Hi Daren, I am interested to learn how you deal with the depressed feeling holding tsla this year and lost so many chances making $$ 😢
-
you should've done a video on sortimo zusmarshausen or hilden charging stations, they look amazing!

It's been a dream of mine to drive on the Autobahn when I found out they had sections where you an go as fast as you want. I still hope to do this before we have FSD (un supervised) in Europe. I better make my trip over there sooner rather than later because even driving your car yourself my be a thing of the past in our lifetime! So glad you are having so many incredible experiences while in Europe.

LOL... Daren, we call it a Forrest, not a Jungle ;) But happy you enjoyed your Time here !! Model 3 Priority was put there when they upgraded the Superchargers from old Type2 Plug (as you mentioned for old S&X) to CSS for Model 3 only - at first

Interesting video for me as German what impression visitors have 🙂 I drive a Model Y since a year and had EVs from VW and Hyundai before. My personal experience is that the Tesla Autopilot works very bad here in Germany compared to other cars. This Vision only idea from Elon was a bad decision, if you would have made a test drive with any other German car you would probably agree that they have much better driving assistent systems and are also better for high speed. I did buy Tesla here in Germany as it is cheap compared to other EVs, it is very energy efficient and has a lot of space for the family. But Tesla Autopilot is extremely dissapointing for me having had other cars before - hope we get soon the Autopilot version from USA that is working much better but will not so easy to get approval here in Europe.

very interesting and beautiful views! from your experience, are most of the supercharger stations this empty? seems very underutilised and maybe abit of a waste! what do you think?

Why didnt daren talk about the Tesla range? especially so in Germany autobahn where cruising can easily be anywhere from 140-160km/h. whats the real range of an EV at that speed? as someone who have done this roadtrip around Germany, Switzerland etc, i would imagine it would be a huge pain to have a "mandated break" every 300km or so. especially so on long distances + time based trips Doing a 500km trip took me about ~6 hours, 5-10 mins for to pee and refuel. Imagine doing that with an EV
