There's a new Cannonball record! 

You should ask Google how many lives you are putting at risk with your pointless stunt. You should be in jail.

Love the future

Lol facts

Rented car and wheels? Good story but nerdy weak

Nerdiest way to break the law I've ever heard of in my life🤣

It'd probably take a week or so with all the breakdowns

I dont even think he would get out of his own state without being noticed and ultimately pulled over. How far can one get in a fast flashy loud and most desirable sportscar vehicle.

@@diavoloucraino Exactly... If the machine can finish it, ill be amazed.

That would be the most uncomfortable trip ever.

Actually they are fairly reliable cars.

Once someone make an ev with batteries that can he swapped in a few minutes there will probably be an outright record

@@cheesecurd100s I was thinking the same thing. a 23.xx time won't be possible until we can drop charging times to be comparable to refueling a standard car.

All it takes is some way to get the car to take a charge while driving and then have a way to either mount or tow a gas powered generator as a range extender. I don’t know if it’s possible without blowing up the battery though…

@BuddyHandsome Absolutely. I regularly commute from NJ to CT and occasionally take the Cross Bronx Expressway, a 6 mile stretch of highway that is usually perpetually congested. Except for late March of 2020 (when the Cannonball record was set) when I set an unbeatable personal record of 5 minutes 50 seconds to cross, a blistering average speed of 59.45 mph. Usually it would take me 30-45 minutes minimum to transit the Cross Bronx.

@BuddyHandsome Bingo. There was a perfect storm of empty cities, clear highways, and police officers handling pandemic response and staying off the interstates.

Not to mention a brand new 100k model s lol

Why would it be trashed? As long as he doesn’t crash it, that few thousand miles will be just like any other few thousand miles.

@@juzoli driving over a hundred basically racing and running the battery down to nothing repeatedly is not a walk in the park for a car. He only told them he was driving to ny and back, not doing a time trial. I think they claim it doesn't hurt the battery to run it that low but I'm not so sure about that. Like everything it has a lifespan, and heavy duty use will shorten it. Not to mention every other drivetrain and suspension component. Theres a good reason why exotic car rental companies dont let you race their cars.

@@ctdieselnut How many times he drives down the battery? Less then 10 times? Not a lot. Over its lifetime it will happen a lot more with normal driving, while it is not even claimed to be damaging the car… He DID tell the owner what he is doing. He was clear that it will be a fast drive, and they agreed on it, including a fair price for this. Exotic car rentals will not allow you to race it because it often results in a crash, not because of the wear and tear.

So not even a week ago?

And he wears creepy yellow aviator sunglasses like Jeffrey Dahmer. Somethings off about Alex Roy for sure

Your assessment is correct.

Look up definition of stroke. Yep, he’s the poster child.

Great story. Super clickbaity title tho

Yeah but he set his record in a beautiful e39 M5

@@ctdieselnut driver training in NA is insufficient. Improper lane usage is dangerous yet you only hear about speed being a problem here.

I think 40 hours is doable. But, given just how far traditional Cannonball has come, something tells me people aren’t going to stop until they push it under 36.

Till you get the closeup and bam what a forehead

Maul palker

i have a lot of overseas friends that are shocked how bad our infrastructure is, in regards to the electrical grid. we cant even keep up with heaters or air conditioners properly, how are we to keep up with added demand? well, until we put the time and money into it, we will be far behind the rest of the developed world. again.

Seeing as hyperinflation is taking hold, change that “trillions” to “trillions of quadrillions”.

There were similar challenges with the mass adoption of air conditioners, but our utilities were mostly able to cope with that. So I have confidence that in the next couple decades as EVs are adopted (despite some growing pains) the grid will be able to support the EVs.

Full conversion to EV's would require about a 30% increase in grid capacity. Very doable over a decade. The US spends about a trillion dollars a year on petroleum fuels for motor vehicles. As that money starts to transition over to the grid there would be plenty of money to support this shift.

@@nicknick9081

Yes.

You are correct certainly there is a optimum point of speed vs charge, tesla with all their data must allready know. For us its difficult to obtain enough data to find the perfect speed. Also the charging capabilities are the most important factor for EV long-distance driving. 250 kW is good (1000 km/h) but there are now 360 kW but not even Porsche taycan can utilize more than 260 kW...yet. the first car than can charge at 350+ kW for more than a few minutes will take the record. The best would be to ad and modify the battery system to use 2 different chargers simultaneously basically doubling up the battery packs much like the extra gas tanks but much less convenient. That way 2 chargers if cables long enough park in between get 250*2= 500 kW then it starts to get real interesting.

