Tesla Model Y - Coast to Coast Camp Mode Road Trip 6,250 Miles Part 1

- If there is one thing I love about our Tesla Model Y, it is road trips! I can't get enough road trips in our Tesla, and even better, I love road tripping with my mattress so I can utilize camp mode instead of hotels.
Our trusty 2021 Tesla Model Y LR AWD has been perfect during our ownership, and taking road trips in this thing takes no thought at all. Now for preplanning, I do utilize abetterrouteplanner.com to outline the trip and get a feel for areas of opportunity. Once I get in the car and actually start the trip, I just use the on board navigation and make adjustments as I see fit.
Part 1 of this epic coast to coast trip is taking our Tesla Model Y from Orlando to Phoenix, staying half a day there, then Phoenix to Las Vegas for a full day there. Finally, the trip is wrapped up with a jump from Las Vegas to San Luis Obispo, which is centered between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The whole purpose of this trip is to road trip to the annual Tesla Takeover event.
Tesla Takeover, hosted by Tesla Owners Club Silicon Valley, is the largest EV gathering of the year. This is not just a Tesla event as we see all types of EV's attend. There are vendors showing off their new products, companies highlighting their kickstarter ideas and major companies highlighting their new products. RV's, 2 seaters, Drones, E-Bikes, the list goes on and on. If you have not attended the annual event, you have to put it on your calendar for next year!

Hard boiled eggs are a road trip staple. Filling, tasty and nutritious. They keep long enough for week-long road trip. We'll generally eat lunch out of the car and finding something interesting for dinner. Skip breakfast and intermittent fast.
Since he had a refrigerator he could’ve taken lunch meat, bread, cheese, and pre packaged salads. This would’ve been better than taking Mountain Dew
Another fun long range road trip. I love how easy Tesla makes it not just with the superchargers, but also Autopilot doing the boring mundane interstate driving. Makes it a little less stressful, and gives you a little time to do some slight sightseeing that normally would be difficult/impossible in almost any other car.
love it
Wow fell in love with this trip you took. I think the Model Y will be my next car I own.
Love taking these road trips with you. A lot of memories for me seeing some of the roads I used to drive. x from New Zealand.
Thanks for coming along for the ride!
Thanks for sharing your trips. It encourages.
Thanks for watching!
MAN! Thank you so much for sharing! This is honestly a super cool video. I can't wait to do a long trip with my family in our model 3 :)
You will love it!
I love a road trip ! Let’s go !
Me too!
Enjoyed watching
cheers
I really enjoy your videos I’m awaiting the delivery of my model Y in the coming weeks here in nj . Your insight and experience with teslas helps me get my mind set ready . I’m going to need it to road trip for work driving throughout the northeast .
Awesome! Thank you!
Now...more Tesla owners will do long trips with their Tesla...great video...thanks Mr. Bearded Tesla Guy
You bet
Great work, looking forward to doing kind of the same trips in my Model 3 in Australia once we get a couple more Superchargers in the more remote places
You’ll love it!
@1:10:40 LOL! that mega charger is the bomb!
haha...IYKYK
Finally watched the entire video. Great content! You are a beast for doing this trip!
Did you mainly drive on AP? It looked so to me.
Yea, autopilot for basically all the time I’m on highway, and manual when getting off to go to superchargers
Just watched the race back from Vegas and now this... Now I really wanna road trip out west
Beautiful out here!
@@vegasteslafamily oh it definitely is. It’s been too long since I’ve driven out that way
So worth it!
When it comes to a cross country road trip, I often drive from San Diego to Miami or Key West, when packing, use your note pad on your phone and write it down while it’s fresh in your head and before you leave, check this note and check them off as you go.
Yea, I should, but I dont make the time to write everything down...
On our long roads trips in our MYP, we find a specific cafe or a restaurant (because we are picky) and make sure we have enough charge to get there and then some more to head to the closest charger. And yes we order ahead so we can eat while we charge. We just avoid the 72kWH chargers. And this strategy has worked out well for couple a thousand mile road trips.
yea, probably a good idea.
I use to forget something here or there. Since I have Alexa, I just say...Alexa add this to my Vacation, Shopping, Road Trip list. It stays on the list and I refer to it when I do those trips the next time.
