Team Food-150 Tightening (Wastebands)

You knew Dave would eat his way across the country. 😎

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree but Dave and Kyle prove that incorrect. Kyle is like "wrap the handle, pour water on it and let's go now now now!" and Dave's like "Hey waffles!"

It's funny that Kyle said I have to start getting in shape some time. Meanwhile his dad is hitting every junk food opportunity the whole way.

Like I said on my prior handicappings,' of the prior 2 videos, it's all about the CCS crapshoot. If the Silverado's team gets lucky and their 350kw chargers actually work, they should win. Otherwise the Cybertruck will take it. Although their decision to use V2's instead of charging longer on the V3 in Texas so they can get to the next V3 could cost them.

Not true about the Rivian, a couple of miles over from time to time is not cheating. Kyle cheated with traffic stopped at Buckees for him or the Silverado letting him know of traffic jams and he avoids the

@@GA-wq8xq The Silverado should not have been in any traffic jam. This is the 21st century with live traffic Google maps. There're 3 of them on each team, one needs to be map duty at all times.

But results are 1. Silverado 2 Cybertruk 3 Riv Riv 4 Lightning 03:38:00

48:20 was it really worth switching from 127 to 137kWh?

True said. In last both videos at the end I was like: Already! How will I wait one more week!

thatswoeafully news so you know

I miss when directors had budgets and CGI didn't enable them using the word "and" too many times when the stars say "why don't we add this"

thats good know

If only we had extended editions coming to Blu-Ray later.

The EV Diners channel. This will definitely be a thing in 5 or 6 years.

They did that already…this trip. 😂

The F stands for Food

They seemed the most comfortable during the trip.

@@johnfontaine2760 definitely the most laid back group

Yeah, what’s the hurry? Enjoy the trip. We consider it part of the vacation.

2 hours if you watch at 2X speed. I highly recommend it for future videos

Who does road trips they make airplanes

I watched every minute of each of these videos and have zero regrets! Fantastic KZfaq content!

omg during that final stretch when they were trying to make it to Dog Beach in one go and Kyle said "-3% arrival. We can work with that."🤣

Yeah that's just one of the joke deals in this whole thing another one is $285 mi range for 120 bucks and paying $50 to go 85 mi That's why I say they should tell the truth about their EVs they're expensive to buy expensive to drive and someone said well you don't need to drive one well yes the government's forcing them down our throat people better stop lying and wake up

109%

Rivian with the Tesla network would almost certainly win - especially with Kyle in there.

And no wet towels.

no way id buy one after this lol so i figured the opposite. imagine with hauling weight on a cold day

@@PazLeBon Definitely wouldn't wanna haul across the country with these - but short of that this wouldn't be a bad idea IMO.

But the power to overcome it is cubed.

And still getting lost or stranded! "You've got navigation to the nearest charger, May, wha' 'ave you done!?"

Hahahhaha I am afraid of travelling with Kyle 😅 dam.. but the result of the vids - gg

You should put on your caution lights to let them know to back off. And when they pass you, give em your brights.

just brake check em

@@PazLeBon Or deliberately wander off to the stone filled side of the road to test out their windscreen strength

i know that thats goood i dea so you know you geting sir

I agree, but their mission statement goes out the window when Kyle wants to win something.

I lost all respect for Kyle over this. Like everyone else on I-10 in the middle of nowhere doesn't need to charge just like they did?

@@ChrisBarnesXYZ Same story at 2h 10 into the video. Professional truckers are very switched on and would definitely realize someone's tailgating them this close. Not a fun experience for that guy. Imagine knowing if you have to break for whatever reason you will have a douchebag in your trailer.

It doesn't change a thing, there was no car waiting for a charge.

@@boostav good point. It would have been a major a-hole move if it made someone wait to charge

4 hours is a long time for just one part

@@GA-wq8xq This is the true Out of Spec style! It ain't for everyone, but I enjoyed every second of this video.

Hollywood jus fk it up

I would have been so annoyed with Dave, it was a RACE, not a restaurant tour.

Team Blind Pig

Prety much all of them worked...

To Chili’s? To Texas Roadhouse?

​@@carlosl5766Kyle doesn't understand what is a road trip about while Dave does: it's all about experience about it, food being the first ingredient!

This video truly proves why EV's suck, compared to the I.C.E. Noticed they didn't mention the cost and total time of charging. I can almost guarantee it cost more than gasoline or diesel. Definitely not the future in vehicle propulsion.

