His official record, set with friend and co-driver Josh Allen on October 22, 2021 in a 2021 Tesla Model S Long Range, would be 42 hours and 17 minutes. That beats the previous coast-to-coast electric vehicle record of 44 hours and 26—set in a Porsche Taycan—by over 2 hours.

only about 17 hours slower than the gas record. Not sure I'd call that fast.

Worth mentioning that was ran during the "shutdown" of covid in 2020, very very light traffic/congestion across the country. They beat their own record by 2 hours due to those circumstances.

Not that 17hr to 15hr is a game changer, but it is a noticeable advantage to the 25hr time along with 45gallons of additional fuel in the trunk. Which would be more comparable to the Tesla pulling a trailer with additional batteries and charging 2+ at the same time.