It's usually me and my wife and she use to be a chef so she likes to make food sometimes. But that might be the thing to do is bring tuna salad, chicken salad, bread or tortillas, shredded lettuce, shredded or slice cheese, diced or tomato slices, pre-made salads and other items you can keep in the travel cooler.
Subway is my go to spot. It's decent food and a little easier on my system vs. fast food etc.
I hate fast food these days. Since the new year, I have really stayed away from greasy food and when I have it, it just does not set well.
Food is an especially difficult challenge for my wife, who had dietary restrictions. We have found the most efficient option for us is to get food to go before arriving at the supercharger. Then eat while charging. It's often the only way we can get something she can eat. On a few(very few) occasions we have arranged to have food delivered to the supercharger.
Yep, thats about the only way to get options.
I was on part of your journey back in April. I drove RT from Saint Helens, OR to Phoenix, through Reno both ways. Hit both Kingman and Wickenburg superchargers. Have the Route 66 photo as well. Yea, it's a thing.
Fun times!
I totally understand what you said about not good places to get food when going on a roadtrip.
What my wife and I usually do when going on long roadtrips is to pack some frozen meals or she cooks something and we freeze them for our trip. We have those small portable heaters which we use to heat our food when we know we are around 1 hr away from lunch/dinner. It works quite well and since we are usually 3/4 days on the road, we don't have to pack that much since we can buy the same food before heading back home at any local store.
For breakfast, we pack coffee, yogurt, bread, ham, etc and she makes the breakfast while charging.
Yea, ive started seeing people packing portable cookers.
That construction noise at 6am in the Bellagio is crazy, would def not be happy about that.
sucked lol
justin for future reference the Plaza Hotel has several ev stalls free for guests . i stayed overnight once and kept it plugged in all night. throttled it way back to keep juice flowing and AC on :)
Nice tip thanks for sharing
Great video! Quick question. How much did you pay for all the superchargers? And what do you think was your mph avg? And how much autopilot did you use?
For food, I like to look ahead and order takeout at a place that is on the way to the supercharger. That way, I’m not stuck to whatever is at the charger.
At most, it’s only a few minutes out of the way, and I can eat while I charge.
I need to start doing this I think
@@BeardedTeslaGuy with chargers at the end of town when you have to drive thru the town anyway, you’ll have so many more options!
Marvelous. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)
Cheers
I wish Vion would come up with a blackout solution for the rear window of the Model 3. I have their roof insert already, but that final gap at the bottom needs a solution for concealed car camping.
Great video!
Interesting, I didn't know there was an issue for the Model 3.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy They have the panel to cover the entire window for sleeping in the Model Y, but the Model 3 doesn’t have one. The only one I’m finding (anywhere online) is the rear roof cover, and it only goes down to just below were the roof tint stops on the back window. That leaves that window open to peepers and light when car camping. If I want to block it completely for security, I have to use my backup front windshield cover to block that window out.
I think it could be solved with another piece, which would clip like the roof covers, but be like a puzzle piece that fits into that lower curve of the cover, and goes all the way to the deck for the rear window. Then you could remove the lower one, and still have the roof one for driving.
I hope that helps with a visual since I can’t post a photo here.
Enjoy watching all your videos! We are having a big Tesla Meet at the service center in St. Pete tonight it would be awesome if you could make it!
Why didn't I see this earlier?!?! dang man, sorry I missed it
Great Vid , Ty brother . But in my 17 Prius Prime I can easily go 400 miles @ 75 mph, use 8 gallons of gas for $20 -$25 ( $3.25 past prices , currently $2.85 at 11-6-23 ).
Love Teslas Infotainment , Love Elons Free Speech Policies , Will get a Y prob when Solid State batteries come out . Thank You .
@4:20 Pilots, doctors and engineers use checklists. Hard to forget to bring it if it is on your checklist.
I dont like the logic...it makes too much sense to make a list and I dont want to do it!
Having apples, and mixed unsalted nuts from Costco are good road trip food options.
Yea, I’m experimenting with new food ideas for road trips
❤
Ayyyyyoooo i live down the street from the charging station in deming
Thanks for the videos! Did you have any phantom breaking on this trip and if so, how many times? Keep up the good work!
