The Race To Vegas Is On! 5 Electric Cars Battle The Tesla Supercharger vs Public CCS Network - Pt. 1

What an insane weekend this was and it's just the first episode! For those of you who don't want to watch the FULL story of everything that's happened, once the full series is posted we'll have a wrap up on Out of Spec Reviews.

Definetely not the Model X. Who's waiting with stopping to charge until the Tesla says it's ended will never win such an ev-race. :)

Very few people will appreciate how much work it must have been to edit all of this together. Road trip videos are already challenging to put together, but having so many different video sources and crossing time zones is whole different level of challenging. I’m glad you made this to counter MKBHD’s fairly poorly done comparison of Tesla and CCS charging infrastructure and to help show people that you don’t need a Tesla to road trip an EV.

They would just go to any of the other chargers that were there. The bigger problem is what happens if none of the others were available.

[@devert103]

Thanks for another great video. Took my first road trip in the 2021 Taycan last week. Plug and charge - zero percent success. The only way to charge is - use the app, find the charger, start charging, then plug in. Works every time. Any other sequence- no go.

This video reminds me just how much easier Tesla charging is. I own both Tesla and non-Tesla EV, so I tried road tripping using EA network in the past, but have been using Tesla for all road trips after my first trip on EA network. Looks like EA is a bit better now, but still sucks compared with supercharger network.

They have just done some research in the UK - range for an EV is not a factor now for people buying an BEV but finding and working a changer is

And it’s not just the density of their chargers, the navigation system on EV is also really important and often overlooked by traditional automakers.

I FULLY agree we need a sustainable alternative to diesel/petrol and electric and even hydrogen are possibilities..... NGOs such as WEF and others are accelerating the need/justification for electric cars, but I think a lot more has to be done to address the underlying environmental issues surrounding the efficacy of the batteries and the recycling of them plus the recycling of the cars themselves.

It wont, the Fed is throwing billions at the problem. In a couple of years the J1772 DC network will dwarf Teslas. In fact Tesla is well on its way to get rid of its particular connector. It's already done so in a few EU countries which have required it to do so.

Haven't read all comments yet and it's surely been said before: It seems you mostly arrived at the charging stations with more than 20% SOC and charged up to 100% before moving on. That costs you about an hour on your trip. The fastest charging happens between 0-20% SOC. (you hardly ever did that) The slowest charging happens between 80-100% SOC. (you mostly did that) Move your usable 80% gap down a notch or two and you will road trip way faster. Same range, more charging speed.

He mentioned that each car will make about 3 or 4 stops. A lot of people will look at that as a negative of EVs… that you have to stop that many times. BUT according to National Highway Safety, every 3 to 4 hours of driving requires a 45 minute rest stop to prevent driver fatigue/drowsiness. It is actually dangerous too drive to long. An EV actually forces drivers to rest frequently on long road trips

I love this! Keep up the good work and y’all are doing great job with the long form reviews and trips! 🤘 Can’t wait for the Hummer/F-150/Rivian road trip soon!

[@christinearmington]

👍🤩😎

Wildness of a road trip race. Everyone’s enthusiasm to win the master bedroom is on point.

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Oooh, it is spelled master bedroom, thought it was something kinky. 😂🙈

[@waynead754]

Where's part 2? The suspense is killing me!

[@paulgray9191]

I think you guys have way too much fun with your tests. hahaha Love it!

[@ruudfalun]

With the Model 3 still charging at 55 kW power, it should be a piece of cake for the Taycan. This is not just about the cars, but 50% about the drivers...

My favorite town Fort Collins, in Colorado. Miss that town. Great review and thank you for the memory lane to both town and my Tesla P85! Damn i miss that car. No I didn’t get rid of it, but was involved in a rear end collision and was deemed totaled.

That 2022 Model 3 Performance is a great car. I got 247 WH/mi in mine on the way to the track. I ran 11.40 @ 117+ mph for the 1/4 mile and 3.04 0-60 mph. Pretty incredible to get good efficiency and still be fast too.

[@4literv6]

Very nice, makes me wonder what a plaid model 3 performance would be like. Since the plaid uses the same 3&y motors, just modified with c.f. rotors. Ad 4680s in the structural pack and the single piece castings, track mode&track pack standard, maybe air suspension finally. That could be a serious monster in its own right. 🤔

@@4literv6 relax tesla wont give it to us

[@4literv6]

@@rudyyyxu probably not. 😐 I'd really like to see them make a performance 2dr coupe to combat the mustang/camaro/400z segment. Base it on the 3 chassis with the castings and structural pack. Use the plaid motors, sell a rwd 350 or so hp model for only 45k with a few options like track pack available. Put real performance seats in it then offer an awd version with 600+hp for 55k. Wonder how many they would sell. 🤔

[@rudyyyxu]

@@4literv6 Yeah my biggest complaint on track are the seats. 10 minutes into a session I get so tired from bracing

Really fun video but I just keep waiting for Alyssa to hit Kyle. Imagine getting yelled at for doing 29 mph instead of 30

[@adamk2788]

Great video, super interesting with the variety of EV’s. Looks like great fun. Can’t wait for pt 2 :). Keep it coming Kyle and team 👍

[@slyguyaction]

Wish we lived in the area and could of joined this race with our ID.4! How much fun it would of been!! Yeah!!

[@gregb7353]

I wish they had an ID.4 in the race. My understanding is it should beat the Mach-E but I would have loved to find out.

[@markrichards9792]

The ID.4 charges so slow I think it would be an embarrassing last place

[@abraxastulammo9940]

@@markrichards9792 Brand new ID.4 charge 56 kWh in 28 min now.

[@christinearmington]

Taycan screen with the map is gorgeous! 🤩

[@duckid73]

Did you also run that gas-powered car at the same time? I'd love to know how long it took for all cars to get there and how much it costs overall.

[@mathiaspolit6453]

Shoutout to Patrick and Liv for representing the Mach-E gang!
