Melbourne to Sydney in a Tesla Model Y

Video Description

I recently drove up to Sydney with my Model Y. The idea behind this drive was to follow the nav of the car and use the Tesla Superchargers. My next video will be the drive back where I didn't use any of the Tesla Superchargers to see what the experience would be like for a non Tesla EV. Be sure to look out for that one.
