Thanks for Watching.

Love it when you turned the camera to your wife because she was diggin' in the chips. Lol
Hahaha. Ya that turned out pretty funny in the end.
Thanks for watching
pro tip : you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Miguel Raymond definitely, I've been using flixzone} for years myself =)
I am inspired to make a trip from Atlanta to Toronto!! Thanks for showing what to expect along the way.
Sharing is caring lol. Love these trips.
Hahaha. I know. (Check your text messages). I loved the trip too
Thanks for this video!
Thanks for watching
thanks Dax. im flying to Florida and driving my dads car back next week. this couldn’t have come at a better time for me.
Perfect. That’s exactly why I made the video. Have a safe trip.
We're kicking it down to Disneyworld ourselves in the ol' 2018 Model 3 Performance & will be mirroring a lot of the same stops you made - thanks kindly for this video Dax ☺
Have a fun but SAFE trip Jay. Let me know how it went when you get back.
Safe travels buddy.
Great road trip Dax. Just in time before covid lockdown i guess. This was in a SR+? Impressive. This gives me confidence i should be able to do road trips to NY well when things open up i guess.
Thanks. Ya it was right before the lockdowns. This was in a LR RWD model 3.
Excellent trip vid, Dax!
I'm mesmerized by Groot.
I do the same thing...I overcharge by 3-4%
Thanks Tesla Canuck.
Haha. I’m thinking of retiring him this summer
It’s always advisable, but the Tesla computer is amazingly accurate.
I am watching this in Oct 2022 and enjoyed your video and information. One thing it would have been nice to mention the interstates and roadways you took but overall good job.
Dax, Ty for sharing, looks like we are doing the trip next week, this will help set expectations.
Btw- what time of year did you go?
Thanks Julio. We went in mid February just before the pandemic hit.
Safe travels.
Thankfully you got there and back just before the chaos of the pandemic.
Hey dax quick question it’s almost 4am I’m really tired ! I really want to make the trip from Toronto to California and was wondering how much was it overall there and back ? Amazing video by the way !
good info Dax... thank you... did you feel any car skid on the road due to snow from Toronto to Newyork state?
No we didn’t have any traction issues in the snow. Even as cold as it was the car was solid. Amazing for a RWD car.
Nice video Dax. Question: How did you guys handle all the tolls on the way. I am planning the same trip this year, we live in Niagara, but I am kind of consuse about all the tolls transporders that will be necessary. Thanks in advantage!
Surprisingly we didn’t have a single toll (if I remember correctly). The GPS/route must have been set to avoid tolls.
@@DaxM well, this simplify a lot! Thanks Dax!
@@DaxMplease tell me the GPS name. I am moving to Atlanta from Canada Aug 24.
I noticed that Canadian drivers are the only drivers do the speed limit here at Buffalo
Hilarious-where you set your display to miles is right where I walk past, at about that same time of day, on certain days when I charge. Wouldn't it have been something to wave, "Oh, hi Dax & family!" . . . 😂
That would have been AWESOME!
Should have come to NYC
Hi is your car colour what comes from factory or you did wrap it if yes how much did it cost you ?
That was a stealth PPF wrap. It was approx $4,000 for the whole car.
what tesla model is this one? model 3? it looks slick af
and what camera are you using to the clip?
It’s a long range Model 3 and I used a GoPro
@@DaxM okay ty .. 4k is nice
In your title I think you should have mentioned TESLA trip. I Actually wanted to know Time and cost for Snowbirds.
I do look forward to the day when we get our first EV but battery tech is advancing so quickly I would want to wait a bit yet plus charge time and infrastructure needs to catch up first. It seems like too much planning to do a road trip in an EV presently.
You should come to NYC
I ❤️ NYC
I thought the border was closed in Feb. 2020 . How did you get across
I wasn’t. The border didn’t close until March. We did the trip just 2-3 weeks before the pandemic was announced. We were lucky.
Great vid! Did the car have winter tires or all season?
