- Electric vehicles may be the way of the future, but are they any good at long distance drives? Are they even better than the most impractical combustion car? We decided to drive coast-to-coast and find out.

Exactly why they are comparing it to a race car, than a normal Lancer. Or any other normal car.
@@ariz.k9901 why not?
@@takumifujiwara9072 really? Just look at the 2 cars. One is clearly a daily driver and one is not.
@@ariz.k9901 Just shutup and enjoy the video you bummer.
"hasn't skipped a beat"
Literally had a cylinder misfire...
I know right
Kept running though. The Tesla didn't, it was inoperable.
@@meteormedia7021 missfires are actually quite common your likely to have 1 missfire every 100 miles, the ECU on race cars tends to be a bit more picky about it as it can damage the engine when its revving high
It didn't matter though
did you skip the part where they say the code pops up randomly doesn't have to be a misfire and is good to go?
29:22 The way he just keeps wearing his helmets in these scenes just make this look like an origin story for the stig.
The stig, but with no bones
I couldn't stop thinking of chrisfix tbh
We are all the Stig
Exactly what i was thinking. :D

Idris Elba is a super soldier?
Holy shit, this is literally a top gear road trip special. Unreal production quality
No, it’s literally gears and gasoline.
Top gear was a govt production.
This is just some car guys
It's close. Things are to dragged out personally. The edit could be better, but it's still a good watch.
Including the underlying unfairness of the comparison sadly
"That Miata was really uncomfortable"
"Let's strap into this track weapon which probably doesn't even have AC"
Who really needs an AC? Just cranking window would be fine.
Granted if he drove the miata, theres no way they could of picked up the new set of tesla wheels without renting a uhaul van lol
@@MJ-uk6luwith that rain, it should worked better than an ac
Facts, Ben Lin was bugging lmao. I don't care what you think about EVs, but a generic Tesla is going to be a billion times better on a road trip than a barely-street legal Evo.
@@atomicgiraffe250 poor matchup no problems with modified Evo is the weight reduction drawbacks I have the problem with..for a road trip some comfort features would have been accepted apples to apples. Oh well I'll watch more to see how it all works out
"slight engine misfire" I was laughing at this til I remembered why my golf was in the shop 2 days ago...............
I found out it was a dirty injector lol the misfire only happened at idle but when driving or out on track the evo was perfect 👌
Yeah, I just had to fix a misfiring issue on my Saab…
I bought it a week ago today
@@Polsihboy1 sick car btw I hope I can see it in person one day
@@geekazoid2235 lol the shop never figured out why it did so just gonna drive it like usual
@@Polsihboy1 YO CLOSURE! I'm so glad you got it figured out. Such a weird issue.
I drove across the country in a stock STI, I can't imagine there's anything left of the Evo driver's spine.
I'm driving my evo 9 from California to Pennsylvania in the next week or two......
@@bensiu4420 better get some hot/cold packs and some bengay for your back
@@bensiu4420 Get an auxiliary seat cushion. TRUST ME ON THIS.
That's what I was thinking. :(
Ben Siu No cap I’m also planning to drive my evo 9 from west coast to east coast soon 🤣 Washington to New York
"We're talking practicality" - zooms out to him wearing a helmet in a fully gutted caged car
"time is money" yeah with the logic though, you can just fly across the country
Johnathan Blackburn 😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol
jesususususus hope the creator sees this. i know they hate electric so much but they are so blinded
tommy tran they do not hate EV’s, it’s for comedic effect
you mean like literally millions do it every year? this is a car show that's why they are using cars
Enjoyed every minute of this. Glad I could be a part of it! RIP Ben.
Hell ye
I was like "that looks like Delores" then he said "The owner, Rich" lol
I knew it was yours
Wait what happened to Ben?
I thought that delores had supercharging removed?
