You know who was the winner in this whole story? He lost no sleep Had no stress Didn't speed Didn't need to wait at chargers Wasn't disappointed at the end of the day Didn't try to break any records And made $500 for 5 minutes of work? The parking attendant of the garage
@@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.
Oh no! Not looking good for the record... a viewer started chatting with Kyle 😂 BTW. What a record attempt! Started off with one of the most expensive charging sessions, headwinds, Signet surges, Lucid jolting, hospital runs, 8 hour cofee runs, 24hr app approval timing, police chasing you, charging lines, and still huge smiles. Great job and while it was long, it was still fun to watch 😊
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.
This was the best 3 hours that I have ever spent. My friend and i just "cannonballed" it from CT to FL and back 2 weeks ago and this took me back to that. Nothing like driving all day and all night with friends. Cant wait for the next one!
3 years ago I leased a Tesla Model 3 Performance with the hope that after a 3 year lease there would be something else for me. I am too a road tripper (not a Cannon Baller). Your videos and ones specifically like this on your channel made it clear to me that there is no other choice than Tesla 3 years later. So I just took delivery of another M3P ... this time I just bought it. So ... let's hope 6 years from now I could have some choice.
Nobody does a road trip video like out of spec. The cannonball run adds a nice touch of drama. Good to see Alyssa too! Pls do this with a model s plaid!!!
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.
@@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
Audibly shouted "Wow that's so cool" when you mentioned your plan with the Polestar 1 b/c my head went to the same place during the last record attempt.
Wow cool to see Alyssa and her sister show up at hilliard ohio ev go . I use that one too. Evgo has been installing a lot of new delta units . I wish I could have met famous RUclipsrs .
Glad your Dad made it to NY. He was heading north when we were heading south to FL. Met him at Sheetz (NC?) when EA almost bricked his car. He wasn't sure if he could make it in time. For us, we're grateful he saved us from that wonky charger.
I was a valet at the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach! I loved seeing the cars come in who did the run. I’ve met some cool people, including the record EV run at the time in 2019 and some guys from the Cannonball memorial run
I’m glad I have a Tesla after watching the charging issues. I charge level 2 in my garage mostly but when I road trip I’m thankful for the Tesla SC network.
I'm loving this cannonball run. EA should run their own too but not at the speeds you are going, but at least to test random chargers on route so they can address all these issues. This is a fun episode to watch and thanks to OOSDave for his lucid. I wonder how a RWD Ioniq 6 would do on this Cannonball run.
I know you were excited to try this ever since the 70mph range test, and probably earlier. Very entertaining, as usual. Looking forward to the re-run when the charger issues are figured out!
Woooooooow couple of days ago I was checking your channel because I thought about the cannonball that you have made with Tesla couple years ago. And now with Lucid. What a perfect timing. Thanks!
Can't wait to watch the whole thing. I just did my first Lucid roadtrip from Phoenix to Denver and back. Fun to see you spending time at some of the same chargers I hit.
Fun video to watch and great job to all the crew. I know you didn’t break the record and disappointed in some of the charging infrastructure but on the positive side of things you were able to go coast to coast using the infancy of the non Tesla chargers. So it is possible to road trip coast to coast in a CCS vehicle and it will only get better, after all 50% of us won’t be cannonballing. Three cheers for Alyssa and Makayla.
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.
Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable cross country trip. As a Taycan owner, with the benefit of 36 months of EA charging, I am happy to see that my EA charging results are no worse than yours. I think the EA infrastructure is a disgrace. With new models coming out, also with 2-3 years of "free" EA charging, there should be some EA accountability. Can the court hold EA accountable since it was part of the VW settlement? I feel that I have paid for the free charging in the purchase of my vehicle. I am glad that you spoke so freely in this video about the EA deficits. Thank you for the role you have played in public education and for your advocacy.
Hope McKayla is good and well and back on her feet again. Great entertaining cut of the trip, NACS adoption will be surely be a game changer for these runs... Looking forward to next time!
I would love to see a different type of cross country time race. Like the one you did to Vegas once. This would give a real world test. No faster than 5 mph over the speed limit. Like from Florida to LA, or Seattle, NY to LA, or one across the middle like from NC to SF.
man kudos to you guys, this requires brutal endurance. the ICE cannonballs i think are more concentration/police management since you're moving at much higher speeds.
I had this same idea about 6-7 months ago. Was so close to buying a Lucid on 19s in NY and taking a shot at the record .... so glad I didn't!!! A 405 mi range Model S ought to destroy the record given the better charging infra.
On the Cannonball Run with a Ford 427 Cobra, above Texas it was running 200 mph in normal traffic. It's tires were not rated for such high sustained speed.
Very entertaining. Thanks for bringing us along. Hope your Dad wasn’t breaking out in a cold sweat with the apparent motor shaking from charging yo-yos.
I recently felt that jostling of the Lucid when charging at 150 and 350kw stations just this past weekend. I just kept it moving and wished for the best!
This was so very interesting. I’d like to see this run again next spring with hopefully new chargers installed. If you guys had the man power running the Lucid, Taycan and Model S at the same time would be pretty cool to see.
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.
1:23:50 I wonder if the Signet needs to switch between power converter modes/units right around 800V and the yoyo effect is the hardware going back and forth between the two...
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.
I see them using that uniden R8, those radars are amazing. Range are excellent!! Just btw I recognized the brand and model of the radar before Kyle said it.
Terre Haute is French for High Land but the city is listed at 499ft. Probably not too bad in the middle states. The location was first occupied by Fort Harrison which maybe needed the higher ground above the Wabash River. Nice ride so far, open skies and ground ahead to make time. Cheers.
Kyle is really bad with town names. He must have failed geography or states and capitals. I would think as many times as he has gone across the usa he can learn the routes were the chargers are and the name of the towns it is not hard.
Kudos to the Cannonball team for sticking to the CCS1 charger network no matter how bad. I'd be on the Tesla network with that adapter monster from Lutron but it's only a J1772 connection which might get you 11kW if you're lucky. But it wouldn't do for a Cannonball to beat 41hrs so just keep pushing.
What would you do if chargers are all blocked and your blocker is unsuccessful? I would never let someone block me from charging holding a spot for an incoming EV. First come first serve. Right.
May not have made the time, but it was still fun to watch! Also I found it helpful since I want to take my EV from Barstow to Albuqurque and was fairly certain about charging on the route, it was great to see confirmation
CCS Charging needs to vastly improve. Which is why I suspect all of the manufacturers are switching to NACS. It needs to be to be as simple as plugging in your phone to a USB charger.
I live in Redondo Beach. I own a lucid, loved this video. Next time, never go down 190th street if you are close. use Del Amo instead. Happy to be your welcoming committee!
1:13:04 That Neon unnecessarily went into the median. Truck came over, but not completely. They chose the grass. Thought truck unnecessarily came over (should’ve hit the brakes down to 45 instead of cutting off. I’m a 17 year veteran trucker). Always crazy out. & you guys are appreciated. & these companies wonder why EV sales are tanked.
Great effort and exciting to watch. You guys need to testify in front of congress to see what can been done to improve CCS charging infrastructure ASAP. Look forward to next attempt trying northern route. Pace car and pace car crew definitely made difference, amazing work Alyssa and Makela!
I think the contribution made by Alyssa, and in part her first companion, is under appreciated in this video. As an EV owner, GV60, I've concluded EVs are good for 90% of most motoring if you can charge at home. But they are not going to save the planet, if it needs saving, and the Lucid repeatedly passing the same vehicle says they're no good for long distances.
**Language warning in the video for younger folks who may be watching!

