MODEL 3 | 13,000MI+ ROAD TRIP AND BREAKING THE CANNONBALL EV RECORD

EV Channels Review

Kyle Conner details his extensive 13,443-mile road trip in his Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD, which included setting a new Cannonball EV record from New York to Los Angeles. The journey, completed in just over a month, highlights the Model 3's durability and the evolving EV charging infrastructure. Conner emphasizes the strategic charging methodology, aiming to charge until the speed tapers off around 55-60% and then moving to the next Supercharger. He notes the car's cooling system performed exceptionally well, with no overheating issues despite constant AC use and high speeds, including hitting the car's 140 mph limit multiple times. The total charging time was approximately 7 hours and 20 minutes. While the trip involved some challenges like traffic and a minor navigation error, Conner concludes that the EV Cannonball experience is less tiring than gas car runs due to the regular breaks at chargers. The review also touches upon Conner's subsequent industry engagements, including podcast appearances and visits to EV-related companies, underscoring the broader context of his trip as a deep dive into the EV ecosystem.
