A great video would be Kyle road tripping with his Mom. She'd want all this buffer and he'd be wanting to leave with estimated -3% arrival 😂
That would be awesome and hilarious.
@@vigilant4220 For Sure!
Kyle and his mom in a Porsche Macan EV arriving at -3% estimated.
Love the banter between Kathy & Dave. Amazing constraint on avoiding expletives.
You 2 look great in the Pladdington! Don’t ever get rid of this car. Your road trips are a lot of fun!
Love watching road trips with you and Kathy
Kathy is a shining Star!!!
Enjoyed watching Kathy & Dave's perspective.in this video. As a native Massachusetts person who has lived in the Midwest for 25 years, I believe I said many similar things about the Midwest after living in New England,. Also, Culver's began in Sauk City WI, northwest of Madison WI. Culver's reminds me of Friendly's restaurants of the late 1970's and 80's except Culver's has custard, not ice cream.
Living in Nebraska and listening to your pronunciation of Kearney is breaking my heart. It’s Car-knee for Kearney. 😂
Sorry!
The conversation that you had with OOS Mom about Autopilot was super real. She wouldn’t be so concerned about being tired if she actually used it so I agree with you.
When I used auto pilot from Florida to Maryland, that 14+ hour trip was easily doable straight through and arrived and continued about my day as if I just went down the street.
OOS mom has the same viewpoint as my wife but my wife is the one that’s always changing speeds on the highway and annoying everyone around her LOL
I'm with Kathy on the actually driving part.
Tesla Road Trip last summer included a Culvers stop in North Dakota while charging.
Cornhusker hotel has been the same for at least last 40 years
I’m 45 and remember when the original was demolished… my parents worked in television news in Nebraska, and that was big news then. We moved to Virginia when I was 7.
Nice 👍🏽hello from 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
Dave why don’t you take a trip to Norway and see how the electric cars are so popular here. Whould be really nice to meet you here in Oslo, Norway
Yes Norway is great. Maybe he could meet Tesla bjorn since Kyle never works it out.
Dave Kearney Nebraska is were ev Dave and Kyle baught the Mach e in 2021 and Kyle drove it all over then ev Dave and Kyle took it back to North Carolina were Dave lives.
Dave in Europe would be great as long as he comes with Kathy. Bailey would be welcome too.
Our Country's EV Queen traverses States that she has never seen before escorted by her Knight/Consort.
Boomer Dave you are at the top of your game. Consumption seems very high, but you roll in style so it's fine. Really enjoy your road trip videos...i found Kyle years back from his road trip videos which lead me to you. Out of Spec mom seems like good company.
Thanks for watching!
Love y’all!!!!
Absolutely love watching the road trips with you two (and Bailey)
Our used 2023 Model X Plaid, (same spec as yours besides the yoke) with 2,300 miles came with FSD. We've received the latest update and it works well. We received the free FSD for a month in our 2022 RWD Model 3 and it works really well there also. I think the interstate is where it really shines. Auto lane changes are fantastic. Great video Dave!!
Love watching the Tesla Colorado to CT road trip. That's my annual trip and seeing all the charging spots along to way brings back fond memories. I'll be doing it in the Lucid next trip. We'll see how it compares.
Dave, they are building a Buccees in Huber Heights, OH near Dayton. There is a Wally's (which is something like Buccees) in Pontiac, IL but I think Buccees is better.
25:00 LOL. Kathy, my hubby blames me for everything also. Always, my fault.
In just a short 170 years for the entire human history the inner Nebraska went from Pony Express to Tesla Superchargers. It is hard to imagine what will be changing in another stretch of 170 years.
watch mad max fury road
@@zachlafond2652 Stay positive!
1:27:03 Old Model X usually did that when you arrive bellow 10% they charge slower and after 10% they charge with their peak rate
Corn Husker Hotel is pretty nice - I’ve stayed there too
Hi Dave Supercharger V2 station with the Model Y front in, CCS cannot charge here, but I pull a trailer and these should be marked for towing only.
X looks lovely.
Thank you foranother great road trip.
My model Y did this, but In the opposite direction. I would charge to 10% on arrival, and during my drive it would drop to -5% on arrival. I did a top charge to 100% and it seemed to clear it up. I dont think you have the same problem tho.