16:26 When the party is over and you have to call your mom to pick you up
heavily underrated comment
Lmao
Lmao I'm dead
lol
That so on point xD

“Gas is really cheap rn” these are the words you’ll never hear again
Nope
Missed the perfect opportunity to say doms lines 🤦🏾♂️
Brian: i almost had you
Dom: you almost had me?? You never had me, you never had your car
Thank you for having me be a part of your roadtrip! It was an amazing opening to the roadtrip series and I can't wait for the rest! Sorry Ben for the bone shattering experience
Did you at least adjust it to full soft for him? Well as far as it's adjustable anyway. Car looks and sounds great
@@MrRedstoner Nope I had it set to my track specs. Although the Ohlins drive very well on the street even when set almost fully stiff
I love the Evo, it looks so awesome! I hope I can buy one when I'm old enough :)
"At What Cost?"
"My Bones."
...ground into powder!
Small price to pay for automotive heaven 🙃.
* 2012 tesla model s supercharging is free *
*sales of 2012 tesla model s' increase massively*
@@isaiahlouisb2 wdym?
@@isaiahlouisb2 it's a salvage car tho
every single model s/x gets free charging, even 2020
@@dollarn9ne That is not true. Only S/X's that were sold when free supercharging was offered have it and it's not transferable to another party in resale. The only way to get free supercharging right now is to buy a used Model S/X through Tesla and it's only on models that were originally sold with free supercharging that Tesla took back in trade-ins. Tesla is not offering free supercharging on any new models any longer. Elon stated that free supercharging is not sustainable.
@@isaiahlouisb2 I believe this was recorded before Tesla put that in place! (Disabling Supercharging on salvage vehicles)
Granted you get free Supercharging on 2012 Model S, but, you also get way slower Supercharging. A new Model S/3/X/Y will charge much faster and get way more range, from 250~ miles shown on here to around 400 at best. :)
I commend Casey on his exemplary cinematography all around and extraordinary use of drones. I can only imagine the hard work that went into that. 50% enjoyed the cars and ride, 50% enjoyed the scenery. Great job, keep it up.
That cut to Ben laying face down in the grass was incredible 😂 So funny
Visuals are on point as always, as well. The places you go and shoot at have a natural beauty to them, but the camerawork just adds so much to it. Fantastic job
and that shirt with the sm:)e with the eyes x'd out
30:16 from comfort cutting to absolute pain was the best part of the video
I’m glad I could contribute to this road trip with the Hans! I can’t wait for the next episode!
Your HANS helped me avoid getting flamed by thousands of internet safety experts.
Gears and Gasoline that is very true 😂
What was inside the Pelican case in the “Why we drive manual” video?
CarTuner PH Did you not watch it?
Man, the most I like about this kind of series, is the real hardships that you guys go through, it’s normal for mishaps to happen, and I believe that some other shows are just too afraid to showcase them, I enjoy so much watching your show, because you manage to solve all the issues you encounter 💯

"You never had me you never had your car"
The Buster
So sad he missed out on that comeback hahaha
Ahh yes, a new upload from my favourite channel; "Roadtrips and Detailing" 😂👍
The drone shot at 14:43. *chef's kiss*
Edit : The top gear vibes are so good lol
Edit 2: Nvm the drone shots in the entire video are fantastic
I swear, every time I watch one of these road trips, it reminds me of old top gear. It brings a tear to my eye, keep doing these please
Nothing will ever replace the sweet symphony of a real engine, whether it's a turbo setup or just a big NA monster, it'll always be a part of driving that engages you and makes the drive worth while. You wouldn't be able to wind down the window of a Tesla and hear the exhaust notes sing throughout the valleys in rural New Zealand.
What’s a real engine anyways. Electric cars were a thing before gasoline
when i was 16 years old. i was transporting a DOT approved motorcycle helmet to a friends house when i thought it would be funny to wear it while driving. I no sooner pulled out of the parking lot i was in and immediately got pulled over by a cop who issued me an obstructed vision ticket. This resulted in my getting my license suspended as in NH if you are under 21 any violation results in a license suspension. i tried to argue with the cop about it and he threatened me and told me he would write me a reckless operation fine as well because i removed it while driving if i didnt shut up.
was a wild experience
if it was DOT approved could you have fought that ticket in court? or is it DOT approved for motorcycles only
Stupid pigs don't have anything better to do.