The car had winter tires on during the trip. I didn’t want to take the chance of rubbing into some snow throughout the northern states and not have good snow tires on.
@@DaxM I see you had michelin x-ice winter tires, how did they handle in florida? I have the same tires and going to florida next week.
@@DB-tk1lv they were totally fine. Didn’t even remember I had them on. XICE are really a great winter tire.
@@DaxM they are but I hear they become dangerous in the heat. So I was a little worried.
@@DB-tk1lv I never had a problem in the heat. Ya snow tires don’t have the same compound designed for warm weather, but with that said, I was fine in the highways in Florida and on the way back north. I think the important part is not to be driving at crazy speeds. Regular highway speeds were fine for me and my family.
SR+? LR AWD? LR RWD? LR Performance?
Also, would be super helpful if you used mileage instead of %! Thanks for the good video
I do mention the kms (mileage) used.
Martin Berntsen have you had a Tesla long? Because I couldn’t stand the ridiculously inaccurate range on the display and changed it to % of charge after just a couple of weeks. If I’m ever curious I just look at the energy screen’s projected range. It is much more accurate.
@@NoTimeForThatNow Yes, drove my S85 for 230 000 kilometers. The percentage is just so vague and boring to look at, and the predictions were perfect for me
Martin Berntsen maybe the fact that I drive mostly on the highways at high speed, limit is 65-70 mph, so 100-120kph? It may drain the battery faster that way. Do you drive on surface streets more often?
The area I live in only has about 50 - 80 kph speed, and I drive some in town. Very varied
What model Tesla his this
A Tesla Model 3
how was sheets?
Sheetz was awesome. Very good food, quick and very affordable. Didn’t get to try it until we drove home and forgot to film it.
Was this your first long road trip? Just asking because you said “range anxiety”
Hahaha. It was the longest, but we’ve been to Montreal (7 hrs), Ohio (5 hrs) and Ottawa (6 hrs) before.
DaxM I want to go back to Nashville and Kentucky. And we are planning on NewOrleans
We’re thinking of Tennessee. There’s a cool little place there called Gatlinburg.
DaxM we went to the JackDaniels tour. And some fun things in Kentucky. Some nice hidden gems.
@@markbsb7176 Last year we did Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans, Nashville and Dayton Ohio. 5200 Kms it was a great drive in the Model 3.
What model version
This is the Model 3 RWD Long range version.
Took a trip from NF USA to Toronto for the Auto Show. Was painfully surprised 300 mile range was more like 150 real world. We couldn't even make it round trip without stopping to charge.
While AP does make it much more enjoyable. I'm still convinced ICE has a huge advantage on trips especially in colder temps. Mercedes now has auto lane change, and Kia's lane centering and cruise is phenomenal. I'm starting to think AP is overrated just due to the name.
Glad you made it before they shut down!!
Hey Tony, thanks for your opinion. I agree somewhat. Ya, we were lucky to get in when we did. Please, be well.
@@DaxM looking forward to this health scare to be over so hopefully our NY TOC club can caravan up to meet with your chapter in the summer!
Tony C I hope it finishes soon too.
What Model Tesla
Tesla Model 3 LR RWD
I'm from lake Worth Florida
Just kidding! I am really from Michigan. I have family in Lake Worth, Florida. My mom and I drove to Florida last summer. It took us FOREVER to get back to Michigan!
8:39 your wife! you lucky man you!
The ICEHOLES, wouldn’t be a happy camper if an EV driver parked in a gas pump spot for 30 minutes before leaving.
Of course. That’s what makes this behaviour intolerable.
I was wondering why it was going to take you so long. Takes me 5 min to fill my tank with gas.
That’s too bad. Sorry to hear about your luck. Maybe one day you can get an electric car and enjoy the best trip ever. 🤷🏻♂️
{sarcasm}
@@DaxM although I see it poses some challenges and takes longer, it looks like you guys had a good trip still.
@@cforte0423 no challenges at all as long as you plan ahead and yes, we did have a great time. Doing it all over again in the summer.
Thanks for watching.
