They will finish in a towtruck

😂

@@EvilJoshua umm no they won't; That is not a korean car. fooool

@@allentoyokawa9068 the problem is not the car is the lack of chamadeo chargers

with Mr. Truck, too! 🤠

Cool idea! They should try this. I’m curious what discharging to 5% on almost all trip legs and stopping charging at 50% every time possible would do, also seeking out 250 kW chargers as frequently as possible. Would also be cool if all three were vehicles were the RWD Model 3 Long Range models for max range in a Tesla. Or, switch to Model Y Long Range to have the Tesla model that most families would pick for a road trip.

Yes a lot better than Roman’s complaining.

Exactly.

This is also why all those Flipper Zeros can open the charger port

Oh wow what a difference that makes! (sarcasm)

@@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell it actually does, if you ever owned a Tesla, you'd understand.

@officialyasir exactly, if you don't you'd never understand that's why you get those ridiculous comments. ☝️🙄

Faster, sure. But most people don't do cannonball runs because going without breaks and bathroom breaks is insane. More efficient?? 😂 Not even close. Model 3 gets over 130 MPGe.

literally twice as slow as ICE. "not bad" only if you have a life with no value.

@@HAHA.GoodMeme "literally twice as slow as ICE." That can't be true. They said 19 stops, 30 minutes each that's 10 hours longer. "only if you have a life with no value." Well if you want to get there fast, by far the FASTEST way to go coast to coast is a 737. It's only a five or six hour ride. You couldn't pay me to do it over land. Even a maglev train craps out at around 375 mph, which would take 7.5 hours, over 40% longer. This is putting aside future developments such as the Boom Supersonic jet, which will go Mach 1.7 over water and Mach 0.96 over land. The 737 craps out at Mach 0.79. So the Boom Supersonic would cut the coast to coast time down to 3.5 hours. Then you have true supersonic over land, such as the Exosonic jet. They have a contract to make a supersonic Air Force One. They have a special aircraft shape that makes it so they can break the sound barrier with a barely audible boom that doesn't break any windows. So they could do it in 2.5 hours. And in the future you'll have point to point suborbital rockets, from Blue Origin and SpaceX, that can take off from the Mojave Air and Space Port and land in the ocean off the east coast about 10 minutes later. So yeah.....while electric adds a little bit to driving across country, it's a huge waste of time to do that, anyway. Driving is the slowest, stupidest way to cross the country.

Ionic 5 is junk

​@@allentoyokawa9068Wow, what a deep analysis. Great insightful comment.

turn around and go home with the tail between their legs muhahahahahaha

It's not worth turning off the A/C, it's incredibly efficient in a Tesla (or any EV for that matter) and only draws a few hundred watts at best in Auto mode. Looks like they used Auto and kept it around 70, you'd get maybe another mile or two, if that, by turning it off.

I live in El Paso and have made the drive from El Paso to Anaheim a few times. My best time has been just under 14 hours going a little above the speed limit.

Because of how fast the charging it's actually better to drive faster and charge more than it is to drive slower and attempt to charge less and deeper into the battery. There a reason if you look on ABRP they very rarely have you charging past 65/70% and going lower into the battery around 5/10%

@@67GreenBay then why every time I see any EV they’re always going old Prius slow

And the big savings come when you commute and charge at home (or even better free charging at work!)

Same with my Lexus Es350..that thing will cruise all day long at 80mph and get low 30mpg. You save zero by doing this in an EV. Just shows that EVs have a range limit economically...say 200 miles of your home or free chargers.

@@zachlafond2652 I suppose technically you save on oil changes/fluid changes with an EV. But yeah superchargers are around the price of gas for a ~35mpg vehicle. Charging at home or work is really where you save money.

For one, the superchargers don't bother with pay screens, credit card swipers, tap n go readers, etc. You simply plug in, the car identifies itself to the Tesla network, and the charging starts. A better question might be why are the other DC fast charging networks so unreliable and stay down for MONTHS at a time? Ford, GM and Rivian have already figured it out.

In a word: absolutely. I just did a big road trip from east coast, across empty land in Canada, to MN. Upshot: The Tesla public charging system is brilliant and flawless.

@@mowcowbell your more specific question is really the one I meant to ask.

Because Tesla monitors and maintains them. They knew from the beginning that a reliable charging network was the key to large scale adoption, so they invested in the maintenance and upkeep.

Yep. Tesla chargers do occasionally go down inop, but when they do, Tesla seems to have them back running within a day or so. Somehow EA managed to find a way to install hardware that just doesn't work. That includes the CC readers, which somehow work well literally everywhere else in society except when trying to pay for electric.

A car getting 30 mpg would cost less for gas @ $3.50 per gallon!

@@RichardinNC1 I don't know where you are getting your math from, but that's not right. In your example, an ICE car getting 30 mpg, traveling 2501 miles, and gas being $3.50,... it would be more expensive at $291.78 total. Now 32 mpg? That would rival the Tesla at $273.55. Negligible? Maybe,.. but Tesla's are awesome for roadtriping due to the safety features, autopiolot, sound system, and comfort.

😅😂😊

I keep a dewalt air compressor in my trunk. As long as it's not a complete blowout, I can fill it up, drive a little ways and repeat until I get to a tire shop. I do have a spare, but it takes so much space. I really wish they could have made the under-trunk area a bit bigger. My last 1000+ mile trip I decided to get new tires a little early. I probably had 5-10k miles left on the OEMs, but felt safer with fresh tires and left the spare at home.

They have owned so many Teslas and still haven't figured out the charge port door. It's mind boggling

I thought of that too, but as a rule chargers are unattended, that would be difficult to maintain. Besides out of the last 10 times Ive looked for squeegees at gas stations (not Buc-ees never seen one), probably only 1 actually had them AND had some (useful) liquid in the bucket AND had paper towels.

@@natehill8069 There are an awful lot of things that we take at least a bit for granted at the tens of thousands of gas stations (where the average stop is
