just read this. A Rented Tesla Model S Just Shattered the EV Cannonball Record copy pasted from article. 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. https://currently.att.yahoo.com/autos/rented-tesla-model-just-shattered-135900313.html

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.

the reason why i posted this is because the last post about EV cars stated long distance trips are not likely done in EV cars due to time wasted on recharging. the record time shows this is becoming less and less of a problem.
the record setting car is 100% stock with nothing except lower resistance tires that are installed on another model car of the same brand. the record setting gas cars all had larger gas tanks installed to reduce fill up times.

They keep trying to prove to us what all the battery cars can do. When they really only need to prove one thing; practicality for the masses. But that is the one thing that they cannot do. At least not yet.
Master, again and still

At least not yet. For all the inferiorities the EV has over the internal combustion engine- the EV should be priced about 50% less than a petrol vehicle. Actually the EV should be banned due to the exposition of the lithium miners working in horrendous conditions for crap pay. Plus the damage done to the soil water and air by the total manufacturing process of the batteries. China has no EPA and DNR making them dispose of hazardous byproducts like we have here in the good ole evil terrible US.
Keep old mopars alive.
