1,000 Mile Road Trip in a Tesla Model 3 (UK)

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! 😄

[amrinobipit]

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

[EV-Diary]

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

[tonye]

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!

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

[nickman]

One of the better Tesla channels on YouTube great shots very clear voice perfect editing. This helps me fill the void of not owning a Tesla. 😁

When I order next month, I’ll definitely be using your referral link. Honestly the best produced and presented model 3 videos on YouTube 👍🏼

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.

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.

I think it is funny that UK english adopted the “frunk” portmanteau rather than “froot”

[agnivabanerjee]

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

Great video. My model 3 LR is coming on Wednesday, so this is giving me some last minute smugness 😂👍

22:06 if you made it this far?

I didnt even skipped once. Loved the video

[civgineer]

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.

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 :)

[JamiePursey]

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!

[abinjoseph]

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

[VibesEdits]

People have no idea how useful this little documentary is

[NickRoper]

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.

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.
