We discuss a 1700 km (1000+ mile) trip from Prince George, BC to Carstairs Alberta and back again. I drive a Tesla Model 3 (2020) Long-Range AWD
In the first 19 minutes, I discuss the route, how much charging was required, and some gorgeous pictures of the Canadian Rockies.
The rest of the video shows the road trip footage (GoPro Hero 7) from Valemount, BC to Jasper, AB then to Field, BC sped up 1000x

Interestingly Tesla will be releasing a new feature to pre-warm the battery for third party chargers which may have cut my charging times by 25%:

*UPDATE July 7, 2020 Mt Robson chargers are coming line (I will be testing with the contractor who installed them)

This should make the Jasper experience MUCH more pleasant and less time to charge!
Right near the end of the video, you can see fellow YouTuber Ariell Xavier Arevalo at the Field, BC charging station. Check out his channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2WXc8tt307AAf1v2qEwjA
