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.

@@TheBowerbirdthat is why you give Kyle the lightning and team lightning the silverado. Most races Kyle stacks it in his favor. He only had the cyber truck because he just baught it . Normally he would have taken the silverodo. The 1st race to Vegas he gets a Porsche taycan and beats 2 teslas x and 3. The Mach e is like the lightning it doesn’t have the charging speed to keep up with the 200kw cars and trucks. Maybe a race with identical cars would be nice then it would be about the driver. Or a non Tesla race. So we don’t have to hear from Kyle drew is just going to plug in and it works or drew is such a great driver. I like drew he is a good guy but not invincible. He had supercharger problems too and came in 4th in race to Vegas 1. He overcame having to start later . I loved the Porsche and ionic 5 finishing 1 and 2.

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 people who use a rag to keep the handle cold are the same people who complain about delisted chargers

[@junehanzawa5165]

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]

@@junehanzawa5165 it just tricks the sensor, which is there for safety reasons

[@junehanzawa5165]

@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.

[@mysteryboyee]

@@junehanzawa5165 the only one who doesn't understand how it works is you and everyone who does this, as you said, the handle has no cooling, the rag is only cooling the outside of the handle, the inside is still getting stupid hot (you know, the part where all the actually important stuff is), only now the sensor doesn't know this is happening, and just lets the charger overheat and kill itself because it thinks it's fine when it is in fact very much not in any way shape or form. i hope tesla sends people like you the repair bill for these things

[@junehanzawa5165]

@mysteryboyee This doesn't even deserve a reply because you're clearly one of those incapable of understanding why we don't fall off from the bottom of a round planet. But here goes for those that do. The Tesla V3 handles have 2 sensors. One for the exterior to prevent it from getting too hot to handle (a lesson learned from V1's) and a second for the interior metal pins. If you only cooled the exterior, the interior sensor would still cut down the amperage (which causes the heat) if the interior of the handle gets too hot. So when you use an exterior cooling source that doesn't cool the interior, the interior sensor will still bring down the power. The only way the interior sensor won't bring the power down is ONLY if an exterior source is keeping BOTH the exterior AND the INTERIOR cooled below each of their heat thresholds. There is NO TRICKING THE SENSORS. The sensors don't have a heat sensor for themselves. They only measure the INTERIOR and exterior temperatures of the handle. If the interior of the handle is not kept cooled below its threshold, the INTERIOR sensor will bring down the power. So yes, a wet (preferably cold) rag helps protect the handle for as long as it can keep it below a certain temperature. As soon as that wet rag effectiveness is gone, the sensors bring down the amps. That's why it only helps for a few minutes.

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. Watched the whole series like a podcast driving through Germany in my 27kWh Mini Cooper SE :)

[@newscoulomb3705]

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]

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]

@@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]

@@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.

Thank you Max for editing this 4 hour video, and 4 hours for the past 2 videos! Lots of work went into this!

[@peterhelmer396]

Wow Just Wow. What an epic journey, what a production. GJ whole out of spec crew and guests.

[@ronb4633]

Seeing the cyber truck having to jump stalls to get full power and always wrap the charging handles to keep full power is just ridiculous when all Out of Spec and others say is how near perfect Tesla Superchargers are. I never have to wrap a CCS handle to get 268kW on a Taycan? Then leaving the door open to block a V2 charger or hanging the handle to flag as broken is so sleazy. What if all Tesla drivers acted like this? I understand it’s a race, but shouldn’t you act like a good person? This doesn’t make an example of etiquette 😔

[@scotth8037]

Yeah I agree, I would have liked to see a race in good faith, not pulling little tricks like that. Let's see how the infrastructure would actually work in real-life. When you inconvenience others just to win a contest, its pretty selfish.

[@ben3989]

I did it! I watched/listened to the whole damn thing! It was so fun and actually a pretty useful exercise. Charging will only get (slowly) better.

[@ruhtardedninjas]

I’d be interested to see how much it cost in total for each truck how much electricity did each one use and average price/kwh

[@evkx]

Oh man. First 4 hour KZbin clip for me with regular speed. Awsome effort guys!

[@boyinmakeup]

I'd love to see another race with a twist: no location sharing. It would be fascinating to see how the lack of information impacts decision-making and charging strategies.

[@l0b0m0]

Absolutely LOVED this whole series!

[@p0kerp1aya]

Thanks guys, what an epic journey! Lot of fun to watch and live vicariously through you all. I don't dare leave the city in my Nissan Leaf. 😂😂😂

[@e2dub]

While it was entertaining and informative, I think many of us would rather see a more realistic test using driving and charging practices that normal people are more likely to do. 1) route plan with no less than 10% state of charge on arrival. 2) No tricking the charging cable temperature sensors with wet towels. 3) Obey traffic laws, ie no intentional speeding or running stop signs. The Rivian had something like 40k miles on the odometer, while the rest of the trucks were all nearly new. Would be a more accurate test if all the trucks all had similar overall mileage/battery degradation. Regardless, It was great overall. Thanks for all of your efforts!

Fantastic video series, thanks so much for all your hard work.

[@F1travels]

Damn the editing is on point, videos getting better and better Kyle, awesome to see! Great content.

[@user-el9ke2fs9u]

I also found the semi-truck drafting to be dangerous and rude to the truck's driver.

[@philipmaxwell669]

Some of the most entertaining content I have seen on either tv , utube etc. It’s great to see real people in the real world doing great things.

It's really interesting to see how tired everyone sounds in comparison to the earlier episodes. Apart from your dad, who appears to have some sort of Tony Stark personal reactor.

What a great series of three fantastic videos! I really enjoyed following along it is truly amazing that the top three finishing such a long race over so many miles are finished within 15 minutes of one another

Yes wasn’t a fan of them. Team lightning all the way

[@andrewashmore8000]

So what were the results . Silverado first , 2nd Cybertruck 5 mins behind but had to top up to do the last few miles so 15 mins gap , then Rivian about 20 mins after that. Crazy after over 2000 miles trip. 4th was the super comfortable F 150 , several hours after the rest arrived. Still a great truck.

[@irfanhusein1445]

Yup! I rather do this trip in the super comfy Lightning

[@danielzhang1916]

it's crazy that the 3 trucks were able to keep it close, if the Cybertruck had enough power, it would have been a different story in the end

That's a lot of cope, 5 hours longer is abysmal.