Yup I definitely watched this whole thing at 2x speed. Thats how I watch all of their videos because they talk so slow

2x is a godsend

Dude get yourself an adblocker or buy KZfaq Premium if you want to support the creators. I can't imagine how painful it must have been to watch this video with ads, lol

@@michaelrichter2528 I read the comments during the ads

@@_cjmccullough No, you just have mental issues

Kyle has done it in a model 3 and a Porsche taycan 2 years ago with drew Tjmen across route 80/90from New York to la. And the lucid in the New York to la via 80 to route 70 thu Ohio Indiana with Alyssa drew tjman and her sister or most in the polestar 1 and lucid

Yeah and if they'd had any balls they would have included a couple gas-powered vehicles but they didn't want to get showed up you noticed they're not telling us how much this trip cost per charge and total charges across the country probably two or three times what a gas-powered vehicle would have taken for money and a hell of a lot longer

@@glenmurra3856 I don't think anyone doubts a gas vehicle would probably leave them in the dust. But this isn't a gas car channel. I'm sure you can find plenty of other videos out there of gas vehicles, since they've been a thing forever. There is 0 reason to come to this SPECIFIC channel which is about EVs to harp on this. Shame on you.

​@@glenmurra3856Yeah, comparison to ICE would have been great. But only if they included all the relevant data. Like, how much each contributed to climate change, and how much it would contribute going forward as the grid goes mostly renewable. And then convert that into an estimate of how much time each vehicle chopped off the distance between now and when your great grandkids start going hungry due to crop failures. And then last but not least, how much the bill would be to try and deal with the effects of that amount of climate change.

Well I feel sorry for you people One doesn't like that I replied something on a EV channel when they're trying to make EVs look like the best thing since sliced bread what's their not and then we have another one that's obviously a tree hugger and believes in climate change and global warming which there is not I'm 67 years old everything that's going on right now with the weather I have seen before it's nothing new it's been here before it's going to be here again Don't buy into the communist Democrats BS but I know that's going to ruffle some of your tree huggers feathers so I'll put it this way when it comes to having to have power turned off because we don't have enough because of the idiots buying these electric vehicles and our government shutting down power plants that they shouldn't be Make sure you're at the head of the list to have the power turned off to your house because I want mine another words put your money where your mouth is turn the lights off at your house first and turn it off for your crappy electric vehicles​@@davidmenasco5743

Just 4 hours. A short video. 🤣 Greetings from Germany.

you telly me

Glad everyone made it (eventually) and happy to welcome you all to San Diego 🎉

howow thats need so you know

thats cool by the way

Everyone but Team Lightning was hangry

Maybe next races include a gas comparison as a benchmark. As chargers and efficiency get better, you will see lead in gas slowly vanish.

yeah, they were basically tied until the end, if the Cybertruck had enough power, it would have been so close, they basically were even with barely a 5 minute lead, good job to both teams that give it their all

If this was a normal road trip, it would have finished way in front. They were eeking out everything out of the Cybertruck

@@danielzhang1916 I like that the Silverado won. Gm gets too much bashing from people and the cyber truck still needs work

yeah the Silverado and Cybertruck were basically tied until the end, if the Cybertruck had enough power, this would have been a different story, it's crazy they were basically even with just a 5 minute lead

The cold rag actually helps protect the handle as it doesn't have any cooling like the cable. They should have been using ice on the rag to really help it.

@@junehanzawa5165 it just tricks the sensor, which is there for safety reasons

@thelegendaryfk7922 The sensor is watching for overheating. If you keep the handle cooled, the sensor knows the handle is not in danger. Therefore, you're helping the handle stay cooled, which is best for longevity. Has nothing to do with tricking any sensor. Anyone who says that, including any of these drivers, doesn't understand how it works.

@@junehanzawa5165 the only one who doesn't understand how it works is you and everyone who does this, as you said, the handle has no cooling, the rag is only cooling the outside of the handle, the inside is still getting stupid hot (you know, the part where all the actually important stuff is), only now the sensor doesn't know this is happening, and just lets the charger overheat and kill itself because it thinks it's fine when it is in fact very much not in any way shape or form. i hope tesla sends people like you the repair bill for these things

