Lucid Air Cannonball Record Attempt! Non-Stop EV Road Trip Across The USA From NYC to Los Angeles 

Did you figure out what was that "jolting" from Lucid?

Someone should spank the EA management for every faulty charger in US.

RUDE AF!

Definitely worth the listen. I learned quite a bit

Oyooo 3 hours Kyle! That'll be a marathon

Thought you were gonna say the F150 from New York :)

Could have made 1k though

@@davidbaker9943 nah, Kyle is not that stupid/idiot/crazy/frivolous

Tesla was the Winner of this story. You never think about, talk about or worry about charging. Just plug in….pee and go. Every time.

I qualify for 6 out of 7.

I watched the video over a week so not that bad atleast for me

Watching bolt EUVs charge at 350Kw stalls go past 80%...

……. My third time watching it

It only means one thing, you need an EV in your life.

Yes i agree with you. Alyssa so caring getting drinks and snacks for everyone. She is really not a big road tripper but did a great job.

That girl is always suuuper support. Amazing!

Well Kyle is now longer with Alyssa as he dumped her.

​@@GA-wq8xqlol.

@@GA-wq8xqThey broke up? There newest video shows otherwise?!

Would you buy a lucid air and review it for us.. love ur channel btw

@@phatdo8771 he did. This lucid is owned by his dad but kyle ponied up a few dollars so he could use it. This is the first of many times you’ll see it.

The guy that owns a channel called "what's inside" did a long drive like this and he was hospitalized for appendicitis as well....

Says the one who thinks Teslas are the only electric vehicles

​@@flamaest my appendix told me to f myself 3 years ago. My digestive health has been better since.

Thanks, Tom! 🎉

So cool for you and Greg to have helped out! SK Signet really screwed things up for the Out of Spec crew.

360p ftw, watching anyway!

Settling in for 3 hours of 360p!

Thought it was me thanks lol

Me too! By the time it finishes we might go up to 4k :)

The quality will improve?

OMG, that poor viewer had he ears humped by Kyle! 😂😂😂

🏆👍🔥

I don't know if I'd call a cannonball run "real world".

@@Mike.T. I mean the channel overall. But still people do cross country road trips and this will help them out in some ways I’m sure

Even with the Francis app downloaded and setup way more than 24 hours ahead of time and with some money put down it did not work for me. I had charged with Francis a year ago and it was working fine but their procedure is ridiculous. Called too, no help over the phone.

@@andyzegerman did you download their new app that old accounts don’t work on? 😅

Thanks dude! Really appreciate the help ⚡️

that was cool seeing you on camera!

And Polestar!

More like advertisement for the Tesla supercharger network 😅 The Lucid is nice though

@@Hellerup wrong the lucid won’t work any better on it. He already did a model 3 trip . Other cars can charge ok. It might be the 800 volt problem. You guys are too much Tesla fans without thinking about what was really going or didn’t watch the magic doc vid with lucid

There is nothing in this video that attracts me to anything dependent on EA. Total crapp

@@markfitzpatrick6692No, you didn’t get it. It’s like am advertisement for the Tesla network (riding a Tesla)

Plaid would dominate due to its charging infrastructure, especially on the northern route. Would definitely break the record, although I think a Model S long range would end up setting the same exact time anyways.

The Lucid can…the charging network really can’t.

Watch the Las Vegas runs. Spoiler alert: the Tesla wins because of the availability and reliability of the charger network.

It is easier when you make the car and the charger. Lucid only 50kw on magic dock. But the supercharger network started in. 2012. Ea 2018 I wouldn’t brag too much.

@@markfitzpatrick6692oh bragging is mandatory. The non-Supercharger charging experience is beyond god awful. Charging a Tesla- taking them on long distance road trips are a delight. People that have to use other charging means need to be aware of just HOW awful EA and others are compared to the average Supercharger experience. Now, on the same token- goto China and experience what they’ve doing with their charging infrastructure in only six years. In that time China has surpassed US charging infrastructure three-fold, and they all work. Likewise, because the infrastructure of so much more robust, EV adoption is substantially higher than in the US. It’s embarrassing actually- US politicians are arguing over whether or not a viable nationwide charging network is even possible- meanwhile in that time, China built a large viable charging network, surpassing the US not only in that area, but then in EV sales, and now surpassed the US in EV production. Americans need to demand better from their politicians, and need to stop voting for bullshit artists living in alternate reality. I love the “the grid can’t handle it!!”. An EV charging at home at MAX draw @ 240V is between 5,000 to 7,500 watts, and it drops off as the battery charges…. That’s a central AC unit, or heat pump worth of consumption. It’s all bullshit to keep that oil money coming; can’t claim something is not possible when a country with over a billion people accomplished it in six years… China did that with an electric grid in rural areas that’s so rudimentary, it’s silly. 1950s infrastructure- no smart grid in large swaths of China… smh. Meanwhile let’s continue to watch the US get left behind while our politicians whisper sweet nothings/lies into our collective consciousness.

Right now we know that the Model 3 LR AWD did a 42hr 17min run and the Porsche Taycan 4S is 44hr 26min. So the Model S would still smash the Lucid Air and the Porsche Taycan by a large margain. That is just down to the infrastructure.

​@@tanjiehjia I believe the current 42hr 17 mins record is held by a MSLR

@@tanjiehjiaThé 42 hour is a model S, model 3 is way slower

I think the next gen Ultium Bolt might just be the perfect vehicle to do the next attempt in

That's the real takeaway that the EV fans won't address. There are indeed advantages to the PHEV. I used to have a PHEV and miss some of the use cases compared to the full EVs I now have.

Only way to improve CCS is to use NACS and ditch that horrible charging plug and their networks
