Buying the Cheapest Model S 100D then Blasting Across the Country (Very Cold!)

Kyle went to Minnesota to pick up the cheapest Model S 100D in the country. He drove it in the blistering cold almost 30 hours straight through to New Hampshire to catch a flight just in time. Another typical Out of Spec Motoring EV road trip!

The Model S is a clean car (never been hit), has just over 50k miles, and every option except 21" wheels and was just about $60k. The dealership wrongly listed it as a 60D which is why we jumped on the deal.

For non-EV-owners: videos like this are just fun tests and have no relation to normal use. People often think charging an EV is the worst thing about them, but it's actually one of the best. I've owned a Model 3 for a year-and-a-half and have only ever used the 240v outlet in my garage. For the vast majority of people, stopping at a charger to charge would only happen a couple of times a year around holiday road trips. It's so rare that it's actually kind of a fun part of the road trip. I've used a Supercharger with a different Tesla, and it's a chance to rest your eyes, get lunch or a snack, check in with loved ones, or play a video game on the console.

Clicked on a random OOS motoring video and finally get to see you visit my hometown supercharger in Waterloo, super neat!

I recently got my first Tesla (2020 Model 3) and I am loving these road trip videos...glad I found this channel! Keep them coming. I have learned a lot watching these and look forward to my first real road trip!

Range mode significantly limits battery heating, which reduces your supercharging speeds on road trips. Best is to turn range mode off when you are road tripping. Range mode is good for a lot of short trips around town (like holiday shopping or running errands throughout the day) because it prevents energy from being wasted on battery heating.


With range mode off, you should see 120+ kW on that 100D up to about 50% state of charge.

Epic drive and strangely entertaining just watching you hop from charging station to charging station. Thanks for the excellent video!

Damn man what a deal. For a while I thought my first Tesla was gonna come from a dealer because of huge mistakes like this!

[cybrtrkguy]

I'm in love with these road trip videos-- as a road-trip-aholic myself, I love learning the nuances of supercharging on cross-country trips! I'll be doing the same soon!

I just bought my Porsche 996 a month ago from that same dealership. They get a lot of good trades and they want that floor space for their Jeep sales. Justin over there was awesome. I was even able to talk to the previous owner of my vehicle which sealed the deal. Plus the 6 grand I saved helped.
Good luck with the Tesla!

Shoutout from a Future Tesla Owner Native Rockford, IL Resident. hope your enjoyed your stop!

It looks like not going through Canada cost you about four hours. There's virtually no lines at the border in the morning hours, so it probably would have worked out fine even if they did have questions about the car. Good that you still made your flight though.

Best i found in the UK is £55, 000 ($73, 000) for nearly the same spec, what a steal you got! great video :)

I test drove that exact car! Surprised at how good of a deal it was

[xAgyex]

I need to start vlogging my trips like this.

A better route planner online makes trip planning a lot easier

Glad you made it, with the deal of the year. Thanks for the video.

Crazy, I saw your car charging in Utica. Great cold vid.

21:22  Regarding your heater;
One of the unique features in our Kia Niro which we love is a "Driver Only Mode" for the heater/air conditioner which is MUCH more effecient than trying to heat the entire cabin.
Another unique twist with the Niro is a 120 Volt outlet in the rear.  You might have just noticed a white vehicle with Christmas Lights on it's roof.  That was a Niro.

Not me watching these videos to cure my range anxiety knowing damn well I shouldn’t even be scared driving around my hometown when my battery drops from 80 to 79😫