I live in Minnesota now but spent much of my life in Iowa. I think the lack of dealerships in Iowa is a major factor to the slow adoption there. I live in the Cities now but feel like I still see a lot of EVs in more rural Minnesota & Wisconsin. But not having a presence to see the cars & hear about other's experience seems to have kept Iowa behind it's neighbors.
I don’t know, I live in Des Moines and there are a lot of Teslas here. There are six of them in my neighborhood.
I totally think the same as Kathy.
Nice trip video!
I agree with Kath, I prefer driving and being engaged.
Your X sure looks a lot like Kathy. 😅
26:00 death stare 😂😂 I would've just parked the car on the side and got out to walk around. Better to get your weather mats dirty than your car. Assuming you have some. You could always clean your shoes as well.
40:21 😂😂😂 oh Kathy you are too funny!
1:18:00 congrats!!
1:30:50 well diesel was less expensive several years ago. 😅
1:46:47 thank for sharing your trip and what a great start to the weekend!
Always enjoy your road trips. Could you say something about the ride quality in the X compared to Kathy's Y? Tesla gave me six months FSD on my 2023 X because it wasn't available when I first got it. I really liked it on road trips. It navigated through heavy Chicago Interstate traffic at night in the rain better than I could. I am anxious to try the new version of FSD because I didn't like the old one on city streets, and might be willing to pay the new $99/month if it works well. So far I have never had phantom braking in my X. Knock on wood. I just added a key fob to my X and really like the ability to close and lock everything with one push of a button. Rear passengers always have issues closing the doors when exiting. The fob fixes that.
Ryan Gosling was in LaLaLand. Fun video as usual !!
1:27:50 maybe the next time you’re curious about charging speeds and temperatures go into the service mode charging screen where the car will show you the battery temperatures.
Well-done guys 😂😂😂 🎶🎶
Pack voltage is very low when the car is at low state of charge. Which limits the amps it will take. I learned that from Kyle.
Well actually the amps is limited to 400 amps at many chargers. So if the pack voltage is only 360 volts X 400 amps, then the KW is limit is 144 KW, (360V X 400A) while at 400 volts X 400 amps, then the limit is 160 KW. Many chargers will allow more than 400 amps.
Of course the battery management will also limit the amps on a very low pack, so it is not slammed with a lot of power at a low state of charge.
I agree with Kathy. I’ve used adaptive cruise control on long trips and I’ll get tired. Especially if my wife is with me because she hates a lot of noise like music in the car.
It is very difficult to avoid autopilot jail when cruising speed is set to 85 mph. I've done this many times and realize much how more difficult driving long road trips is without autopilot.
I have a 2014 model S 85, planning on taking a road trip soon, it has about 236 miles of range on a full charge, and had a battery replacement about 57K miles ago
although I love my mach- e driver assist, it does cause me wanting to nap lol
Isn't having your battery charged to 100% and then just sittling there overnight a bad thing to do?? I was always told that if you charge to 100% (NON LFP batteries) that you should start driving almost immediately. What's up with that?
You are right I was tired It was a one off and you caught me
@@dconner9 You are forgiven..LOL
Yup, sad but true.
I don’t understand why the model Y charges slower when my 2018 model 3 long range can hold almost 150 at 50% as the model X did
If you have AP at 85 and want to go faster to pass, disable it before you punch it.
Hey Dave somthing I'm wondering on my 2019 Model 3P I don't see under 100kw until after 61% SoC sometimes after 63% It sounds like the newer cars charge much slower?
Not only did I get a free month of FSD, but they also dropped the monthly subscription to US$99.00 per month. I believe they are dong this to give their Dojo computer much more data to enable better FSD performance before their release of Robo taxi and also to maybe gain some more FSD subscriptions and more income.
Ranch? In Buffalo it's illegal for a wing to touch Ranch. Blue Cheese is the way to go!
hahaha
My city Tacoma, wa is the same way another of older area is 2 to 3 numbers and the alphabet .
Dave. There are several Culver’s in my city Coral Springs FL.