It was honestly the best road trip I’ve had since early 2021 in regards to phantom braking. That said, the most common was due to passing a semi. It’s really gone backwards
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Thanks. Do you have a count to share? Also, do you have a video example of the semi passing you and phantom braking happening?
THANKS BEARDED, FOR SHARING…🤷♂️ HAVE YOU EVER SEEN 👀 THE NICE SUPER CHARGERS ON THE OHIO TURNPIKE 🤗👍💚💚💚
I have not lol
@@BeardedTeslaGuy so I take it you always taken the more southern routes 😊
I bring egg salad in half pitas in ziplocks. Plus chicken pitas for the first 2 days. No refrig. Water only in gallons and a small bottle no refrig needed. Walmart has 30oz coleslaw for $4. No refrig.
Nice
Watching your videos makes me realize one obvious true game-changer. Your road trips are dictated by charging stations. You spend too much time being distracted by station to station. I know that you’re explaining things, but the major difference between gas and electric is the constant stops and downtime to charge.
Huge deal-breaker for electric cars.
Thanks for these Tesla Camping/Roadtrip vids! Percentage-wise, how often were you using Autopilot? Currently looking for a roadtrip vehicle that has the best lane centering/adaptive cruise. Thanks!
If I was on the highway, Autopilot was on. Call it 99% of the time since I am sure there was a moment or 2 where it wasn't.
When I do my nomad travel by Tesla in a few years I will be avoiding the Deep South during the summer. It gets hot and humid in the Midwest but my average for my Model Y is only 236 kW for the last 40,000 miles.
I assume you meant wh/mi. If so that’s better than the rated efficiency, so your average speed would have to be significantly lower than highway speeds loo
these video are very interesting. But please make it longer (2,3-4h). Big support from North Macedonia
Cheers
The only issue I have with my Y is the creeks and squeaks in the interior. Tesla build quality is meh, but the driving experience is awesome. Made two big road trips in it so far and had 0 issues.
Mechanically pretty solid. Some build quality improvements could be done. That said, I dont have rattles in our Y.
@BeardedTeslaGuy I've had horrible luck. Model 3 was a rattler, and both my Model Ys. But, right now, you can't beat Tesla in the EV market. And hopefully the new model 3 is a good sign to come in terms of build quality.
The best part about the bearded one's road trips is his Chillout Lounge and Chillhop music. As far as the road trips themselves, no way I'd put that kind of mileage on a car I owned... electric or gas. Just rent a ride!
Life has to be lived, and in my live, it’s to the beat of chill
Kingman is in the Route 66 song. Listen to the Nat King Cole version.
Lol I don’t know why I seem to be the only person who knows nothing about this lol
Nice video, I’m not sure I would want to rack up so many miles on my own. I’ve done some long trips in my youth, but not sure I could manage more than about 12 hours of actual driving now. Maybe Autopilot would make a difference?
Autopilot makes ALL the difference. Takes a lot of the "work" out of driving.
I find heavy rain impacts range that Teslas cannot account for.
Yea rain, wind will have an impact
What impact do you think the cooler had on your energy usage?
May try putting a wet rag on charger handle when super hot? Out of Spec Kyle does this. May help.
It works for sure
How much did you spend in total, at the super chargers? If you don’t mind sharing.
The heat in Texas in the summers is crazy, Arizona even more. I don't know how people live there year round, the summers just seem like they would be miserable. 91F at 4am!
It’s a dry heat!
I was interested in getting a MYP, but it seems like evs are horrible for long trips. You waste 30 mins or more every 100 or so miles. Seems like it adds up to a bunch of unnecessary time to get to your destination compared to ICE where you spend 5 mins or less at a gas station to fill up and go.
It's a downside BUT really only significant for trips 500+ miles. How often do you drive that far?...many start considering flying at that point. Also a 500-600 mile trip might be 10 hours ICE but takes usayne an extra 2 hours in our Tesla. Say you do that 4 times a year that's 8 hours. BUT since we fill up every night at home we never have to do the 10-15min reroute to gas up every week so save about 8 hours. See what I mean? Plus we like the forced stretch/walk time on long road trips anyway
@ Katy TX Bucees , why didnt you charge while in camp mode while you slept ?
cross country race tesla vs Subaru outback ... who gets there first and by how much. Maine to Florida to California to Washington and back to Maine.
