Really great to see an Australian road trip with a current standard Model Y. Clear and concise with relevant stats. And beautiful scenery. A pleasure to watch

[markumbers]

This is the stuff Aussies need. Now we know a fully loaded Model Y STD range gets about 350 klms at 110 kph on a full charge. There are all sorts of variables of course but this is a good benchmark for motorway driving. Well done. Just for your information I did a return trip in a Model 3 from Canberra to Bega a couple of years back. It was powered by Canberra solar and Cooma Hydro which was cool. The trip up and down the Brown Mountain was interesting. It is an 8 klm drop of about 800 metres. On the way down it added 20 kilometres of range and going up it used 40 kilometres of range. A distance of 16 kilometres at a net loss of only 4 klms of range. Regenerative braking is amazing.

We did our first road trip in our 2022 Y RWD blue from Brisbane to south of Sydney. It was a breeze, zero range issues. We planned it casually online before hand but changed plans a few times with zero issues. We even skipped the final charge recommendation and got home with 17% (Tesla charger version 3 at home), it got back to 100% easily before we drove it again the next day.

Thanks for a nice video and interesting to see scenes from "the other side" of the world. And as a Swede I appreciate to hear and see everything in kilometers. There are many other good video makers but most of them are from GB or US and miles are a struggle when trying to understand distance, speed and efficiency. And also thanks for so generously sharing your spreadsheet. I will use it when I start to drive fully electric soon. Now I am "only" hybrid driving because I have a company car, but in about a year I will be a "Tesla-boy" too. Australia is on my bucket list so to see how EV driving works in your enormous country is interesting.

Did this same trip both ways in a BYD Atto3 LR. On the return SY-CB (uphill +700m) recharged to 92% at Campbelltown on the outskirts of SY using a free charge.

Enroute the range indicator showed we could easily make the Canberra airport charger so drove non-stop. Arrived at Canberra Airport with 18% (about 80km).

Not to cut things too fine, after 15min charge (to 30%) at the EVie charger, went home for a slow overnight charge.

The return trip was easily done in one day without the need for enroute charging. Really no different to ICE except you need to know where to get charged at each end.

Free chargers are free but including billed power use the energy cost was about $12 on the CB-SY leg and $10 on the return leg. We spent more on coffee.

First time your channel has hit my suggestions, which as a 11yr EV driver is a surprise. Absolutely love it, subbed. Your spreadsheet and data focus is right up my street. Will be looking at your other videos now. Great work. Thanks (from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿)

Hi Tom,
Congrats on the new MY Performance.
You may know already but going down to Canberra gains altitude and obviously reverse on return.
We did another Sydney Northern Beaches to Canberra return trip in our Ioniq 5 RWD over Easter and results were consistent with a year ago i.e going down used around 78% due to altitude gain while on return only 68%. Around 320km each way. Did involve a few minor detours in both directions but while on highway we were driving at max speed limit.
You can watch the efficiency drop significantly when increasing speed from 100 to 110!
Did not recharge en route as visiting relatives so just plugged in granny charger during our 6 day stay

1:43 Nice trip review Tom, it looks like the cat stowed away for the journey to Canberra 😆

[wolframdressler]

this was super useful! Very well done.

[PCLoadLetter]

If stopping at Sutton Forest/Exeter, why not do the 100 metre detour to maccas on the Sutton Forest side (i.e. the northbound side)? Even if you don't charge there for the purposes of your test drive, it's nice to see 4 chargers in the background, and usually at least 3 of them work. If you just want a little bit of power to get around once you arrive in Canberra, it's the best option.

Once the superchargers at Exeter (i.e. the southbound side) open, it'll be a short walk to the southbound Maccas. Though given how much of their limited space they're giving up, I'd rather have a pie. Plus I'm not sure anyone ever mows the ditch between the two, so there's a slight risk of snakes if you take the shortcut.

23:07 the Spreadsheet shows on line 7 that you used 16% of the battery doing just 26km, 26km is 16 miles.
This would suggest it was using 1% of the battery per mile, is this normal for town driving?

[extraordinarydave]

While on autopilot, if u aggressively scroll the speed adjustment, it matches the speed limit too. I experienced this when I rented one for a day.

[whatisanamelol]

I love this colour. Dep blue metallic yep? Great camera work

[moony]

Ooh nice to have planning from the app! Would have been useful when I had to try and explain tech to my parents from the backseat, they could have just handed me the phone instead. XD Although they got practice using the screen themselves so that was good. We've figured out the best way to use the screen is when there is a front passenger involved, preferably with some basic tech knowhow or experience so the driver doesn't have to take their eyes off the road.

Need to look into the subaccounts at some point next time I go road tripping with them since I can't just ask them for the keys when I want to grab something from the car anymore which was something I really didn't think about until I went road tripping with them and then they are fumbling trying to combat the glare on their phone. It's the little things that get you.

[Krixz_]

Loving the as delivered 2023 configuration information and 'how it works and looks in Australia' info. Well done 👌
They really need to step up their supercharging roll-out in au, wondering if they have regulatory road blocks/hard to find megawatt grid access points.

[brucelau]

Best ev related youtube channels in Australia ！

[alex]

Impressive it made it to Canberra Tom! I still cannot decide between rwd and dual motor now...

[smarshal]

Brilliant real life use. Extremely helpful.

[yobuddymr]

Hi Tom, great video!
I have a question about Tesla model Y RWD & BYD atto 3. Which one do you prefer for daily use?

[mattconstance]

Another great video. Doing my first test drive this weekend.
