      Like I said on my prior handicappings,' of the prior 2 videos, it's all about the CCS crapshoot. If the Silverado's team gets lucky and their 350kw chargers actually work, they should win. Otherwise the Cybertruck will take it. Although their decision to use V2's instead of charging longer on the V3 in Texas so they can get to the next V3 could cost them.

    Thanks to the Out of Spec team and everyone else involved in making this race possible! Even though I personally won't buy an EV anytime soon, I still watch each and every video on this channel. The contrast between all the different people of the team is so interesting and fun to watch. Kyle is always maximizing everything to smallest detail (and so did everyone in his team) and then there's the laid back approach of his dad. Each and every one is equally as interesting to watch and I think it's safe to say that this is the best Out of Spec video (part 3) so far.
    The Glimpse app is a good addition to the races and I'm glad to see the progress regularly throughout the race.

    I’m a BIG Out of Spec follower and really appreciate all I’ve learned through your thoughtful and informative posts. BUT, I must take exception to Team Cybertruck falsely representing a dead Supercharger cabinet so they would not have to share power. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned from OoS is to be courteous to other EV drivers. Race or not, I found that to be COMPLETELY out of line and contrary to your inferred mission statement.

    Something that would be awesome for this type of video would be a sidebar showing the current time of day, time of race and current race position of each team. Not sure what the easiest way to achieve this is, given all the video composition that happens. But, indeed, it would be very interesting to track.

      The cold rag actually helps protect the handle as it doesn't have any cooling like the cable. They should have been using ice on the rag to really help it.

      @thelegendaryfk7922 The sensor is watching for overheating. If you keep the handle cooled, the sensor knows the handle is not in danger. Therefore, you're helping the handle stay cooled, which is best for longevity. Has nothing to do with tricking any sensor. Anyone who says that, including any of these drivers, doesn't understand how it works.

    Awesome trip and video. Goes to show that good infrastructure is just as important as battery capacity and charge curve. Seems like we are at a good point already, 40 hours coast to coast wouldnt be slow for a gas or diesel truck.

    3:31:46 I think this was the big takeaway from this trip. Both the Cybertruck and the Silverado EV were letdown by their respective charging infrastructure. V3 Superchargers are just underpowered for the Cybertruck, and while Electrify America has the best coverage of any public charging provider, most of their chargers and even charging sites struggle to actually supply 500 A to 800 V EVs. E-GMP cars are really threading the needle because they can benefit from the 800 V chargers while not requiring them to provide more than 350 A.

    • @danielzhang1916
      @danielzhang1916 Před měsícem +3

      yeah, this was an infrastructure failure, it's crazy that they were basically tied until the end, if the Cybertruck had enough power, it would have been so close, but the Silverado had the bigger battery and pulled it off to win

    • @newscoulomb3705
      @newscoulomb3705 Před měsícem +7

      @@danielzhang1916 It's not just the bigger battery. The fact that the Cybertruck couldn't charge past 30% in order to maintain the same average charging speed as the Silverado EV maintains to ~60% put the Cybertruck at a serious disadvantage. That means the Cybertruck needs to make four times as many charging stops just to hope to keep up, and any charging past 30%-40% or reduced power from the charger pretty much negates that. If Team Silverado didn't have such a sub par experience with the public chargers themselves, they would have finished a couple hours ahead.
      So no, not "just a big battery."

      ​@newscoulomb3705 - Tesla launched the Cybertruck with conservative charging speed. I guess to play it safe. They just announced today a 20% speed increase in charging for the cybertruck through a software update. My guess is they'll even increase it more thru another update at a later time.

    • @newscoulomb3705
      @newscoulomb3705 Před 29 dny

      @@ronin7645 Perhaps, but that would still leave it trailing the Silverado EV 3WT by a considerable margin. Even if, after the update, the Cybertruck could maintain the same average charging speed as the Silverado EV 3WT to 50% or even 60%, it would still need to make 50% more charging stops on a longer trip just to maintain parity.
      And that's the 3WT, not the big battery RST or 4WT, which average 250+ kW all the way to 70% to 80%. Also, as hobbled as the Silverado EV was by the public charging, the CT suffers even more on the Superchargers. Even with V3 operating at 100%, the CT can't charge at its fastest speeds, and it appears as though the CT will put a V3 cable into limp mode after only 10 minutes at full power.
      CT owners basically must use the public charging infrastructure if they hope to have any chance of reasonably matching the Silverado EV's charging and long trip capabilities. So again, at this point, it's more about these trucks exposing weaknesses in the charging infrastructure.