That's like asking if hiking is difficult because its not sprinting.

@@theguythatcouldfly Safe to assume you’ve never done a cannonball

No. The best EV run is almost double a car. Which makes it double as lame.

It's not road cycling. The real enemy is police and traffic; fatigue? you can always swap drivers like in any endurance race.

@@shikamaru281281 double a car would be 51 hours, its already 10 hrs lower than that, and 10 hrs faster than my record in 2017. Soon EV times will slip down into the 30s...

a lightweight lupo sounds terrifying at 170

@@williamw3559 a friend of mine has a 300+ Bhp diesel lupo. Would be amazing for long distance at speed I would of thought. Scary yes but surely we'll suited with lightness big power, diesel economy and range on its side.

@@CommerEileen yeah tuned engine for 24h+ at WOT idk about that, bmw 550d/340d or Panamera diesel would be better choice for high speed stability and comfort

@@kayak1995 the Vw Pd130/50 is a pretty solid unit. Even if your sitting at 3-4k for long periods of time it will last. The major problems come when you push the internals past 300 bhp. 250-260 is a safe limit for it. Water meth is also a good idea if you have the bottle in the front where it an be topped up whilst driving but then I'd say its not essential.

@@kayak1995 plus a 530d or a panamera will use more fuel for more cylinders. A light car at 3k rpm over 4 cylinders will use less than a heavy bmw at 3k rpm with 6 cylinders to feed.

Not possible

Tesla is the only one that's manufacture locked. From here on out basically everything else in the US will be CSS. Newer Tesls can charge via VSS with an adapter (analogous to Apple Lightning with USB-C). So what you really need is more third party chargers.

We've had a charging standard for a long time. Only Tesla doesn't follow it. Any other EV will charge with CCS. Some EVs and PHEVs older than around 2017 will have CHAdeMO, but I have never seen a charging station that didn't have CCS and CHAdeMO. PHEVs generally can't DC fast charge, so they have the top part of the CCS plug only. This part is known as J1772, which both Tesla and everyone else support. Though you will not be charging a PHEV on a road trip, but rather only at a place like a mall which you'd expect to be at for a couple hours. In Europe, Tesla is forced to use CCS like everyone else is, though only Teslas can access the Supercharger network, just like here. That said, there are several different sizes of fuel nozzles even in the US, and they're not generally compatible. A semi truck diesel nozzle will not fit in a passenger vehicle diesel filler. A gasoline nozzle will fit in most diesel fillers, though. And a passenger diesel nozzle doesn't fit in a gasoline filler most of the time. Weird fuels like E85 and >93 octane also frequently use a different size nozzle, meaning that some cars that take E85 have to have an adapter so the E85 nozzle will insert. Some older cars and motorcycles aren't compatible with "enhanced vapor recovery" nozzles as used in California and other states and require the user to hold the nozzle just right to get it to pump. I would say that EV charging and gas station fueling standards are just about as universal. Think about Teslas as diesels in that analogy.

why would he keep the wheels and rims, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a use for them

@@stratis722 Keep them for when his own new Tesla is finally delivered, so he can make another run in that one.

coming from a person who never tried it

That's a neat idea.

Yes this is true. Will be cool to watch over the decade the EV record fall over and over.

Gas is like 26 hrs

There is a ~17 hour difference between the fastest EV and fastest ICE cannonball runs. ( I think its actually like closer to like 16 hours and 40ish minutes) Amazingly if you even go back to like the 2006 ICE record and compare this run and that one the difference is only 11 hours. The ICE record has improved a lot since then with tons of planning and modifying of vehicles. Who knows how much the EV record can drop with efficiency improvements or other stuff people haven't even thought of yet.

Wait that’s illegal

Evija would be horrible as it's not designed for long distance. Rimac would be about the same Taycan 4S. Which is way faster than you realistically want to do.

The real problem would be the charging network. Those 3rd party charging stations are garbage.

@@k3an-official Exactly, seems on purpose.

EVs are a bit upside down in a sense, that larger battery packs give you both more power, and more range. So the fastest cars go the furthest. (Not exactly, but that’s the general trend)

I was thinking a generator but unsure if you could charge while driving without causing battery damage.

@@alabama_dawg7396 you can't charge quick enough with a generator for it to matter

No problem dude. Trailer battery would be on an A/B switch. I used to have an awesome Radio Shack nearby and we could have wired it up!

comes down to gearing

?

