think they’d be able to fling them off the production line fast enough.
Everyone can live slowly with EVs 😂. I cannot see myself tailing trucks with all the motorway driving I am doing.
Please re-do with cruising at the speed limit instead to see how long it will go with normal speeds.
@@Auraxium they are going to make a Golf sized car over the next couple of years. So the press say anyway
@@christianolsen9781 he does some journey like that to test them. Very good video testing about 8-10 cars
@@Auraxium They can't make the Model Y fast enough to fullfill consumer demand, so yes, you're absolutely right. Let's hope that Texas and Berlin come fully on-line sooner rather than later.
11:20 John Gorrie invented the air conditioner. He was granted U.S. Patent No. 8080 on May 6th 1851 for his invention.
In 1939, Packard became the first manufacturer to offer A/C as an option for cars.
Amazing
Fantastic public service! Cheers from the US.
Amazing that it's possible. Last 2 seconds cracked me up 🤣😱
😙😂
Incredible! I have just bought a M3 LR and the battery range on Teslas is simply incredible!
This is IMO the best channel for garnering all there is to know about Tesla EVs & others. Really like the head to heads as well as the road trips. Look forward to seeing comparisons between the Tesla S and the Lucid Air (when or if it gets in to production).
Astonishing! Almost 8 hours of driving on one charge. Way to go Tesla!
I'm sure someone will still complain that this isn't enough range 🙄
Yes 🤦♂️
There's the 1000km challenge made by Tesla Bjørn, not only with the Tesla but every EV you could throw at him. He's got no bladder for it but the discharge type 3C you should stay clear of.
In Germany the Diesel enthusiasts will complain for sure. When you are not able to go 1000 km without recharging an EV will not even considered as a real car. 1000 km, at 200 km/h, with a trailer...
at 55mph lol thats not driving
@@Matttski So you can walk faster then? It was done to prove a point, you fool..
My 2020 Audi TTRS will only do 300 miles with a full tank, so when my Tesla finally comes I’ll actually get a range increase! That’s very impressive though, I went for the M3P because I thought it was the more modern exciting car, the Model S still has a lot going for it though, the new ones are going to be insane!
Really good video, and a great gag at the end. Cheers from Ireland.
Glad I watched to the very end! 🤣
Back in 2016 I did a Crawley, Sussex to Edinburgh drive, in a first generation 24kWh LEAF. 450 miles.
Needless to say I didn't make it without stopping to recharge! In fact I was ultra cautious (100% reliant on Ecotricity, which were free of charge at the time) and stopped about every 50 miles (for about 20 minutes each). Yep, 8 charge stops. The same on the way home four days later, of course. No drama at all but lots of successful charge stops.
That was five years ago next week. I'm seriously considering replicating that in my 2020 Kia Soul EV. Could probably do it with one midway stop.
Adam that's pretty amazing!! Love the commitment and effort you put in to make it all the way and especially for free 😃👍
Leaving a 4:20 to drive 420 miles so many references, Elon would be proud. 🌲🌲
😉😂
Your videos are fast becoming an essential public service. Entertaining as well. Thank you and well done.
Thanks for an amazing video, I was riveted from start to finish.
I converted an old Freelander to electric so now can say I drive an electric car but my range is under 100 miles and currently it only charges at 3.5kW so I am insanely jealous of your long range Tesla. 😝
But yes I laughed out loud at the end.
21:10 you got me good, there! 😂
Don't own a tesla but very impressed.
Superb! What a fantastic effort - impressive piece of endurance & driving. For what it's worth I can personally confirm Richard was there in Edinburgh - great to see you again. I think that pretty much puts the whole range anxiety thing out of the picture! Well done!! Even THE bottle at the end :p Thanks for yet another great video and can't wait to see what you come up with next.
The longest journey I did in an EV was 1121 kms in an Ioniq 6.
Started at 8am in Santander, (Spain) port. ‘Spent an hour getting lost in Seville and reached Villamoura (Portugal) at 9.30pm that night.
Super impressive; the S is probably the only Tesla I’d consider, as I’m not a great fan to be honest of their interior/dash set-up, but you perfectly illustrate the trade off of brilliant range and of course, quick recharging! Nice one - a great advert for EVs.