You probably already know this, but one thing I noticed that could probably shave a bit of time off your trips, is that you could plug in the vehicle and then immediately start filming your update and plan for the next leg of the trip. It seems like this might save you a few minutes at each stop.
Indeed it would, but at some point it reset the last stretch data so I stopped doing that. So many software changes since then, so maybe I can start doing that
I'm watching this in pieces. I admire you're being able to drive over 1,000 miles in a day and plowing through. I just did a weekend 1800 mile trip and about 880 in one day but I was super exhausted at the end. I did it in a Model Y with heavy use of the sexy button's function of jogging the cruise setpoint up and down so I didn't have to hold the wheel for extended stretches. It made it much easier. Did you have anxiety about the lack of a spare? I bought a compressor with me just in case. Is there a link to the mattress here? Thanks
Yea so I have a tool kit I bring with me, which includes a tire repair kit. For the mattress, you will go to Formytesla.com and use code BTGSIM to save a few bucks. Next shipment is supposed to be ready to go soon.
I’d like to hear about the tool kit!
Liquid courage isn’t Red Bull 😆
lol, its a family channel!
I wonder how it would be to drive that in an Aptera? I guess I'll just have to wait for my Aptera.😂
You’ll just have to wait
I think about it all the time. I don’t know which version you are getting, but mine will be the 600 miles version.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Since you have a fridge. You can buy at home all the healthy food you need for the trip and stop by farmers market or a grocery store instead of eating at whatever is at the Superchargers. Besides the grapes, not a very healthy choice for snacks and drinks that you picked. I know it’s hard to pick good food instead of process foods if that’s what you are use to.
Im waiting for mine as well 🙂
i wish Tesla added a max pack option to any configuration in the model Y. it would be amazing to have a model y performance with 400 miles of range
There’s not enough room in the Model Y for that large of a battery, at least not until battery densities increase. It’s possible the next gen Model Y may be more efficient, so that could get it closer, but even so it wouldn’t have that kind of range on road-trip driving like this.
How’d you get a free room at the Bellagio?!
Didn't know ICE cars caught fire 😁
Right?!
Do you use FSD all the time on a rode trip? I like your Tesla tent.
I use non-Beta FSD 99% of the time on the highway
That’s ALOT of really long stops. Definitely makes it clear Tesla is not best for long road trips unless you really like taking your time with MANY stops.
I admit I haven't read these comments, but do you use recirculation for the AC instead of trying to cool the hot outside air? This should be more efficient battery wise.
Yea I keep it on auto which cycles between circulate and fresh air
Hey justin. What’s the MagSafe charging accessory that you have mounted?
amzn.to/3YCheXb
No pic of the Globe?
Unbelievable I know! I ended up losing track of time in my room editing and when I took a break, I wandered through the Casino for an hour and a half, then back to editing before bed.
you should also do a cost of the road trip. how much supercharger cost, or would cost.
I get asked this question every time, and the answer is always that because of referral miles I can't see the cost unfortunately
just your total kWh you used X about 0.38 per KWH. and you get a number that is pretty close. @@BeardedTeslaGuy
What’s the model for the Ninebot scooter you brought along for the trip?
amzn.to/3KDJ2EI
Question, why do you charge to like 85% but it says by the next charge you will be like 10% but only 100 miles? Was it just because you were going fast and it was hot?
Fast and temps all play a role
If it hasn't been mentioned already, can you include the price of what the charging cost you? Thx
With free supercharging unfortunately I cannot see what it would have cost for the trip.
Nice, how did you manage that? @@BeardedTeslaGuy
What brand is the phone holder on your screen. The link in the description is broken
The link seems to work fine for me
Did you consider carrying a spare on your trip?
