**Language warning in the video for younger folks who may be watching!
Also, this is the full 3 hour long road trip story - we’ll have more bite sized bits of content covering what happened and what we learned coming on the other channels soon - we just didn’t want to break it into multiple parts, so here’s the full thing.
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.
Glad no one lost thier appendix.
Would you buy a lucid air and review it for us.. love ur channel btw
@@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.
The guy that owns a channel called "what's inside" did a long drive like this and he was hospitalized for appendicitis as well....
Says the one who thinks Teslas are the only electric vehicles
@@flamaest my appendix told me to f myself 3 years ago. My digestive health has been better since.
This is what my life has come to. Watching someone else charge their car for 3 hours.
I watched the video over a week so not that bad atleast for me
Watching bolt EUVs charge at 350Kw stalls go past 80%...
……. My third time watching it
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.
@@GA-wq8xqlol.
@@GA-wq8xqThey broke up? There newest video shows otherwise?!
Video is still processing in HD / 4K - CZcams seems to be taking extra long so we apologize for the potato quality at the moment this video goes live
360p ftw, watching anyway!
Settling in for 3 hours of 360p!
Thought it was me thanks lol
Me too! By the time it finishes we might go up to 4k :)
The quality will improve?
It was great to participate again, sorry the charging held you guys back.
Thanks, Tom! 🎉
So cool for you and Greg to have helped out! SK Signet really screwed things up for the Out of Spec crew.
Funnest thing I’ve assisted with in a long time! Thanks for letting me help in a small way.
Thanks dude! Really appreciate the help ⚡️
that was cool seeing you on camera!
Glad I could play a small role in helping this and was able to save y’all with the Francis Energy app!
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.
@@andyzegerman did you download their new app that old accounts don’t work on? 😅
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 😊
OMG, that poor viewer had he ears humped by Kyle! 😂😂😂
I just LOVE that it is a 3 hour long video. This is art. It is documenting EV history. And it is amazing content! You Out of Spec guys and girls rock!
🏆👍🔥
The dedication of this channel is completely INSANE!! Out Of Spec needs to be top of the the Auto channels due to their REAL WORLD testing alone.
I don't know if I'd call a cannonball run "real world".
@@Mike.T. I mean the channel overall. But still people do cross country road trips and this will help them out in some ways I’m sure
Glad McKayla is doing ok!
Hoping McKayla had a speedy recovery & is doing well. That’s about the only topic that matters in this video! Hi Alyssa!
You've single handedly made the best advertising imaginable for Lucid and for Electrify America.
And Polestar!
More like advertisement for the Tesla supercharger network 😅 The Lucid is nice though
@@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
There is nothing in this video that attracts me to anything dependent on EA. Total crapp
@@markfitzpatrick6692No, you didn’t get it. It’s like am advertisement for the Tesla network (riding a Tesla)
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.
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!
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.
44:22 Amazing, you guys were able to drive through Japan through this Cannonball run!
1:50:41 Tesla Supercharging is just so good, we take it for granted… kind of like Alyssa…
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.
If someone was "holding a spot" at a charger when Kyle was waiting in line he'd be the first to gripe and complain and do it publicly online!!
God that Polestar 1 looks amazing. Hell of an attempt and findings!
*Seeing Drew completely nerd out on charing stats. love it* 🤣
So interesting to see the EA stations suddenly get jam packed when they reach CA. I can tell you that is 100% accurate.
I worked at the Portofino Hotel in Redondo as a valet. I was lucky enough to meet many of the record attempt drivers and finishers!
1:18:42 i DIED laughing at the windows error sound when kyle was touching the screen 😂😂😂 it’s EA things
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.
Epic! Love the long format, couldn't stop watching. Thanks for the huge effort to share the experience with us.
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!
This honestly should be a movie. Great stuff.
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 CZcamsrs .
You guys definitely need to try this again someday. I have full faith the Lucid can beat the record and do it in under 39 hours.
The Lucid can…the charging network really can’t.
