DID WE BEAT THE CROSS-COUNTRY EV CANNONBALL RECORD IN THE TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE? IT'S SO CLOSE

EV Channels Review

The TFL team embarks on an ambitious cross-country EV "D-2-D" Cannonball Run from California to Florida in a Tesla Model 3 Performance, aiming to shatter the previous record set by a Hyundai Ioniq 5. The video highlights the advantages of the Tesla Supercharger network, noting its reliability and ease of use compared to CCS, which significantly aided their journey. Despite facing a major two-hour highway closure in New Mexico due to a serious accident, the team managed to set a new record of 45 hours and 39 minutes, beating the old record by over an hour. While the car performed admirably, demonstrating impressive efficiency and comfort, the reviewer noted issues with the adaptive cruise control and occasional quirks in the route planner. The Supercharger network is lauded as the true hero of the trip, saving considerable time and providing a seamless charging experience.