No
Next time you drive on I15 from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, count the burnt spots on the side of the road (both directions). There are a whole bunch. That's how many cars catch on fire each year most likely while driving in the summer heat. I know that there are road signs that warn people to turn off their AC to avoid overheating. Prior to my Tesla, I used to turn off the AC on any uphill drive and turn it back on on the down slope. I did this even in brand new cars so as not to shorten the life of the motor or even worse, catch on fire. New cars burn too.
Sheesh
Interesting video from a real world range perspective. Essentially a MY cannot realistically do more than 180 miles on a single charge... that's way way less than EPA advertised.
At 70 mph, my test yielded 270 miles. At 80, it’s closer to 200-210 at 100%
Thanks for the info. However, I own two MY LR (2021 and 2023) in FL and could never get that mileage even at chill mode driving around 70mph. Maybe ~200 miles I can probably get it if I take the battery down to single digits, which is probably too stressful to do. Do you think tire pressure matters at all? I run mine at 45 PSI. @@BeardedTeslaGuy
Sold my 21 for a new 23 4680 model y. Build quality is night and day. Road trip time even though it has 279 mi max compared to 330 in negligible which is surprising
Branden Flasch has been tearing up the country in a 4680 making videos lately. He's almost got me convinced to get one as opposed to the Long Range that I'm saving for. Almost.
Yea it’s 50 miles which is huge, but you are likely going to stop at the same superchargers, you’ll just be there longer
What do you do if you need to go for a piss in the middle of the night? Personally I prefer road-trips in a Camper Van.
I just keep these in the car for long road trips just in case there’s no facilities OUMEE 24/20/12/8 Pack Disposable... www.amazon.com/dp/B09XM83RWZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Lol ok
What’s the point of driving fast if you have to stop and recharge more.
The speed in which it is slower to travel long distance is higher than any speed I’ve traveled. You will always get there faster driving faster and charging more. You cannot overcome the speed difference
Enjoyed the video. Any way when you pan the camera you could slow down. Hard to track visually that fast watching a video.
thanks for the suggestion, will work on it on future videos.
Few things: 1. as an Iowan, I represent that comment. 2. My wife thinks you are "silly" for leaving after 10am AND forgetting something on a huge trip. 3. does just 3 grapes really hold you over? 4. why not pack a sammy in that cooler if you like Subway on trips?
lol, great questions and inputs! Tell your wife that yes, it is indeed silly to leave after 10am AND forget anything, let alone something important. 3 grapes for sure dont hold me over, but I didn't think several minutes of video watching me eat grapes would be entertaining. I am continuing to "perfect" a road trip food system. Next time I may bring bread, deli meat from the store and stuff like that. Sandwiches always work best for me on road trips.
Naaa they responded back and said the shipment was on his way with and I requested a tracking # and they didn’t respond…. It’s been now three weeks and no respond!
I understand why that’s frustrating. They are not scamming you, they just suck at responding to customer requests it seems.
BTG, did you forget to pack extra socks?
Nope
I’m not understanding the charging technique here you never charged over the low 80% range I don’t understand why wouldn’t you go to 100% each time?
charging from 10-80% takes like 25 minutes. 80-100% takes 30 minutes...staying at the bottom half of the pack is way faster to travel
@@BeardedTeslaGuy oh, OK thank you for explaining I’m in the process of buying a Tesla in the next few weeks. Super excited but very nervous. Your video is awesome.
"Do you think that's a good idea?" LOL...... Every married man understands that question.....well, ALMOST every married man......
I mean, why ask if I think it's a good idea?
Dude bring some sandwiches or sandwich making on the road, cold cuts, bread, mayo, mustard, lettuce you have a refrigerator....
I’m simpler than that. Turkey and Cheese. That’s it
My overall go to favorite is frozen lasagne cooked up in induction range top with induction ready cast iron pan; as its very nutritious and cost effective as well as quite satisfying taste wise especially when served with some fresh stir fried vegetables.
This guy recommended a link to buy some wheel caps and I got scammed!
you didn't get scammed. You were spam messaging me and haven't had a chance to get back to you. It is most likely that the company is off due to Chinese New Year, their response time is unacceptable for customer inquiries, I agree, but they didn't scam you. Your stuff will be coming soon. They sell out frequently
:)
Cheers
Beaumont,Tx is pronounced “Bow - Mont” & NOT “Bay - Mont”
I’m from Texas so I had to correct you lol.