That’s brilliant, what a superb test.
Brilliant video as always thanks 👍
It's all about wh/km or wh/mi aka efficiency. Great video that showcases this simple truth.
So much respect for your work!! Always a fan of your videos and effort and liking them!!
Wow that's really amazing, I honestly didn't expect that result.
By the way your black shirt probably didn't help under the son 😂
Congrats! Great idea and well done!
Well done 👍 oh to prove I watched it all I spotted the i3 at the end 😆
great video thanks for hard work ,looking to get one soon
Great job fellow huge bladder man lol keep up the great work
208Wh per mile? That is incredible efficiency.
Congrats!!! 🥳 Love to see that done in a model 3 LR sometime.. 😉
Great video as always. Love the humour at the end. You were the one who convinced me to go for Model 3 LR. Keep them coming! I think with ultra fast charging, range will become a non-issue if the costs can be kept low. Most people don't fill up their diesel tank to travel 600miles anyway
Brilliant video! Well done!
Great video , that range is incredible , huge drive 8 hours that’s a big effort !!😀
Excellent video especially as I’ve just watched the Fully Charged trip in a Mk1 Leaf from Jan 2014. This just shows the leap forward in Tech. However, my days of 4-5 Hr non stop journeys are over, most of us need porcelain & Tea every 2 hrs so 150 Miles & a Fast Charger is more than adequate 😃
it wasn’t many years ago an electric car wouldn’t manage 100 miles on a charge. It’s good you can now do this and even if it’s not necessary now to have this range , Tesla have set a standard, and it has made all the manufacturers improve the range of their cars.
I passed 15 superchargers en-route!
This was like a Top Gear challenge, well done great vlog.
Top Gear would use granny charging and say EVs are useless
Had my first look inside a Tesla Model 3 the other day and it has led me into watching reviews. Had it in my mind that these were the future but now staring to think in the immediate future. Great videos BTW.
really enjoy your vids mate, subbed
Wait for it till the last second 🤣🤣. Good one mate😝😝
Well done, great video
Heroic bladder control. Three hours is about my limit before needing some kind of inputs or outputs. Our record in the e-Niro is a 400 km round trip to Bordeaux from where we live in France. It was mid-winter sub 10c all the way and typically 110 km/h. Got back with 11% left so not bad but the Tesla S long range is on another level.
Having the fan on without AC helps when it gets warm. :) 87kwh used is exceedingly good. Nice work. 👍
Yes that’s what I did
Excellent!!
Great effort! Nice driving! I have exactly the same car! Love it!
Impressive, well done :)
Great job 👍
great job from great man 👍
.. thanks
Fantastic! Can’t wait to buy a Tesla soon! This Longrange is definitely the one to go for
676km!!! Thats insane👏🏼
In UK climate that's impressive range! With Autopilot it's pretty stress-free following trucks at 57mph, though honestly, I stop every 2.5 hours to go to the bathroom, grab a drink, stretch, etc. - The range of my Model 3 Performance is plenty enough for each stretch in my experience. :)
Excellent!
Great video I love a top gear challenge 👍
00:18 "Juan Sheet - one charge is plenty." I'm putting that sticker on my Tesla (if I get one).
"professional idiot" hahahaha! Bonkers but well done. Really shows what can be done. Though also shows no one in their right mind should 👍😂
Very impressive indeed! Comforting to know too.
WOW!
Amazing.
Enjoyed the video. Big lol at the end! The only question. Are you not worried about stone chips when slipstreaming? I have slipstreamed a lot in my Ioniq and I'm getting the bumper resprayed Friday.
I found a truck with one of those big flaps off the back bumper for most of it. But yes I wouldn’t want to do it all the time...
it was dry and the roads were clean
Love this video
The last bit was very funny.
Really interesting video, thanks! :-)
Well done 👍
And all in a t-shirt. Imagine what a jumper would have done.
Amazing channel.
Very impressive!
