This video documents an incredible feat of endurance and efficiency: setting a new EV Cannonball Record from New York to Los Angeles in 42 hours and 17 minutes. The record was achieved using a rented, largely stock 2021 Tesla Model S Long Range, with only minor adjustments like slightly over-pressurized tires. The journey highlights the rapid advancements in EV technology and charging infrastructure, with the entire trip relying exclusively on Tesla Superchargers for a total of 6 hours and 31 minutes of charging time. While the video focuses on the record-breaking run itself, it promises a more in-depth review of the Model S in a future upload. The primary takeaway is the impressive capability of current EVs to undertake such demanding, long-distance journeys.