@Jai Rey so it's ok for a motorcyclist to have their vision obstructed? He should have fought that in court. Lol
The Road Trip IS FINALLY HEREEEEEEEE WOOOOHOOOOOO
😂 “dude I almost had you”...
"Almost had _me_ !?"
@@ZeHoSmusician You never had me. You never had your car.
This is the kind of content that really sets this channel ahead of others.
Great stuff guys.
Cool, wearing a Gears & "Gasoline" while driving and charging an Electric Car... Sweet!🤣
An Electrict car that doesn't have gears either!!🤣
Should get me a t shirt too. !
@@G.Suzuman It has a Single set of Gears, just not multiple. Dual Motor Tesla have two gear sets.
@@G.Suzuman let me know how anything can move without gears, in the motors it has open diff that also has gears
Excellent cinematography, especially toward the ends. Though to be honest I don't think it's fair to say the Tesla is less "reliable" as the problem is the non-stock wheel, not the car it self. However the quality is perfect as usual. Thank you for the great content!
They did mention that 21" wheels are a factory option. I think its just an objectivley impracticle size wheel, see new Honda type R owners downsizing their 21s to 19 because of the same blown tyres.
Those 21 inch wheels and low-profile tires are notorious, and you can find other road trips documented on CZcams that were sabotaged by them. There have even been cases where a pothole took out two wheels at once. Yet somehow people keep shelling out for them. Expensive rims, expensive tires, less efficiency, worse ride, easy to break, but “they look so cool!”
Thank you guys so much for this! We sorely NEED more of this kind of content in the world! You're the best, keep it up!
One of the best channels on CZcams! The content is great, the editing and cinematics are gorgeous. I’m looking forward to more.
Short Ben casually lifting in the intro💪🏻
Soon he's gonna be Buff Ben

When was he lifting? I didn’t catch it
@@kiweeltyler3586 It's at 0:25
This video is proof positive that one doesn't need a huge production budget or a 10 person film crew to make quality content. My hat is off to y'all, good work. Definitely gained a subscriber.
Love the story, editing, script, tech contrast, scenery, etc well done! Can't wait to see next episode!
Glad you guys did another road trip series. Also, great job on the B-roll footage!
Lin: "But this car hasn't skipped a beat..." soooo cylinder misfire doesn't count huh? :)
Ok, it skipped one beat.
he could fix it in the time your need to recharge a tesla lmao
@@autoaus fair point
@@autoaus *You
The Evo's owner explained it in another comment. It was a very minor problem.
I really really love this cross country road trips series. please make more of them. it helps alot
i drove my evo from california to tx and back..... it was love hate relationship but doing 90mph on heavy TX rain storm and not having full grip was putting a smile in my face immensely
These long road trip episodes never disappoint! I remember watching the first road trip to Alaska by Gears & Gasoline and I instantly fell in love with the channel! These videos are better than many TV shows! And the production quality is amazing as always!
You know, I was doing fine until 31:17 and i just freaking lost it. lmao. Nice comedic touch!
Dood I love y’all road trips. Can’t wait for more episodes. We stuck at home in Cali so thank u for this entertainment. We living through your journey. Keep it pushing y’all. 👍💪☝️
Just want to say I’m obsessed with your road trips. This inspires me to go on the road trip I’ve always wanted to do
I own Model 3 (DM) and STi so this episode hits close to home. As you can guess, my family ends up taking Tesla on long road trips and STi stays at home. Having done both east coast and west coast trips, I want to point out few pros/cons:
1. Most Teslas will have Autopilot, thus long road trips are a lot more relaxing because the car does most of the driving.
