Long Day on the Road in my Tesla Model Y | S3:E31

In today's video I road trip 700 miles in my Tesla Model Y from Denver, CO to Des Moines, IA. Join me as I navigate the Supercharger network through Nebraska and Iowa and try to dodge incoming storms.

I think i want Bryan's Spotify playlist 🍻

When I visit my mom in Missouri I stop at the Shelby Supercharger. It’s a nice little facility.

[thenetworkarchitectchannel]

those tiny homes @8:47 looked cool. I-80 is a monster road. Mostly corn. Thx for the video. I enjoyed watching.

You need to drop your Spotify playlist 👌🏼

Is it normal for BFE stations to charge per minute instead of kWh? Over on the Best Coast, haven't seen that here. I noticed it at the first charging stop you were at.

[jimmienewton]

the other Supercharger in Lincoln is a 250 I think? and has a Runza!

[seniordockman]

Dows Iowa has a nice Tesla charging spot also. Right along I-35 before Clear Lake, Iowa. Used to live up there.

How did you figure out there was a charger at the other hotel? is there an app you use to identify such chargers? Thanks!

[seniordockman]

Do the Tesla destination chargers show up on the Tesla screen? I guess that I have not used one of those. Hilton hotels are installing them I guess.

[baldbikeboy]

I believe the owners of the hotel in Ogalalla are Tesla drivers.

If you start charging at a destination charger over night would you wake up in the middle of the night to move it off the charger or you would leave it on the charger?

Hi Bryan, I just read yesterday that the 2025 Tesla Juniper might get up to 500 miles in range. Is it time to upgrade next year?

[MechayaAlta]

Is that a roof shade you’re using in this video? Do you use it all the time now? Which brand and does it sag?

[christinaforsythe]

I feel like estimated arrival % is still getting the bugs worked out of it. It's more complex of a calculation for the car now (not just miles and altitude, like in 2019) - miles, altitude, weather, wind, traffic. I was hoping your trip would should a closer relationship between change in arrival % and Wh/mi used. I know I always add in a few % for my "driving dynamics". Looking forward to seeing more MN and that area of the country as you enjoy your summer. Are you heading to Canada? If you're thinking of Canadian trips, are you planning to go to Banff? I want to head back there and hike to the teahouses again!

[BABYALEXANDRO]

Hi Bryan, do you ask best western if you could use their destination charger or you just plug in and go to your La Quinta reservation .
For some reason I thought you had to stay at their hotel .

[BilalH.-qxxm]

You must have hit 50k miles by now. Hope you got all the warranty work completed before!

[JohnnyCruiser]

Under 300kw/mile is good since you have the cargo box on the back. Those superchargers on I-80 are old and slow

[greginland]

I noticed you used the pull in slot when changing….doesn’t etiquette dictate one should avoid if possible…for those pulling a boat or trailer ?

[Billyhime]

I keep ahold of my P85D because of the free charging. It’s just so slow to change though

[glennnagel]

The Nebraska supercharging rate structure is confusing. It is not presented in the typical price per KwH format. Rather, the price varies charging speed. That price range that showed up on your screen varies based on charging speed…so the higher rate when the charging is much faster (usually lower battery state of charge) and it gets cheaper by the minute as the charging slows down.

The rates at those Nebraska superchargers don’t vary by time of day…that chart just indicates how busy the supercharger is by hour.
