Sounds like the team didn't respect the correct start /stop destinations for the official record. As for proof, wouldn't Tesla have gobs of vehicle logistics?

Miles per hour charging depends on charging and vehicle efficiencies. Note that the Model 3 is based on the long-range version. I don't know which Model S and X they use. Model 3:
- is lighter (3814lb v 4850lb (100D))
- uses a permanent magnet motor v an induction motor
- has smaller wheels (18" v 19")
PS Chevy makes the Cruze and Corvette.
I think you are missing a major point that the Model 3 is smaller and weighs less which translates into greater efficiency. The Model S gets about 3 miles/KW and I would bet the model 3 is closer to 4/KW. So with 220V and 40 amps you are getting 10KW. So an hour of charging a Model S yields 30 miles and a Model 3 40 miles. A Roadster is even more efficient due to its small size as it gains 44 miles/hour on 40 amps.
Elevation of LA is 233' and NY 33', so that will make a miniscule difference. The winds, however, are significant, with the prevailing winds from West to East. I learned this the hard way on a bicycle trip from Chicago to SF fighting the wind nearly the whole time.Why do people always do the run West to East? It's 5000' downhill from Colorado to NY??
Now that I think back he may have said it was the software, but shouldn't a software update eliminate that? Or perhaps the DC equipment on older Model S was a little more robust so could handle longer charge times at higher speeds?Do you mean the onboard AC->DC chargers? Because they aren't used for Supercharging, which is DC current direct to the batteries, bypassing the chargers, so they should be of no consequence if doing a cross-country supercharger trip.
They don’t. The Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea STARTS at the Red Ball Garage. Let me know when someone posts a time for that.Why do people always do the run West to East? It's 5000' downhill from Colorado to NY??
All cars (except for maybe some 60 and 40 kWh battery cars) should be able to handle the full 120kW
Yup... pictures are posted in a few threads on the 'Pics of Production Model 3s' thread.
This shows pics of the car in LA and driving:

I have a 70, and I've definitely seen more than 100kW at a Supercharger. Is that what you mean?No, none of the "smaller" packs can handle 120kW. The 75kWh packs top out at about 96kW. (Having fewer cells and being lower voltage impacts their maximum charging speed.)

Total time: 50 hours, 16 minutes, 32 seconds
Total mileage: 2860 miles
Charging cost: $100.95
I want to hear about the flashing police lights when they got pulled over...
...This is even more amazing when you think of the reduced range due to the cold...
...There were very bundled up for cold in the vide.
Did they get pulled over?
