It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.
Effective personal finance management is more important than the amount of money saved, regardless of whether income is earned through a job or investment. Individuals can seek counsel from a certified financial advisor to optimize financial outcomes, who can provide specialized advice and methods to decrease expenses and maximize income.
@@ThomasLee-yn3xu I've been in touch with a financial advisor ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture the challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.
@@maccidomuhammadbello4171 I appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that result in unmeasurable progress. Being heavily liquid, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel, thus the search for a reputable advisor, Do you mind sharing info about this person guiding you, please?
@@latestmovies3743 Finding financial advisors like Victoria Carmen Santaella who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
@@maccidomuhammadbello4171 I greatly appreciate it. I'm fortunate to have come upon your message because investing greatly fascinates me. I'll look Victoria Carmen Santaella up and send her a message. You've truly motivated me. God's blessings on you.
Crazy how much station knowledge you need just to drive the Lucid
No sh-t. Brutal.
So if you have CCS, you do your homework, research all the chargers, read the forums, and push it to the limit, then it's a coin flip between losing to the Tesla by a few hours, and losing to the Tesla by a few minutes.
Great comment. This made me laugh! Fact is often funnier than fiction.
And if you have chademo just cry in a corner
CCS charging is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
Box of cheap chocolates! Unreal how unreliable it can be.
Mamma always told me Signet is as Signet surges.
@@Ed20942 😁
CCS chargers and CCS cars goes together like peas and carrots.
@@kevincurry4735 😅
Truly one of the most fun adventures I’ve done, huge shoutout to both Kyle and Ryan for optimizing every last bit of juice these cars had making this a epic race! What a freakin blast this was!
Thank u for making us proud, Colton! 😁
Colton, Ryan, and Kyle make a great road trip team! 52K views for a 3 hour video is darn good!
Kyle: AHHH FULL SEND; Colton: AHHH DONT WANT TO SHARE POWER; Ryan: It’s like an angry frog hahah; I f***ing loved this video.
Hahaha
Isn't the Lucid limited on Tesla Superchargers too? It will still be at a disadvantage.
@@a.j.robertson4623yes Lucid has horrible hardware
no its because its 800v and tesla is only 400v
dont know how its bad hardware when its 25-50% more efficient than the model s@@leanderzulu3494
Tesla superchargers can't handle the voltage Lucid needs yet. Version 4 superchargers should fix that.
I CANNOT believe I just spent THREE AND ONE HALF hours of my life watching this!
I kept thinking I’d fast forward to the end. But as you all exclaimed over and over and over and over again and again, it was “freakin’ epic!”
Bravo!!!
Same first time I fully watch a video this long, overall great video no regrets!
Good to listen to while doing something else. 😊
Three hours I would never get back. Based on the first four minutes of the blather, I knew I would never make it another minute further.
I really hope they do this race again once all of the EVs can all use the Tesla charging network.
Tesla restricts the Lucid charging speeds compared to EA, when the charger is working properly
@@jackylsmith8138a Lucid can’t use a Tesla DC charger 🔌 yet. It won’t do anything right now.
I think Tesla will increase the voltage on V3 so they can handle high volt batteries like lucid, taycan and the EGMP platform.
@@LearningFastI it can with magic dock superchargers
@@stevenichols4639They can't increase the voltage on V3s without changing the DC cabinets first.
2:30:53 this is the moment Kyle fumbled in his own end zone. You can see how gutted he is that he miscalculated which charger is at Frisco. This really shows how passionate Kyle is about what he does. Bravo Kyle. It is really hard to optimize charging like you do.
Lucid is so hard to optimize in the current charging station setting, if there were another driver driving it, it would be smoked big time. Honestly Lucid should gave something to Kyle.
it's bceause of signet chargers, not the car@@suvari225
But if the expert in consumer charging needs to think this much to figure it out, hows the average consumer supposed to figure it out?
@@anhta31they don’t. they just pay attention to the car trip planner or A Better Route Planner. Unless it’s a Tesla, it’ll be very error prone and frustrating.
Probably the first time I watched a TH-cam video that was 3 and a half hours long without skipping forward.
Now a race to Vegas in reverse would be interesting……… backing up all the way would give the reversing cams a work out!
with 16mph speed limit will take a few business days to get there
I’d like to test the route planner and make a rule that you have to do what it recommends. That’s the way normal people will use them. Most people don’t have the specific expertise your team does.
