The truly incredible thing here is that if you ask Google how long it takes to drive from the Red Ball to Portofino, the answer is 42 hours. We just reached the point where it is possible to drive long distances in an EV as fast as the math says is possible in an ICE car.
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🤣
I’ll admit, you had me excited for an outright record. I’m still waiting for a 23:xx, I know it’s possible. But I’m glad records like this and people like this exist. I’m happy that the craft of Cannonball still exists with EVs, and that people are starting to treat it like a proper speedrun. I’m really excited to see where this goes.
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.
Still want to see a Countach do a cannonball. Even if it isn't a record, it will be an awesome run.
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.

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.
Last time I was this early, the Car Wizard's clients could be described like my ex-girlfriends: whole lotta crazy.

405 miles? Interesting. My Kia Forte GT Manual does 420 on a tank (on the highway, naturally). So that's certainly impressive for an EV.

I think electric attempts add some really interesting sets of complexities and benefits. Gotta go slow enough to save batteries so it is a bit more responsible of an attempt, gotta juggle charge stations, easier on your body because you get breaks during charging, countermeasures aren't as much of a factor, etc. Awesome job!

I hope they all explode! And then gas motors make a big come back
Very fast
@@mikedisalvo1479 far gone the gas engines

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.
Great story. The unspoken cost of EVs though is that our current power grid cannot handle an EV in every driveway. Trillions to spend for infrastructure improvements.
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
The fact that it beat a Taycan brings joy to the auto world. Next up, Plaid.

Is it really a cannonball if the fuel stops are long enough to take a nap? Fatigue is the boss fight of cannonball.
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...
ok maybe that's some of your secrets..but did you figure out the optimum speed to drive if you are stopping only at V3 superchargers?
it feels like with drag increasing and range decreasing, if you pass a certain speed, you're losing more time during charging stops than you are saving by driving faster ?
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.
Holy shit I thought that was Paul Walker in the thumbnail 😂
Till you get the closeup and bam what a forehead
Maul palker
I get on my soapbox about this on any video about EVs. We need a charging standard!!! This is not going to work if we have a patchwork of charging stations that only work with a particular manufacturer. ICE vehicles all have standardized fuel ports to enable them to utilize ANY fuel station in the country (possibly the world, I think they use the same standard everywhere). We NEED that for EV's.
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.
I've got an ambition in life to attempt it. I know exactly what I'd build.
Vw Lupo. Pd130 1.9Tdi Swapped with a long ratio FSM fabia Box.
15" audi pepper pots (lightest 15" oem vw wheels) 60 profile tyre. 260Bhp should be enough so you don't spend ridiculous on cams and Injectors.
Huge fuel cell in the boot that refills the original tank.
Fully stripped.
Will weigh next to nothing, box will top out at around 170 mph.
Will cost max £6-7 Gbp to build.
Is there a diesel record for Cannonball????
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.
So just so I get this right. The cannonball EV record has been set not the overall record?
Yes.
Trying for a round trip cannonball record only makes sense if you live near LA OR NYC. Electric cars are definitely going to be the average commuter car in another 10-20 years as long as battery advancements continue. I believe it will be at least 50 years for gas powered cars to be somewhat rare to see people using them as a daily driver. The best thing about the Cannonball is that it is only limited to who wants to try for the record, any vehicle you want to try it with is fine & there isn't any sanctioning body requiring you to get inspected, have special licenses to compete like most races require.
I thought it was Paul Walker in the thumbnail 😭😭😭 need to put on my glasses
I wonder what the "hyper EV cars" like the Rimac and Evija could do. Tires and charging infrastructure will probably negate any aero/rolling mass advantage.
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’ve heard the motorcycle record was broken too. Future episode?
Ah, you got me excited Ed
I was thinking modifications that could help increase efficiency/reduce charging time.
-slam the car
-perfectly flat undercarriage (I know it's almost flat stock but there still a bit that can be done and it's 100% invisible)
-wheel covers
-remove seats or any other weight saving
-narrower wheels/fuel efficient tires
then of course the single thing that would unlock completely next level record, would be battery swaps...but that's a huge thing to setup, you need a whole crew, lots of money...
its wild how good the battery tech is getting very quickly. i think most people still think a road trip in an ev means 30 minute to an hour stop times, but this guy was only stopped 16 minutes at a time. ill always love a good analog experience, but theres something incredible about putting your foot down and silently pulling a G in something thats big and comfortable and will go 100k miles with no maintenance aside from tires.
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%.
This guy looks like Paul Walker. When i saw him next to a tesla i tripped the f#c! out.
So there's a 20 hour time difference between EV's and gas vehicles?
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.
Was waiting for Tesla's Cannonball record for a long time
What if you had 10 aerodynamic battery trailers at planned intervals along the route and the only time you stopped was to swap trailers and do a wee?
That's a neat idea.
With the price of tires being about 1200 mounted and balanced and finding some rims around 800 for a set what are you saving renting and who would rent wheel and rims
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.
Congrats on setting the Cannonball record again. You really planned the trip well. It makes me feel better about electric vehicles. I was afraid 10 or 12 hour drives would be too much for them but that also depends on where you are going. When i travel lomd distances i go through the mountains of New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. I do not think there are many charging stations between Las Cruces and Amarillo, going up US 54.
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...
And this is literally the definition of going under the radar
Literally! Props to the entire team that made this happen🔥
As long as EVs can one day get somewhat close to the fueling time of a gas or diesel vehicle, I wouldn't mind. But I'll still have gas and diesel vehicles. Unless both fuels are banned in the US, which I extremely doubt.
"Co-pilot?" This guy has let the yoke get to his head.
I’m excited to see a Cannonball record beat using predominantly Autopilot
A bit out of text ,but the new tesla steering wheel is horrid
coming from a person who never tried it
it'll take expansion of fast charging infrastructure to beat this time. it'll happen, but this is an awesome record have held at this time.
Almost as fast as fast as gas. Only takes twice as long in an EV with 16 stops. How exciting!
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 would love to do a cannonball run attempt. Those gas prices tho for me is what kills it.
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
So my Chevy Spark EV Autocross car with maybe 82miles range and no DC Fast charge would leave me the absolute worst EV run ever and now I’m wanting to it even more. This is fantastic that EV runs are even a thing!
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.
Wait you can use auto pilot for a speed run? Wtf
Wait that’s illegal
This is a stupid question, but could you do better if you made strategic roll on ( pull on and park on) mobile charging stations?
Elon: Hold my beer *adds extra battery cells to a tesla and drives across country within 21 hours
Not possible
For a moment there, I thought that was Paul Walker on the thumbnail. xD
It's this simple... my Ford Mondeo ST220 which is a 3 liter V6 with six speed can do a 155MPH!... You would figure a Tesla with so much more torque could at least 200MPH.
comes down to gearing
?
Electronically limited
Well considering somebody converted a Tesla into a pickup truck, I could see the potential of putting a 3000 to 4000 kilowatt Recreational Vehicle generator in the back for charging/supplementing the batteries during the run instead of having to find places to stop and charge as often.
The only reason I say using a one that's converted into a pickup truck was because you don't want a running diesel or gasoline generator in the passenger compartment or even the trunk necessarily unless you had a guaranteed reliable way for it to get cooling airflow and avoid exhaust gasses from getting the cabin.
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.
I'm excited for the electrified future though I'm still gonna keep my ICE cars.
Someone should have an EV with a small trailer that has the battery pack from another EV in it as a range extender so you have double battery life and you can switch to using that battery pack when your cars range gets low.
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!
Perfect car for Canonball in a way , quiet, quick, comfortable and more or less blends into traffic
I once drove from seattle to southern ca in 18 hours. It was riveting and the nap in a hotel with cable tv was screamingly good
Using autopilot seems like cheating for a cannonball run because it’s an endurance run that puts the car and driver to its max limits. Autopilot reduces the fatigue since the driver doesn’t have to do as much as a driver without autopilot.
The British boys from Top Gear need to take this on or should i say grand tour
Doug is the kind of guy to… wait, wrong channel
As per 7:26, they used autopilot for a substantial amount of the journey. For this reason, I respectfully question the legitimacy of this run.
After all, the sum of all miles driven under human control is less than the distance of the entire route.
Perhaps there ought to be two electric vehicle canonball records: with autopilot and without autopilot.
Nicely done, Ryan. I was wondering when someone would do a Cannonball in a new S
Cannonballing in an electric car...snooze..
Awesome, congratulations.
Range anxiety must have hit hard at some points and reverse range anxiety as well (stressing on getting away from the charger as fast as possible with just enough charge to get to the next.
Tesla owners:
THIS VALIDATES US!
😂😂😂😂😂..no no it does not.
Seems to take a little bit of the fun out of it no? Haha, awesome job though👍🏾
Not just a little, a lot. Tesla has proved that being fast isnt everything. Theyre boring af.
So basically driving across country with the flow of traffic... sounds incredible.
Electric might be the future, but I just can't see combustion going away anytime before I die.