Ok lol
Why does everyone drive 10 mph over the speed limit? This shortens the range.
Because it’s faster 🤷♂️
@BeardedTeslaGuy it decreases range
Plew
It's pronounced "Ioway"" Louisiana. And also pronounced "Bomont" Texas
Sorry
Not Banging on you, just trying to help. These Cajuns down here spell and pronounce things a lot differently.@@BeardedTeslaGuy
Yikes it would be hell having to stop so often for 30+ min at a time to charge, Ill take a hybrid or gas lol
Did I charge for 30 minutes? Most stops are like 20/25 minutes. In and out
Once you said camping in car instead of a hotel, I lost interest. Anyone who can afford a Tesla, surely can afford a $90/night room with bathroom, shower, and comfortable bed.
Missing the point. Probably good you moved on, this video isn’t for you
Best personal customized space with air conditioned room and view of the great outdoors is through ones panoramic glass roof with one's personal cooler refrigerator filled up generously with fifty pounds of freshly restocked refrigerated food at all times to eat from all night long.
$140 grand a month? That is 1.6 million a year. I’m throwing the BS flag on that dude.
He’s joking lol
Woke EVs. Boycott them all
Best road trip cars I’ve ever owned. By far.
The best thing about EVs is people just randomly say the WEIRDEST shit, just out of nowhere. It's better than stand up comedy. Cheaper too.
You are greatly outnumbered with your opinions about EV ownership 😊
this guy is so woke he's anti woke
On the contrary, some anti-woke are actually with EVs. Woke ppl usually don't have money to buy a Tesla lol
How much did it cost in super charging total? Thanks
Dont know, its all referral miles so I dont get a look at what the cost would have been.
We went through El Paso several weeks ago on a long road trip and were stunned by the lack of super charging infrastructure. We were also disappointed in Deming New Mexico last year when we found out there’s only one version 2 site. It would be nice if they added onto the same site with an equal number of version three stalls. There is a big dead spot in the south east area of New Mexico, where there are several interesting/fun things to do like Carlsbad Caverns, and the town of Ruidoso New Mexico. Very little charging infrastructure up there. Hopefully they will fix that soon.
There are stretches mostly in the southwest where accommodations are less but don’t expect every sc to be super.
Yea, there is only 1 V3 in that whole corridor now. Which is an improvement from none...
One can always extend the EV range available on ones Tesla Model Y via a pocket electric generator inverter that is nice and ultra quiet as well as ultra compact enough to be able to put in ones front trunk along with a five gallon gas can; the added extension in EV range miles from just one five gallon can will enable one to quite easily and readily travel at least one entire state's length; along with supplying oneself 110V outlet portable continuous power to one's notebook computer, portable continuous power to one's starlink mobile internet connection, continuous power to one's portable camping and portable work lights at night, one's portable power for one's induction cooktop range for cooking, one's continuous power for one's portable refrigerator, one's continuous power for one's portable samsung phone and portable samsung tablet; one's continuous power for one's 32 inch LCD external computer monitor; for even when one is remote camping far away from any 110V electric power; the cost savings on a long cross distance cross country sightseeing trip would enable one to save money on hotel accommodations, having to buy into overly expensive highway hotel and/or overly expensive highway restaurant food would easily save oneself at least $150 per travel photographic cross country road tour sightseeing day on average; so if one were to do a 10,000 mile around the perimeter of united states cross country travel sightseeing road tour while on the road while using both dslr camera and also the effective use of gopro camera in combination with the use of aerial video drone camera work; one could get all of these one time upfront very high cost expense fully paid up front from these savings; plus at the same time make ones travel photographic cross country sightseeing road tour a very highly memorable one that one can personally collect and archive one's photographic and videography footage of one's travel blog cross country sightseeing road tour adventure; as this makes a whole lot of sense since one can quite literally go effectively car camping even in the most remote of wildest of places for quite literally weeks at a time to safely and effectively capture and archive one's own personal road tour sightseeing photographic adventures in a way that one has never done so previously ever before and one can even do this with two people to make it an even more rich travel adventure filled road tour sightseeing photographic experience to mutually hopefully savor doing together