Thanks for watching as we always try and push the limits with electric vehicles!
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
You know who was the winner in this whole story?
He lost no sleep
Had no stress
Didn't speed
Didn't need to wait at chargers
Wasn't disappointed at the end of the day
Didn't try to break any records
And made $500 for 5 minutes of work?
The parking attendant of the garage
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.
Alyssa is the hidden hero of this run. Allways supporting. Did sleep less than anyone on this run, i guess.
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.

……. My third time watching it
It only means one thing, you need an EV in your life.

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

1:13:04 That Neon unnecessarily went into the median. Truck came over, but not completely. They chose the grass. Thought truck unnecessarily came over (should’ve hit the brakes down to 45 instead of cutting off. I’m a 17 year veteran trucker). Always crazy out.
& you guys are appreciated. & these companies wonder why EV sales are tanked.
Great effort and exciting to watch. You guys need to testify in front of congress to see what can been done to improve CCS charging infrastructure ASAP. Look forward to next attempt trying northern route. Pace car and pace car crew definitely made difference, amazing work Alyssa and Makela!
Only way to improve CCS is to use NACS and ditch that horrible charging plug and their networks
Yall had to blur it cuz you were speeding like crazy that’s insane
PHEV with L3 DC Fast Charging!!! Ramcharger may be a contender next year as well... Nice to use Polestar 1 in this group, thanks.
Savage. Girls polestar windshield is cracked and yall hit her with a “well, shit happens”. Haha.
These are such beautiful Cars, the price range is just so out of range for most.
Beautiful black Chevy 😂❤
I think the contribution made by Alyssa, and in part her first companion, is under appreciated in this video. As an EV owner, GV60, I've concluded EVs are good for 90% of most motoring if you can charge at home. But they are not going to save the planet, if it needs saving, and the Lucid repeatedly passing the same vehicle says they're no good for long distances.