2. Range anxiety with Tesla is still there. As noted in the video, the car will tell you to slow down to reach the next destination. Sometimes you are driving below the speed limit and semi trucks are passing you at a lot higher speeds - I don’t like that feeling at all.
3. Supercharging stations are not all the same as there are plenty that cannot do 150KW, this means that you are going to be stuck charging for very, very long time.
4. Tesla (or any EV) range during winter’s cold temperatures is really bad, especially when combined with highway speeds of 70+ mph.
I own a Model 3 Performance, I'd say range axiety exists more before you set off on your road trip! It's easy to sit and plan all your stops, worrying that maybe you'll arrive with
The Supercharging network is definitely constantly improving. I have no doubt that nationwide supercharging (or other charging) networks would catch up and exceed what we have today in a few years.
“Dude i almost had u” Ben “no u didn’t” rather than “u never had me, u never had ur car😭😭
Jared Lindgrin i know 😭😭 it would’ve been a perfect response too!
haha this is also a jojo refrence becuase the sun is a stand, nobody likes f&f refrences and its the same for jojo refrences, just stop
Keyion Scott what
Aaaah the shots from 28:38 to 29:08 ... Perfect to 'close' a long video like this. I'm enjoying this series, heading towards the next episode :)
This channel has by far the best editing and production skills of any other car channel + very entertaining. Keep it up GUYS!!!!!!
i love the cinematic feel you guys create, going the extra mile with your videos
i will see myself off now
Bens evo reminded me of James may’s yellow aston Martin n24 from the early top gear episodes🤣
Awesome video. Love that you guys see both pros and cons to both cars and make it so funny. Excited for Episode 2 tomorrow.
the shots are just so incredibly pleasing asthetically
Always LOVE when you guys do these VS type roadtrip series. Can't wait for more :)
"is there such thing as a slight check engine light?" hahahaha
Yes on my 03 wrx sti it's called P0302
Ben planked out in the middle of a random field was the perfect ending. Having experience with a 5-point harness and full race bucket seat on a daily, that man's going to need weeks of deep tissue massages and chiropractic adjustments just to feel human again.
That’s what she said
I have never seen a car (or really any hobby specific channel) with so much art and cinematography in it. These videos are not "everyday youtube" content. They are master pieces in film of story telling and passion that put the so-called "professionals" on major TV networks to shame. Give me this any day.
Can't wait for the next one!
Hitting like automatically just cause is Gears&Gasoline!!
Love this type of videos guys keep em coming 👍💪💪
I always get old top gear vibes whenever I watch these videos. a beautiful masterpiece
Could someone appreciate how well this video was filmed and edited 👏
bruh the scene pulling into the hotel, hilarious the go pro shot too just before with all 3 of them haha. This is so great guys amazing job.
“Did you walk out into this field to lay down?!” Great start to the series boys!!
The quality of this is amazing! Great job on the editing! :) Can't wait until Saturday!
Newbie subs here from philippines.. Love to watch your vids, specially when you are on the long trip guys.. You made me smile, amaze and laugh.. Keep it up guys.. More long trip to come guys..
Guys, this is your 1st video I've ever watched. I came here from Rich Rebuilds Patreon page and I want to tell you, you are awesome, great jokes, fun way of making "comparison" video. Love it!
Ceep on the good work! :)
p.s. I subscribed right away :)
Whoooo another roadtrip yeaa I love these
Who doesn't?
Nice to see Stig has found new employment in these times
man....this is so fun to watch...got it on my recommendation list, clicked it...not regret it...a new sub...btw, your show reminds me of Top Gear when it was young
The camera work and concept are really well put together. So are the hosts seem like really fun individuals!