I love this idea.
100% agree
Totally agreed
This is a fantastically fun video. Can't believe I just watched it all at 2* speed which made it seem even more frantic 🤣
For me, one of the best aspects to this video was the cooperative competition instead of cut-throat competition. This made it far more enjoyable.
1350 Miles in 24 hours in a 2018 Model 3 AWD LR. We got the call, my mom was in hospice, only a few days to live. After a couple of bad overnight drives, we have always stayed at hotel. We decided this trip warranted an over night drive. The Model 3 and the supercharger network performed flawlessly. The two things that stood out was autopilot and how comfortable the seats where for the passenger to sleep. We averaged 57 MPH. It was mostly in the Northeast and the Midwest, where the speed limits are 65-70 versus 75-80 for the race. The faster speeds might change the average speed.
Ganapathy is the real winner.
Yes lol
I think you are doing a fantastic job of teaching EV owners that you can reach places with less than 5% rather than the human tendency to start panicking at 20%, However, in the real world, almost nobody has your deep knowledge of volts, amps and watts in relation to charging speed, miles/kw, kw/mile etc etc. Not every journey is a Cannonball run and not every driver has the colossal breadth of your knowledge of which chargers work how etc.
Not a good habit less than 5% for sure.
The whole intro speech is about being worried about charging
The fact that you all made this video with such passion and posted it is proof that EVs are not ready for prime time and gasoline powered cars are still king now and for at least the next decade.
“Race to Vegas in reverse”
“Race to Clear Detailing”
“Race to Fort Collins”
“Race to Windsor”
How about…
“Race FROM Vegas?” 😂
I was literally just thinking that
Yes, that's what I was thinking. Just call it Race From Vegas.
Wow, I can’t believe I sat and watched about 97% of this video without skipping through!!! I guess I better get back to work…😬
Well done Kyle for putting this together! 👏🏻 Great race - keep doing these, and long videos work very well. Kyle sending it at every opportunity 😂. This channel must have one of the highest percentage retention rate on long format 2 hour plus videos on TH-cam.
😂
If Kyle had drove the Taycan he probably would had won this race. He never would charge a Taycan to 94% to arrive with 17% at the next stop. But anyway great race, nice run form everyboady and thanks to all of you, it was a pleasure to watch.
Have you considered using the updated a better route planner (ABRP) and super charger info webpages? The best ABRP route planning for the Model S Plaid appears to be Beaver, UT (250 kW for 30 minutes), Green River, UT (150 for 21), Parachute, CO (250 for 13), and Edwards, CO (250 for 19). (83 charging minutes)
In dire contrast, the Tesla Trip Planner suggests St. George, UT (250 for 15), Beaver, UT (250 for 10), Richfield, UT (150 for 25 ONLY 4 STALLS), Green River, UT (150 for 20), Grand Junction, CO (150 for 25), and Glenwood Springs, CO (150 for 55). (153 charging minutes). That is an extra 70 minutes of charging and 2 more stops (est. 20 minutes of driving time) using the Tesla Trip Planner. Clearly the Tesla Trip Planner is not ready for prime time trip planning.
It seemed like Colton had ABRP on his iPhone for backup but didn't deviate too much from Tesla's trip planning. Agreed on ABRP being pretty good when it comes to calculating charging stops. For me in an EV6 with no route planning, ABRP is a godsend.
Wow! Out of all of the races so far this one was my favorite. Crappy EA and traffic and one exit difference made this a real nail biter. Thank you Kyle and team for making these epic videos. I could never travel as much as you and you make it very educational and entertaining. I will get an electric because of this channel one day.
I think I head the words “ripped, charging curve, and epic” more in these 3 videos than in my entire life😂. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Well... 3 hours of my work day will be this running in the background! Cheers Out of Spec!
great race... things got really exciting when you were all at the Edwards station at the same time. The ending just shows that all 3 models are great
That ending!!!! Fastest 3.5 hours of my life ha
This might be the best week ever! So many long videos! I love it!!!
I started watching this 4am. Went to work at 5. Worked 8 hrs, came home cut the grass and watched the last two hours. I don’t own an electric vehicle, however, this was extremely entertaining. The editing was on point. Great job on that. Next should be a cannonball run for EV. That would be awesome.
