Tesla Road-trip review - continued
1. Steering: for god’s sake, Trust your tesla, I know I am a perfectionist and sometime second guessed the way Tesla drives on Autopilot, but leave the steering to her, this car is equipped with many cameras and will think twice before it makes a bad decision, but it will always do what’s safer, lane changing detection of incoming cars is so safe, you may find yourself thinking “I would have done it if i were you” but be thankful, the car prioritizes safety at all costs, also, feel free to be a little scared when going over a sharp highway turn haha, the Tesla does not brake but tries to maintains enough speed to stay on lane and sharp turn, which is not what I would do personally, but it will do it well, way better than I could
2. Your battery will restore some of its juice, thanks to regenerative braking, which by the way also happens on AP, this is a great mechanism for your overall range, if you want to restore a lot of your battdry juice, drive on the city, or drive slower, one time the car asked me to drive 55 miles to reach a 3 hours destination, I am sure it’s possible? But I didn’t, the speed limit was 75, so I took a supercharger half way
3. For those of you who will cheat using the ankle brace lol, keep that brace wrapped on either the left or right side of the upper part of the steering, the lower part does not always get accurate reading and may ask you to touch the wheel, next time I am adding both braces, since the amazon orders provides too, but yes the upper part of the steering wheel is spot on, and you may not touch the wheels for hours haha
4. Acceleration: it is recommended that you switch to chill mode on long roand trips, which is a slower pace for the car acceleration, but good for battery and range, you may switch back to standard on the city (at the end of your trip of course), I used that city driving advanotate to accelerate like a maniac haha, yes even 0 -60 in 4.8 secs, is very fast
5. Noise: I hope this is an issue that can be fixed by Tesla, but I read reports that Tesla noise reduction is not great, there are some kits that can reduce it but will not kill it
And that’s all for now!
hope you find some of this helpful, please feel free to share if I was wrong on some aspects, after all I am still learning
