Tesla Model 3 Performance - Is 1,000 Miles In One Day Possible?
Electric cars are great, but they suck on road trips, right? According to a poll on my channel, the majority of drivers don't want to drive more than 500 miles in a day. If I can drive double that, 1,000 miles, in a day, surely electric cars make a bit more sense for the masses than we might think? We'll look at how long it takes to drive 1,000 miles in a Tesla Model 3 Performance. We'll also cover how much time is spent driving versus charging, how many stops are required, how much energy is required, and how much it all costs.
We'll also look at why I've kept my Tesla Model 3 over the past couple years, looking at the unique features that set Tesla apart from the competition, but also cover the features that aren't great and hold the car back a bit.

The Tesla Giga Press will help Giga Berlin achieve record electric vehicle output, and is a key innovation in Elon Musk's arsenal for reducing the costs of the Model Y. The Giga Press is a high pressure aluminum die casting machine manufactured by an Italian company called Idra that has already made its way to every one of Tesla’s 4 Gigafactories worldwide. The Model Y casting machine offers 6000 tons of force, and Tesla has reportedly ordered an 8000 ton machine for the Cybertruck.Tesla Giga Press will CRUSH | TMIO Tesla | May 24, 2021 | YouTube
Downhill?
on a flatbed...
Wait’ll the electric car people get a load of animals on highways not hearing or seeing them...
Sure, if the electric car is towed.
It might be possible to have an E-card that can travel 1,000km. However, at least at current technological limits,you can’t have a car that will travel 1,000km and charge up in about 7-8 minutes, the time it takes to fill a diesel truck that will travel 1,000 km.

I can go ~1000 miles in 14 hours with a gas car. Tesla routes an EV taking 18 hours. That counts as well under a day.
I really don’t care

If you can’t imitate him, don’t copy him.
Little things are big.

The feeling’s mutual.
I’ll only drive gasoline cars for the rest of my life. No electric to travel for me. My dryer, yes, my auto, NO. My travel my choice.
I occasional need to go 800 mi in a day, towing a trailer with a total trailer weight of ~ 7,000 lb.
Will the Tesla truck do that? The new Lightning?
Of course it can. There are trucks specially designed to pull trailers with several cars on them.
Great list! Be wary of those who need such a list explained to them. Some public school are better than others.
I’m willing to do an e-bicycle. But not a car.
In a perfect world, no one is plugged into the charger ahead of him.
Otherwise its a two hour wait till its his turn
Ya it’s a car , just because it’s electric doesn’t make it special or amazing
