🍿Now that the High Mileage Model 3 is back from its trip to Hamilton, Ontario, 🇨🇦, let's break down the stats of the road trip. Winkler ➡️ Hamilton (🇨🇦 route) Distance: 2,357 km (1,465 miles) Total Charges: 24 Total Cost: $139.65 CAD ($102.47 USD) Hamilton ➡️ Winkler (🇺🇸 route) Distance: 2,260 km (1,404 miles) Total Charges: 13 Total Cost: $171.21 CAD ($125.62 USD) The trip was a success and the drive home was made much, much easier with the new LFP battery pack. The guys were able to take advantage of the faster charging while also being able to drive 75-80 mph as opposed to doing the Canadian route where the speed limit was limited to 55 mph for a large chunk of the drive due to that part of the Trans Canada being two lane highway. Full cost of repair work done to Model 3 along with Dan and Dusty's thoughts on their first EV road trip through some of the most challenging parts of the Trans Canada Highway are to come later this month in our battery swap YouTube video.

I gave @mylestoamillion the challenge of breaking my one day driving record of 1,730 km (1,075 miles) that I did last month. He did well and I know he doesn’t like to lose so I anticipate my record won’t last long…

Looks like @mylestoamillion is running out of real estate for state and provincial decals on the Road To a Million car. Door jambs and under the trunk next??

Brand new Model Y Performance in for Defense+ PPF this week

Construction is well underway on our new wrap bay at Drive Protected HQ. Can’t wait to show you once we are done!

First fast charge in the Lightning! Pulling 187kW at 53%.

Crazy to see just how much ground @mylestoamillion has covered in just six weeks… From Winkler to Dawson City, Yukon then down to Mile 0 of the Trans Canada highway in Victoria, BC then all the way to St. John’s, Newfoundland. And now down in Key West, Florida. Where next? Hint 🎶 🍕

After dropping a bunch of weight and dealing with a myriad of shoulder and pec issues I’m happy to see I can still push 315 on bench press

Day 1 of Lightning ownership. This 2025 Ford Lightning Flash in Antimatter Blue with the 131kWh battery pack is such an incredible daily driver so far. I needed a vehicle with more room and a box to haul stuff with. Super thankful for our local Ford dealer who took this truck on trade and instantly thought of me when finding its next owner. Also, huge thanks to @Mattlinn01 and @brandenflasch for answering the various Lightning ownership questions I had before pulling the trigger on this unit. Now the real question… do I level the front end and go crazy on the mods? It’s also going to get a complete colour change wrap once I land on a colour to wrap it.

Coming soon 👀

Supercharging at the Tesla charger in Kettleman City never disappoints

And that’s a wrap on the High Mileage Model 3 giveaway series! Took almost 3 months to get the car cleared through US customs and delivered to @reddypalaparthi in California. I hope this car treats you well, and can’t wait to hear about all the things you are going to do to it. For those that don’t know, he works for Tesla on their software development team and he plans to update the hardware system from HW 2.5 to HW 3 and run FSD V.14 Lite on his daily commute to the Bay Area.

Gonna miss this car.. 385,000 miles and drives better than most new cars. Our entire team at Drive Protected crushed this project. So proud of the entire team 👏

The Green Goblin High Mileage Model 3 has landed in California. Time to hand it off to the winner of our last giveaway!

Great time touring the @Tesla Fremont factory this morning with Dusty who is our in-house videographer at Drive Protected. After touring Giga Austin back in March it was super cool to see how Tesla took over a factory that was formerly home to GM and Toyota and turned it into what it is today! 📈 Also wild to hear how @elonmusk bought this property for $8/square foot 🤯🤯🤯 as the tour guide said “some of the cheapest real estate in the Bay Area”