I disagree that EVs will be affordable enough for 100% of drivers will have one in the near future. Perhaps over a 20-50 year pace down the road, it may reach a 50-75% base of drivers.
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.

@@jamesluke7377 You are correct, especially considering that most people who buy cars do not buy them new. Nor will people sell electric cars cheap.

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.

That will not be a problem. OEM Stock BEVs will not be a threat to this record anytime soon. Heavily modified maybe.
Why can't yall make a squirrel cage fan to help charge the batteries!?!?!?
It could spin in the wind having to charge less!
Mark my words, the future runs will not be idle charging, but tow to Regen.
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..
I'm moving from SF to NYC. Gotta visit Redball in the spring n make the drive! ❤️😈
You rented tyres......????
I’m thinking EV’s are going to hit a major roadblock. The materials and pollution caused by the battery’s will eventually overwhelm the demand and petrol will still be king until a new technology is found.
Although EV is a separate category I feel like using Auto Pilot is an asterix in itself aswell .
It's just lane centering and TACC. Most cars over $40k come with those features, at least as optional. After seeing the insane mods some of the cannonballers have done, like nigh vision cameras, etc, it doesn't seem that extreme.
Isn't the idea that its supposed to be one driver doing it? His hope that everyone will have electric cars is a pipe dream. We don't have the grid and capacity to do that . Not even close right now.
How many times can a Tesla owner say Tesla while talking about their Tesla and Tesla Tesla Tesla Tesla
42 hours, 17 minutes... Why do we think electric is the future??
Cause it is Lmao
Bravo guys! Bravo.
9:48 Here's hoping the EPA doesn't make them outright illegal
What you need is a van running in front that you can draft behind!
If we go by Forza standards that invalidates the lap time 🤣🤣🤣
I think there should be separate run records for auto pilot vs non auto pilot runs.... in my mind using auto pilot 50% or more of the time is really kinda cheating you just get to sit back and relax going almost 100mph
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?
So how fast is estimate for a cyber truck with a generator in the back 🤔
Generator go brrr 😀
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.