Electronically limited

You think so? What about suspension? Those are heavy cars.

It's still 30 minutes to an hour stop times if you think of them like filling up your gas car. EV roadtripping is just different, and if you don't own one, and don't have cheap charging at home, you don't really get it. I know I didn't until we got one. It's not filling up the tank, the goal is just charge it up enough to get home or to your hotel where you have low speed charging. That's the only place you fill it up past ~60%.

Yeah, you're definitely still going to have to plan out your route in advance, to maximize your chances of finding ANY charging stations. That's still the biggest problems with EVs at the moment: not the cars themselves, but the infrastructure around them. That said, if more gas stations put charging stations up in the corner of their lots...and why not? Pretty sure they already have 240v (and possibly even 480v three-phase!) for their pumps...

I'd be half tempted to make a run in my old C10 set up a big tank in the back cause most people don't expect a old truck to be moving fast, plus I'd get to open her up for real

How do u even sign up to run one?

@@aneto2794 You don't sign up. You go do your run, make sure to accurately record everything or your run is null and void(see solo mustang guy). Prove you did it and get added to the list.

@@freighter1097 oh good to know

Even the other cannon ball run in Gas Cars is not a great experience. It's an endurance fatiguing process. You don't do this to stay awake.

I'm with you.

Add me as well.

I was thinking about that and did some math on it. I don't remember the numbers exactly, but the moral of the story was a generator small enough to fit in a short pickup bed wont make a big enough difference to be worth while. As in, a 10 kw generator only adds a few miles charge per hr. You're underestimating just how much power the charger stations put out to charge quickly. It's a lot. Unless you get some monster heavy diesel genset it doesn't make sense, and then theres still a tradeoff of all the extra weight. Ps, a kilowatt is 1000 watts. Most small portable gas ones you see are at most 10kw. Not 4000 kw like you said, which would be 4 million watts lol.

Not just a little, a lot. Tesla has proved that being fast isnt everything. Theyre boring af.

There are likely more than 100mi between charging stations, going across the Midwest. You'd have to arrange charging at people's 240v outlets at their houses. Not saying it's impossible; just that you'd REALLY have to nail the pre-trip planning down to the absolute last inch.

LOL FAIL! It's already very close. The next generation BEV in the next handful of years will reach the US Average New Car price soon. That's Purchase price before you factor in the maintenance and fueling savings. BEVs are already great 2nd hand purchase between 3 to under a Decade old. Over a decade old you start into drive train health problems. Regardless a 5 year BEV will have plenty of life and at a great price.

@@Neojhun it will seem affordable to some. For many others, myself included, it is not.

@@jamesluke7377 That's impossible cater to. Sorry the BEV industry should not bother trying to cater to the lowest end of the market well bellow the average car price. There is not enough Supply Chain capacity to do that. Also i'm one who does not believe the entire Car market will be BEV. Max is around 70 to 80%

@@jamesluke7377 You are correct, especially considering that most people who buy cars do not buy them new. Nor will people sell electric cars cheap. Saying that they won't adhere to the cheapest of people, not to ignore the insurance, and them saying that it will be available for most people is inherently wrong. There are certain levels of price they won't go down to. So in the same belief, there will always be a large amount of people who can't afford it. I love electric cars, unless we mean F1, but let's not act like they are gonna be the most easily accessible to the average person like a used car

You can buy used ones in the teens. How much cheaper do you want?

No seb *sad F1 noises*

Most new luxury vehicles come with lane centering and TACC now. TBH it makes it safer and with how dangerous cannonballing already is, it doesn't make sense to discourage its use.

Is using cruise control cheating? What about filling the trunk with an extra gas tank?

for small cars or all kinds of vehicles? Why would you buy a combustion sedan if you can (in a decade or less) get a 500 mile range electric for 30k.

@@alexm566 where’s this 500mile range electric for $30k? You’re lucky to get 200 out of most BEV. The >400mile range Model S and Lucid Air are both over $100 k.

Very bad idea, big generator required to power a Cybertruck is really not meant to be operating while moving. Unless you use something exotic like Jet Airliner Auxiliary Power Unit.

I think... it will be an electric vehicle with a diesel generator.

I was thinking this Either a van with a diesel generator, or! A bank of Tesla batteries and just transfer charge via a cable. Re position the charging point to inside the car - cable passed through window via a stick/pole. .. Just the same a air to air refueling of military aircraft. Road to road charging..