This is interesting with complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Definitely wouldn’t roadtrip a racecar, but roadtripping with either gas or eV would be fun. EV forces you to stop and stretch, enjoy the nearby sights and what not but gas would have more convenience. Both are pretty doable by the looks of it; unless of course your back crumbles from the lack of comfort
Other opposite ends that would be cool to see would be supercar/suv/high-end sports cars vs econobox/city car/cheap car; or even hybrids at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Wonderful work on this production! Looking forward to seeing this continue =D
I wish car culture kept up with the idea that not every car has to be a racecar and handle on rails. For road trips I'd rather have something quiet and comfortable so I can look at the scenery and talk to people without yelling. Electric cars are great for an everyday car and as battery tech gets cheaper and better, we should embrace it.
People definitely like to harp on the range issue, but for me I’d honestly need to stop for 30-45 minutes every 300 miles. I just can’t drive for that long lol. Not a problem for me haha.
Max JF and the craziest part is new Tesla’s charge way faster. About 1000 miles of range every hour
"EV forces you to stop and stretch, enjoy the nearby sights"
I actually never stopped to think about this. You make a really good point.
Mike Fox honestly yeah, but even from a literal driving perspective. Who in their right mind wants to go 300 miles, stop for 3 minutes to fill up the gas, and go another 300 miles. Probably some people, but I really wouldn’t enjoy that anyway
I love how each and every car has their drawbacks and set of potential problems. And people can help each other out when something goes wrong. 😄
Awesome episode! Those 21" rims looked badass on the Tesla, I was sad to see them go
IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR ANOTHER ROAD TRIP VIDEO THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH

What a great episode cant wait to next Saturday for the second one! Roadtrips on GnG are AMAZING !
Just noticed that you filmed another awesome road trip. Will be watching all episodes!
I can't imagine going that far, I've done Michigan to Florida and back in a low coilover 03 Impreza and that was brutal on the body let alone a purpose build track car, I feel for you Ben 😅
Ive already seen the trip on Instagram but Im suddenly getting PTSD when Engineering Explained bent a wheel on his Tesla too lol
what's missing in the Tesla:
Gears and Gasoline
Yes
I remember thinking ima get a Tesla when I older ( I am 13 ) I saw the price and said “Yea Nvm”
You should be doing this roadtrips more on the channel love watching them great video guy countie with the good work 👏
so much fun to watch. You guys made the presentation so well filled with fun, excitement, beauty of nature and a great race and more..Watching from Nepal.
Ben laying in the grass face down had me ☠️. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
31:14 LMAOOOOO love the video, the content, the cinematic shots, & THE EVOOOOOO lol.
I have been waiting all years for this type of video?. Keep them coming.
excellent entertainment as always, thank you for making it happen!
I remember engineering explained doing a 2000 mile road trip in a model 3 performance. Super charging from 15% to 100% was more like $120 not $20. Comparing to something mildly economical a Tesla road trip this size would cost thousands more than gas.
weird i have an model 3 and i pay 12 euros per charge
@@Delitor That's nice.
@@Delitor Europe has a lot of ev friendly stuff, America land over here hasn't done much
When you guys stopped in “Minnesota “ at 29:22 that’s Sioux Falls South Dakota “lol
Love seeing Charleston WV making the video. Went to college there. Great city
Last 5 min of drone shots !!! Just amazing production quality
dang that Evo man makes me wonder why Mitsubishi isn't fun anymore
Cause evos are a nich market. So they went all crossover family vehicles. Sad day when they announced the end of the evos
1. no one buys em
2. no money
3. broke af
4. resorts to selling crossovers and ruining the eclipse name
You don't nuke a country twice
@@rakka3747very true but subaru is still balancing crossovers and wrx stis i honest think they should do it for fans like subaru
@@DRcrimeinvestigate that's because there's a market for AWD family sedans. All models of the Subaru Impreza come standard with AWD. However, only the Evo and the Ralliart are AWD Lancers iirc. Not to mention the ugly styling of the Evo X compared to the STI, it's no wonder they were phased out.
"Gas is really cheap"
That aged well
Some amazing footage you’ve got there guys ! Keep up the awesome work !
Very informative and entertaining to watch the Battle of the Bens! Well done.
