Why do people always do the run West to East? It's 5000' downhill from Colorado to NY??
...Why do people always do the run West to East?...
The original Cannonball Run was actually East to WestWhy do people always do the run West to East? It's 5000' downhill from Colorado to NY??
It lasts for 52hrs means it's realiable?It is also a testimony to the reliability of the LRM3
Almost nonstop driving. Components heat up. Charge-drive-drain-charge rinse repeat with not even a minute for the components to cool down.It lasts for 52hrs means it's realiable?
No...that's next month.Did the car drive itself?
That's a pretty low bar you have for EV's if a 52hr trip without breaking down s considered a noteworthy accomplishment. I'd venture to guess that pretty much any new ICE car can do that today and no manufacturer would tout that as something special. Just my opinion.Almost nonstop driving. Components heat up. Charge-drive-drain-charge rinse repeat with not even a minute for the components to cool down.
Transcontinental Drivers Association's Facebook page took down the story.....sighting no evidence. Records like this require tons of evidence. Furthermore, it's not a cannonball record, unless it's from the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach Ca to Red Ball Garage in NYC. This Model 3 left from Manhattan Beach with would require it to be handicapped since their are less red lights to get to the freeway than Redondo Beach.
Our team holds the current Guinness Record for shortest charging time coast to coast, Deena and I hold the Double Transcontinental EV Record and we previously set the EV Cannonball record twice, as well as the first to set the semi autonomous EV record from LA to NYC. I know exactly how many charging stations it requires to get to NYC. The Model 3 drivers claim of 15 charging stations is mathematically impossible. Thats 5 less charging stations than the team that holds the record currently (Jordan Hart and Bradly D’Souza) in a Model S in July 2017.
I'm not saying the Model 3 driver didn't do it....I'm saying where is the evidence? Where is the "Truth in Journalism"? Journalists need to interview some people that currently hold the record, get some insight, and above all vet these stories before publishing them.

That's not accurate.... I set the new record a few months ago with Bradly D'Souza....U.S. Coast-To-Coast EV Record Broken By Mysterious Tesla Model 3
That's 30 minutes faster than the last Tesla record which was done by 2015 Model S at 51:47.
This time:
Tesla Model 3 from Manhattan Beach Pier, California to Manhattan, New York in 51:17.
I guess: smaller and lighter has its advantage.
That's not accurate...