Thanks to the team for the amazing video! I can’t imagine the pain you felt during and after this journey.
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!
I miss Alyssa.
No EV will ever beat an ICE car at the cannonball.
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.
Yet another "Hello and Welcome to another Out Of Spec Motoring Video" Thanks for posting guys... We love and appreciate your content
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.
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.
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.
Great video. I would love to see the same trip with model s vs lucid, using both ccs and Tesla superchargers.
Watch the Las Vegas runs. Spoiler alert: the Tesla wins because of the availability and reliability of the charger network.
Epic! Thanks for allowing us to ride along.
This isn't really a comparison of cars as you say. But definitely a nice comparison of charging networks. Thanks for the video!
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.
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.
The Polestar looks sooo fkn neat
The EA experience-derated chargers and ID.4 squatters-makes me even happier that I chucked my Ioniq 5 for an MY. For road trips, it’s all about the charging network.
The cannonballs are by far my favorite content on your channel
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.
@@tanjiehjia I believe the current 42hr 17 mins record is held by a MSLR
@@tanjiehjiaThé 42 hour is a model S, model 3 is way slower
Massively entertaining video! Can’t wait for y’all to try it again when the charging issues are resolved.
20:15 Co-pilot perfectly times the start for an immediate red light. Nice
Great video, watched all 3 hrs and it flew by
In my limited experience EVgo has been more reliable, faster, and less crowded than EA chargers. Seeing that reflected here is interesting for sure.
That was really fun to watch. Thanks for documenting the experience.
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.
Great video! I'd guess that you'd want to time your arrival in LA for about 5am to beat the traffic and you'd want to enter NM at ~2 pm the prior day.
My dream video! I can't believe my eyes!!!
Thank you Tesla for the Supercharger network and Tesla software 👍 I so hate technology that doesnt work properly.
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.
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
You are too impatient is a huge understatement!
I watched the Taycan video several times, eyes gluded to the screen!
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!
Awesome video. I have no idea how you guys can drive this long with this little sleep.
Can't wait for the GM Loves EVGo Chargers to be 50 miles apart on the interstate.
Y’all stopped in Bedford pa 😂 Absolutely wild to see my hometown sheetz on here
Great film, loved the tension, but Alyssa was the the hero!!!!!
We need another cannonball, this one was 10 months ago!
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.
glad you're coming around to see the huge advantages of PHEVs (with the Polestar 1 in this case)...
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.
Thx for uploading a single long videos ❤
Loved every minute of it. Next time ya'll should bring a CB Radio to talk to the truckers. I think that would be entertaining. Great job!
Love seeing the cannonball videos
Great work, looking forward to the next attempt(s)
I think the next gen Ultium Bolt might just be the perfect vehicle to do the next attempt in
Love watching you guys. Not really in love with those Lucid notification noises, even in a video. Lol
Cool seeing some familiar chargers. First was in my town, and second two I use at least once a month visiting family.
great job to Out of Spec team!
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
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
This was epic. I can t believe I already watched 2 hours of this yesterday evening. Tonight is hour 3 : )
Thank-you ! I'm loving this video . I'm @1:09:57 in . I'm so happy you've saved me from being bored .
"You can go at least forty-five over those things" LMAO! Dave's gonna love to hear that! =)
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.
great job as always, nobody id rather watch do this...peace
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 is amazing Kyle!
Great video! The Electrify America charging that kept surging was WILD!
Great job with the video. And a great advertisement for Tesla and a reliable charging network.
Epic. And the perfect length
Love the 3 hour vids! Great job
Been waiting for this one!
This is the best motoring content on CZcams.
Thanks for doing these Kyle! Always great content 👏🏻 Would be cool to see a Taycan vs Lucid on the same run head to head!
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.
Thanks!
Beautiful black Chevy 😂❤
New Subscriber. Awesome video and very impressive car. I actually watched the whole video lol.
That Polestar looks sharp!
Epic! Nice use of the Lucid...haha