Hey Dave fantastic to see you and Kath back in your Model X again. At the 3:30min mark you have a text up talking about basic Autopilot but then mention no FSD on the 2023 Model Y is that for Kath's Model Y or did you mean your Model X? I know of Omaha and now know about Ogalala so do all towns/cities in Nebraska have a requirement to be named O-something? Kathy: Is it semi-common occurrence where you say something to Dave, like "You talk alot" but it doesn't register and he remains on his thought process. ;) Really enjoy your road trips you do together yes with Miss Bailey easier as she doesn't say No to Dave's requests.
Yes... ERROR!!! so sorry on the Y vs X text. Thanks for pointing that out! It's tough editing these videos to get it all 100% correct. I do all the editing myself and missed that one. uggh. And yes, Bailey doesn't talk back to me... She just looks at me with love and happiness everytime haha
just love the road trips :)
With tesla road tripping is stress free. Nice, unlike others that suck.
You broke the 85mph limit for AP. I don’t recall if that’s a strike or not. I’ve done it too for the very same reason. You just want to get past a vehicle and don’t realize you’re already going 80 mph.
Hey Dave, I think the 1 month FSD was for folks that have never experience FSD so if you have in the past maybe you don't get it ? I could be wrong but I though that was what Elon stated.
OMG, going to Grinnel you were arriving with only 1% SoC with Kathy in car. That put you in the dog house.
Agree with Kathy. I want to drive the vehicle, not have some ADAS do it. I still need to pay attention so why not actually be involved and drive. Much more interesting. Maybe I'll turn on ADAS long enough to reach for something or take a picture but, of course, then it will freak out because my eyes aren't on the road. You can road trip with me any day, Kathy. Dave needs to report his weight before and after the trip as part of the data logging LOL.
1:00:40 thats a V2....no NACS allowed anyways....
I noticed that
I am curious if you, Dave, kept the all weather tires tested by Kyle or you opted to reinstall the factory tires. I would think the Tesla Model X being used in New England might use the year round those all weather tires.
He kept them. I am rolling back on OEM's
Fsd 12 has come a long way. Almost a 21 year old driving vs a teenager.
Looking forward to you reviewing FSD 12 supervised.. in my experience it is a huge step forward
Videos coming and I like what I see
We almost didn’t think this day would ever come! 😂 Glad ya got back to Plaidington!
Hey all ! I have a 2024 X LR for about a month now. I’ve noticed a vibration in the pedal once I hit the 46-49mph range. Anybody have insight on that?
I was getting 115 kW at 50% in my last Supercharging session in my Model Y.
That’s 40kW less than what they were charging at.
@@reggiebuffat I know, but he said he got about 100 kW in Cathy's Model Y at 50%. I got more than that in my Model Y.
@@777Outrigger maybe your battery temperature was better than his?
That’s still 35kW less than what he was charging his model x
@@reggiebuffat I know that. I wasn't comparing my Y to his X. I was comparing it to Cathy's Y.
Finally! Ever since "last video will be the road trip" I've been waiting for this. Thanks for a great journey!
Dave- Kyle should write a book about Tesla for dummies - I see you're navigating to the next supercharger and it pre conditioned for you. I never did that on my last roadtrip. I put in Dallas to Lincoln and it had me stop 5 times in 650miles -- it took so long at each stop I finally traded it in. Wish I knew a faster way to make this trip. Tesla should've showed me but after losing 24k on my trade I'll probably be with Rav4 until the charging is faster and range is longer
For long road trips I always use ABRP which is now owned by Rivian. On a sliding scale, you can select minimal number of stops vs fastest time to destination. It works really well and free. I use the Tesla gps for preconditioning and to navigate between chargers. Multiple trips between SW Florida and Boston were very easy.
We have Culver’s in Columbus Ohio
Kum and go. Too funny
FSD-use it all of the time for long trips- actually makes me less tired and more awake-much more relaxing. Yeah- have to get used to it. Wife will never use it- does not even use cruise control. So definitely not for everyone.