Nice one 👍 Pissing in a bottle to get a proper range test...that’s commitment for you 😂
Not sure that will be on the car advert though, slightly sweaty seat and a whiff of night club toilet in the interior. 😆
Brilliant well done
Love looking at the country side through the windows.
Awesome thanks
Absolutely brilliant. Ok its a bit mad but the thing he is making the most of the car. He is working with the machine, not against it. 👍
Thanks for all your insight in 2023👍
Tesla model S long range: for people who would rather pee in a bottle than stop at a Supercharger and use a toilet 😂
And 100k to buy it..
It’s an experiment dimwit
Great journey, great attempt, love it! Instead of heating the car you could have used the chair heating? Seems to use less electricity, as I understand. And: put on an extra shirt or jacket. Anyway, congrats💪🙏🏼.
Viewer from mainland China, also a S LR+ owner!
Thanks for the like, Symon, the LR+ with 100% full charge is 652KM and 90% @ 583KM. BTW, I really missed the "range mode" on the model S!
awsome video! the end was epic! xD
😋😂 sorry, jsut being silly
@@RSEV The world needs a bit of silly Rich, well done.
It's like a pilot checklist just to start in all the relevant modes. There are always out of your control circumstances.
I’m a professional idiot, love that line, pop it on your business card 😉
Also, very interesting video, thumbs up!
Thx Rich, much appreciated. I’ve had my 69plate Model 3 Long Range (but with cheeky little red line under the dual motor) since new; whilst I do have fun, I am consistently getting 300-310miles range. Saving for the Model S Plaid - huge fan.
Thank you
Model X Plaid - deposit down, in the queue!
4% spare, easy 400miles! Could do with a comparison same trip but for quickest time!
Filming the reverse trip next week, but this time with passengers and luggage and driving max speed limit all the time.
Oh you tease😘You had me for a second🤦♂️
😁
I believe those Tesla's have about 10 - 30 miles of reserve energy in the battery. At least that's what came up by the way of the recent Consumer Report dramas.
Excellent
Keep it up, you make really cool videos!
Thank you!
I've just had a look, around that time of year you got around 4kWh worth of wind power for that journey-seeing as you mentioned it.
Yes thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
there is something called a jumper. that would save putting heating on so much.
what would give more miles you drive or auto pilot doing cruise control for speed.
Well done
Rich, just wanted to say what a brilliant video. I have a 2018 S 100D, not quite the range of this model. Just wanted to know if you had any phantom braking issues during your long trip? Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks. Phantom braking this time no, but I have had recently with the current ap software. Hopefully gets better again soon.
Ap1 still preferred by me 💁♂️
Hi Rich, you little tinker !! Making us think you didn't make it hah hah hah.It just shows, yet again what a market-leading car the tesla really is. 204 watts/mile and on a motorway which for most other EV's is doomsville. I wonder what it would have been like if you'd turn re-gen off completely ??
Very good. If you are driving on motorway or main routes. There is not even a supercharger in Scotland to the West of Fort William or Inverness...
This really shows what an EV can do and while this is the top end this is frankly more than you need and equivalent batteries are getting cheaper.
The new "Model 2" has me very excited as I'll be able to afford that maybe a used Model 3 but for me it has to be Tesla for their superchargers.
20 degrees here in my country for us its so cold but when in the Uk 20 degrees its like summer for them haha
If you leave the keyfob at the 12 volt socket in the centre console you dont need to do the ‘Unable to Drive - Authentication Required’ as you just hold onto the brake pedal until the car turns on
Great video! 👍 Was that man drinking the juice at the end genuine? Or had it been replaced with real apple juice?
But the "Media" keeps repeating that the TMS can only travel 240 miles on the highway.
Wait for the Cybertruck Tri-Motors (500 miles) and the Roadster (620 miles)...
Amazing! although will never look at apple juice quite the same again...
Poor guy at the end hahaha!
Interesting experiment but I prefer to drive fast and stop for a quick supercharge... and a "discharge". Luckily I have never needed to "superdischarge" ...yet
Brilliant drive, I was hoping that you'd turn everything off so as to make certain you succeeded and you did! Brilliant!
You really ought to let Tesla know about this epic trip, currently everyone's trying to be the longest range holder!