@mysteryboyee This doesn't even deserve a reply because you're clearly one of those incapable of understanding why we don't fall off from the bottom of a round planet. But here goes for those that do. The Tesla V3 handles have 2 sensors. One for the exterior to prevent it from getting too hot to handle (a lesson learned from V1's) and a second for the interior metal pins. If you only cooled the exterior, the interior sensor would still cut down the amperage (which causes the heat) if the interior of the handle gets too hot. So when you use an exterior cooling source that doesn't cool the interior, the interior sensor will still bring down the power. The only way the interior sensor won't bring the power down is ONLY if an exterior source is keeping BOTH the exterior AND the INTERIOR cooled below each of their heat thresholds. There is NO TRICKING THE SENSORS. The sensors don't have a heat sensor for themselves. They only measure the INTERIOR and exterior temperatures of the handle. If the interior of the handle is not kept cooled below its threshold, the INTERIOR sensor will bring down the power. So yes, a wet (preferably cold) rag helps protect the handle for as long as it can keep it below a certain temperature. As soon as that wet rag effectiveness is gone, the sensors bring down the amps. That's why it only helps for a few minutes.

EPIC

yeah, this was an infrastructure failure, it's crazy that they were basically tied until the end, if the Cybertruck had enough power, it would have been so close, but the Silverado had the bigger battery and pulled it off to win

@@danielzhang1916 It's not just the bigger battery. The fact that the Cybertruck couldn't charge past 30% in order to maintain the same average charging speed as the Silverado EV maintains to ~60% put the Cybertruck at a serious disadvantage. That means the Cybertruck needs to make four times as many charging stops just to hope to keep up, and any charging past 30%-40% or reduced power from the charger pretty much negates that. If Team Silverado didn't have such a sub par experience with the public chargers themselves, they would have finished a couple hours ahead. So no, not "just a big battery."

@@newscoulomb3705 yeah I know, the Cybertruck had a disadvantage from the beginning, they had to keep pulling over

​@newscoulomb3705 - Tesla launched the Cybertruck with conservative charging speed. I guess to play it safe. They just announced today a 20% speed increase in charging for the cybertruck through a software update. My guess is they'll even increase it more thru another update at a later time.

@@ronin7645 Perhaps, but that would still leave it trailing the Silverado EV 3WT by a considerable margin. Even if, after the update, the Cybertruck could maintain the same average charging speed as the Silverado EV 3WT to 50% or even 60%, it would still need to make 50% more charging stops on a longer trip just to maintain parity. And that's the 3WT, not the big battery RST or 4WT, which average 250+ kW all the way to 70% to 80%. Also, as hobbled as the Silverado EV was by the public charging, the CT suffers even more on the Superchargers. Even with V3 operating at 100%, the CT can't charge at its fastest speeds, and it appears as though the CT will put a V3 cable into limp mode after only 10 minutes at full power. CT owners basically must use the public charging infrastructure if they hope to have any chance of reasonably matching the Silverado EV's charging and long trip capabilities. So again, at this point, it's more about these trucks exposing weaknesses in the charging infrastructure.

I just looked, didn’t realize it was that long, it went quickly.

Did you finish it?

@@rosetheblackcat yes

@@rosetheblackcat yup, an hour ago

@@rileygilles2736 you must have been waiting I respect your dedication

Each truck may have that feature

Yup! I rather do this trip in the super comfy Lightning

@@irfanhusein1445 mee too. Plus it has two glove boxes. And a table to eat from. What more would you want.

it's crazy that the 3 trucks were able to keep it close, if the Cybertruck had enough power, it would have been a different story in the end

That's a lot of cope, 5 hours longer is abysmal.

@@andrewashmore8000and you can cook pizza on the center console!

Yeah I agree, I would have liked to see a race in good faith, not pulling little tricks like that. Let's see how the infrastructure would actually work in real-life. When you inconvenience others just to win a contest, its pretty selfish.

If the charger is full somebody will try it anyway so all this pearl clutching is laughable.

Agreed. As an EV user it actually pissed me off. You aren't trying to get home to family you are doing a race with friends in this.... Kinda upsetting.

Normal people doing a road trip aren't trying to run their battery to 0 and plan their charging around actual breaks. By the end of the decade all of these DC fast chargers are going to be 350kw chargers and should have credit card terminals hopefully.

That seems unlikely; the battery is a long way from where they were cooling things down with the rag. The cars have bunches of temp sensors in the battery packs themselves and are more than capable of asking the charger to slow down if things aren't going well.

I'm pretty sure the temperature sensor is for the cable itself to prevent overheating of the connector.

I think it didn't matter until the last stretch, yeah they should have stayed a bit longer, then it would have been a different story, it's crazy that they were basically tied until the end with a 5 minute lead difference

@@danielzhang1916 The only way to find out is to have a race between 2 Cybertrucks like I just mentioned above.

I would've starved.