Wow this video was so cool to watch. Seeing the different stops happening then all arriving within 20 minute window is quite impressive.
always amazed when i see how different the traveling styles are, comparing europe and the US.
Very exciting episode- bravo ! Interesting how close it was - and the difference charging strategies needed for cars
Can’t wait to watch this whole video. This is a great test and a really entertaining video.
This is the best content on youtube. You all did really well and kept the excitement going right to the end.
Great video guys, very informative. Answers a lot of questions i had getting into a possible EV at some point. Especially long distance runs. Now, just a waiting period for CT production. Good stuff!
Moral of the story, Google Maps > Apple Maps
Great data and an awesome video! Would love to see a vdeo of all cars sharing the same price category. Also curious to see howthese things shake out when charging is actually reliable all around.
Great video, thanks for doing this race!
Would be interested to know if there’s another area of the country where the results would be way different, either due to charging, terrain, or some other variable.
What a great video. Made all the miles on the treadmill go by without a thought! OOS makes great stuff, this one kind of felt like grown-up Stand By Me.
Let’s see a $33,000 Ioniq 6 RWD on 18’s take them all down!!!!!!!
Thanks Ryan, Colton and Kyle!
Great covering and watched it as the end of my working week - also the length is great, don't chop it up. It was really close at the end which is the best for a tense race movie :)
I'd love to see this test each year, so see how (if) it's improving. I love watching the cannonball ones for the same reason
those 3 and a half hours went by fast, really enjoy these long videos
This was comparable if not better then a full night movie. Congrats! It was amazing to see for long trips what are the different platforms are capable of.
What a fantastic series guys. Incredibly educational and this is the kind of content that will really help with EV adoption in the future.
EV companies need to downplay the “total range at 100%” number. I understand that marketing wise it is what ICE drivers understand but the usefulness of the driving distance on a 100% charge is interesting at best and misleading at worst.
I hope they focus on and improve the overall charging curve of these vehicles. How fast my EV can DC charge from 1%-80% is a far more important metric than overall miles. The longer an EV can hold 250-350Kw during a charging session creates far more time savings on road trips than the extra mileage you may get one time off your 100% home charge.
When I roadtrip in my EV I still never charge to 100% at home because I charge up as much as I need to to comfortably get to my first charging stop and then begin the charger hopping experience. I get that for serious road warriors stopping every 150 miles is not acceptable, but for those of us with kids and pets it’s hardly a sacrifice. I just want those stops to be 1) filled with reliable charging infrastructure that delivers the kw it advertises, 2) the car charging curve to accept that max power for as long as possible before massively tapering off (up to 70%-80% would be amazing), and 3) there to be some minimal amenities where we stop for food and bathroom breaks.
Can’t wait for your next series like this.
3 spectacular hrs later and man I really enjoyed this video. I streamed it like a Netflix movie😂 and the best part was the tension building up at the end of the video. All these cars are wonderful. 🔥🔥
Thank you for posting it as one video instead of breaking it up. That was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Kyle, Coleton and Ryan.
Looking forward to next race to Vegas. Would be fun to see you do a tow to Vegas video when you get your hands on R1T, Lightning, Silverado and CyberTruck
This was just brilliant! Watched it all in one stretch! Very well done, guys 👏🏾👏🏾 👏🏾
We need the everyday man’s EV race to Vegas: Model Y, ID4, BOLT or Mach E…
but then the model Y just wins based on charging... not even a real competition... the only reason the lucid and tycoon even HAVE a chance even with EA is because they charge really fast... the ID4 and mach-E charge a good bit slower than the Tesla...add one bad charging stop to that and its not even a race anymore
Great video! I am worried about the windshield chip on the Taycan... I hope it can be easily fixed :)
Luv you guys and especially your road trips!! Grief though, practicality got motion sick with Ryan's crazy vid 🤪
Thanks for the great series. What a great ending. Thoroughly enjoyed watching! 👏
Greatest skill of Kyle is surrounding himself with awesomely nice people. Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 part mini series.
Fun to watch, I watched it in 2 parts, liked it in one part, if I had time I would have watch the entire thing! Exciting, great job guy’s ❤️ great content
Would be great to have a GPS log of the trip and then animate that on a map.
I can't believe I binge-watched hours of video about EV nerds racing to and from Las Vegas. Very nicely done!