FYI, CCS peeps can't use V2 chargers
So skip Des Moines. Find that the SC doesnt run as fast as you thought. I know SC sites are generally great but they do fail. Always have a plan B and listen to your wife
I do think the BMS protects the car when SOC is that low. Lowest SOC I have hit with 2023 MYLR is 6% and the car notified me when I arrived at home to plug in immediately. I also don't understand why the charging and navigation systems says you can continue your trip at a certain SOC say 58% with arrival SOC being say 10% knowing that higher speeds which everyone travels will result in real world SOC at arrival something below 10%, say 6%. So I also charge until I see arrival SOC at 20% or better to ensure I have enough buffer to compensate for traveling at higher speeds. I have also notice a number of times where my arrival SOC will drop dramatically when I leave a supercharger within the first 20 minutes of the drive. Then it will level off and maybe even gain a percent or two. At that point I am usually confident that will be the real arrival SOC excluding some unforeseen environmental factor like high winds, rain, snow, etc.
If all the other chargers are not being used, will you be billed extra once you reach 100%? That would mean getting out of bed late at night.
what r u using for ur go pro?
Go Pro 10's
I meant to hold it on the glass
Dave, you should not top charge and let it sit overnight. It would have been better to stop at 90% for overnight then take in the last 10% while you grab breakfast in the hotel. That way you leave with a warm pack and you burn off the top 10% without much damage to the cells.
I totally know this and you are 100% correct. I was tired and shouldn’t have done it Real world stuff here O well Don’t do it often :) thanks for watching !
What’s up with the napkin on the in cabin camera??
Just wondering if your charging is free or are you paying?
driving on the sidewalk out of spec Style HAHAHAHAHAHHA
and for your phone?
Wow, your blinker is loud.
use joe mode..it annoyed me until i figured that out
2 words, ice machine.
Gorilla DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad Kyle let u drive ur Tesla Model X FUN FUN FUN
Cathy might be a keeper !!!
Lol @ “ u talk a lot “
Funny how Dave says zoom in for the windmills but went in the mud to see John Deere equipment.
fair point haha
Will there be a model xxx?
💯 agree with OOS Mom regarding driver assistance. I hate adaptive cruise and lane centering. Regular cruise is all I want.
My nephew was using adaptive cruise control on a trip to San Diego, with very heavy traffic for the last 20 miles. He said the adaptive cruise control was great and stress free, with the ability to not need to monitor the car in front of him so intently.
I say no to voluntary taxation!
Nice work - sun glasses will help with your AP jail...
You should get FSD for free for one month. I got my FSD 12.3 one month trial the first week of April, 2024.
Love your videos but do my ears a favour and buy some propper mic 😉 the audio is terrible 🙏🏼
Ya... I get it. Thanks for the feedback
Please discuss Tesla Stock falling off a Cliff along with the value of EVs in general.
I don't talk stocks. Only Tesla's without them
Nokian sends you a free set of tires for this car and then you don't put them on before driving it back across the country 🤣 classic out of spec move
Dave they lowered the price to 99 dollars a month for FSD
Yup! That is a good deal
Surprised you charged up to 100% and left your X sit overnight at that SOC. Best practice is to charge up to 90%, then top off to 100% via your app as soon as you wake up in the morning.
You are 100% right. As I mentioned on another comment reply, I was tired and this is not best practice. I should have showcased the right thing to do as you point out. However, I didn't. You got me! Thanks for watching! :)
Auto pilot jail? Maybe that tissue or paper above the rear view mirror
FYI Kearney = carney 😊
oops
Who got the most "FSD Jail time" ?
Model X does not charge that great under 10%.
This is another reason to listen to your wife 😉
Really don't understand why Tesla owners poo poo the "phantom braking" bugaboo. ONCE in a car ownership tenure would be too much for me - not how few times I might experience it during a trip.
Interesting that you call your X a truck.
Ya I shouldn’t do that Kathy keeps telling me not to :)
#1:GREAT VIDEO! #2:re FSD:I think it would be great on long roadtrips, also locally if possible. However like regular driving, you need to PAY ATTENTION at all times! As for Cathy’s loving to drive…good for her! Another thing is that I wish the 3 and Y had the instrument panel in front of the driver. Are you listening Elon?? Great videos! Keep up the good work!
You don’t even have a turn signal stalk, is this some kind of cruel joke?
Every month you get a new EV. You guys including your son must be wealthy.
In all seriousness your comment to avoid Tesla’s driving around with FSD is very misleading… V12 is way way safer than any human driver. Please take the time to review it in person
I have since done exactly that. Videos coming. Things are moving in the right direction.
