Hi Albon

[@V8_Diva]

At 4:02, the source you cite about the EV range issue only applies in -20F weather. March is not producing that low of a temperature in the US. The COLDEST states during the entire cannon ball run will only be at a LOW of like, 40F in March, well within the operational temperature for an EV. Come on man. You tried to claim unbiased research to get out of that too.

In the main version, you can even see your average speed in each event (according to reviews and footage, i only played the Wii version) EDIT: i played it recently and yes it does show average speed + a timer that shows your collective time of all stages, meaning that you can set times for the entire run, even though it's broken into chapters and stages

3200 miles / 24 hours = 133mph average. But, when you get stuck in denser traffic, you'll have to make up all the time spent below 133mph on longer straightaways. And these days, with as much traffic as we have now, I'd say that those records likely won't be broken.

[@Racecarlock]

Ok, hear me out. Everyone on a race track more or less consents to the risk that their car might be wrecked and they might be hurt. They and everyone else try to avoid it as much as possible, but there's always that acknowledgement. I don't think random civilians driving home from work have consented in the same way. Like, sure, they're driving, and they know driving is risky, but generally speaking they don't expect street racers to be roping them in to the gamble the racers are taking. And I know they're good drivers, but I watch professional racing all the time, and those guys still often crash, still get injured, can still die. Being really good at driving doesn't necessarily prevent a potential civilian casualty. So yeah, I support speeding laws. Take it to the track.

Especially considering that current high end EV range is 500mi. 1/6th of the estimated required distance, and the power consumption required to sustain motors at very high speeds in an EV. You need to cram the entire car with efficient, weather resistant batteries while maintaining your crew space and tech.

With no traffic they could’ve done it in 24 hours I feel like

[@stevenikitas8170]

It sure seems that a whole group of speeding cars would alert the police much more prominently than one single car...

[@lilfattyb]

The only way that a sub 24hour run could be achieved would be by hiring out sections of the highway where the most traffic accumulates so that the car could blast through those sections (but it’s too expensive and complicated to do)

[@ollelundin3701]

Honestly id call that cheating though

[@nickcordova7594]

The biggest traffic areas would be leaving Manhattan, and entering LA. If you leave Manhattan at 3 AM (midnight in LA) you would hypothetically get to the outside of LA around 11 PM which would greatly reduce traffic in those areas.

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

​@@ollelundin3701There's never a rule stating it has to be "authentic" conditions with traffic, roadwork, idiots, etc. It's "who can take a car across the country the fastest". Sure, "unsportsmanlike" maybe, because it would make the record untouchable, but well within the rules.

[@pauls5745]

cones and roadwork signs, or who knows? as much will go in to navigating/manipulating a route as the car itself

[@TheMarioMen1]

If you’re rich enough like Bezos rich you could pay everyone in NY & LA to stay home for one day lmao 😂

[@bwoah525]

The idea is cool but I just can't get past the danger of it. You're endangering the lives of others just for bragging rights. Also they have traffic light changers? What the actual fuck? That is so insanely dangerous it blows my mind.

[@AnindyaMahajan]

I thought this was Alex Albon's personal channel and he was racing from NYC to LA

[@wellanyway4]

Lmao I'm dead

[@dwminiboss511]

As a German who absolute loves Audi S6 this makes me really proud and I enjoyed your cannonball story time very much!

[@bsn0730]

Yeah Utah was busier than ever during the pandemic. I worked at a restaurant in Zion canyon at the time and we were busier than ever. Packed house pretty much every night

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

I had no idea Utah was open then, and glad to hear they did not accept the narrative.

[@BARelement]

Bruh you just brushed passed how that truck almost completely cleared y’all… WTF.

[@Michael-rp3go]

your script is like an essay trying to hit a minimum word count. EV's take hours to charge, and they have their own completely separate cannonball race

[@AakeTraak]

Let's risk the life of people. Such heroes.

[@TheEcono]

I'm all for competition but this is crazy ... One death imagine how many people would be scarred for life. 😢

[@georgejoseph1430]

absolute tomfoolery

[@aymaneoubad5057]

As usual awesome video bro ! Cheers !

[@elijahtsd]

man I love Audis

[@shropski1750]

Dude said an E63 AMG looks like a grandma car, who is writing this mans script lmao

[@unfractured_]

If it was NYC to SF than it would be something that TC2 players are well aquainted with.

[@nikkrueger5734]

Look up “The 2904”

[@snowflake7262]

Doing this challenge in Bangladesh is easy in terms of not getting caught by the police because 99% of the roads don't have a speed limit but there are some great disadvantages too like having narrow roads, traffic and high cost of buying cars as there is 300% tax

[@shamshoque6548]

bro I've been to Bangladesh, it's funny that you think any car can go 100 mph in Bangladesh even for a mile lol.... the streets are horrible compared to US highways

[@BengalTiger47]

In Dhaka people go out everyday and set new records for hours sitting in traffic 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Cookedfrfrfr]

What about driving in from another country?

[@BluueFSD]

I'm surprised they aren't in prison yet given how quick the US law enforcement is to put hand cuffs, and this video is giving full names

[@BuckeTea]

Damn what an insane story and such a fun watch, AMAZING story telling, really well done , great stuff!

[@Trekdood]

Interesting video. I'm wondering why people wouldn't time their depart time so that they arrive in Cali at night and run through LA while there is less traffic.

[@JorgeChavez-du5vm]

Lol they're scared the law in the middle of the country. That's why they go when they do. It gives them the cover of night.

[@christianbryant5617]

The A6 looking absolutely nothing like a Taurus😂

[@usauditresponse]

Lol Cannonball 2 prepare to sacrifice!

[@medokn99]

that sponsor spot was so organic😩💦