Entertaining content! But If these cars were so close in a 12hr race, then it doesn't matter in terms of which one is a good road tripper. All of these are good.
Kyle was complaining about Lucid most of the time. But I would take the comfort of lucid any day on such long trips.
Kind of surprised me how good the Porsche did.
I figured the Tesla would do better simply due to charging statons. Like significantly better.
I'd take the Lucid myzelf. Hopefully they don't go bankrupt as for all intent and purposes I have read they are the better cars, but Tesla can pop out new cars faster with newer innovations.
Now I want to see other EVs. Seen a new vehicle on the road a month ago. Didn't know what it was as the vehicle had a logo I've never seen, but it was an EV due to the acceleration, and looked absolutely sick.
Turned out to be a Kia EV6 GT and I couldn't believe it. I detested Kias my whole life. Cars of uber woke college kids.
Crap range, but it is ridiculously fast for the price. Yet I would buy it just cause it is supposed to be really fun to deive.
@dianapennepacker6854 The lucid had a pile of issues while they filmed this, crazy unreliable. Also Kyle needed an encyclopedia of knowledge on charges to keep it close. This is why Kyle said tesla was the best at the end.
I wonder if the Tesla Model S LR would have been significantly faster than the Plaid?
As a MSLR owner who road trips constantly, I have zero doubts that it would have been faster. And not by a little.
@@AK-zd6yrI’m a mS-LR owner too and wonder why it would be much faster. Is it greater efficiency not pulling a 3rd motor and 19” wheels for more miles per kW?
@@johnpoldo8817 I understand that the motors in the MSLR are different from those in the Plaid and more efficient, especially in the rear.
There is a trivially easy way to win - use a car with an internal combustion engine.
Sorry - someone had to say it. ;)
These things are really cool toys - I'd love to have one for the purpose, but you certainly can't rely on them for anything serious.
Great race and what an ending! Congratulations on editing this beast too! 🤣
What an interesting journey! Thanks a lot for sharing this in such level of detail. Is there a particular reason why the Taycan was not driven in its most efficient „Range“ mode?
Watched the entire video. It kept the suspense all the way to the end, and what an ending indeed!
Great video with great editing to make this 6 hr experience make sense chronologically. 👏🏼 👍🏽
What an epic race! Entertaining and fun to watch!
Nice job guys, good to see these vehicles pushing their limits. Thanks
3:26:00 The ending was awsome with so close between second and third place.
Loved the long video!!! such a good time racing with friends!
Kyle....first off...THANKS SO MUCH!!!! for the content you create and what you do for the EV community. I love watching the Out of Spec channels and your content is very informative and entertaining. Second...I have an idea for you. Now that we have seen what expert road trippers can do in these cars, I think the public and I would love to see what would happen if this race was done from a different perspective. That is, making the same trip but doing as a Non-road tripping expert. Just punching in your destination and following the car's trip planner. Let's see how long it would take the car and the charging infrastructure to get just your normal Joe that knows nothing about EV road tripping to the destination and/or back. After all the goal of most, if not all, EV manufacturers is to make it as easy and simple to travel with these cars as possible. I hope you will consider my suggestion.
Unfortunately trip planning is a necessity for any EV driver. If you choose more budget options, some EVs don't even give you a competent trip planner at all (like E-GMP cars with Gen 5W infotainment system). The best solution I'd say is just to use ABRP (a better route planner) and not bother with most in-car nav or trip planning.
@@ArtiePenguin1 I have been driving a Tesla for 4 years now. Travel up and down the East Coast many times and I simply follow the Tesla default trip planning and have never had an issue. Are you saying I would have a problem in a Tesla going coast to coast? Or are you saying if you drive a non-Tesla, you have to plan your trip? Honest question.
@tomkennedy3123 No, my comment was only referring to most non-Teslas requiring trip planning. There are only a few manufacturers who do trip planning almost as good as Tesla. Some like Polestar and Porche come to mind.
Hit the like button if you spent the better part of a day watching this episode. 👍
Finally it arrived. 3h? Damm i might need to extend my work day and keep watching it.
I love road trip videos…. This was well done and very entertaining. Great job fellas!
You all make the best videos, excellent content for a Friday afternoon
To use Kyle's favorite word: EPIC video especially the ending with the Taycan and Lucid racing to the finish. I had a blast watching.
I enjoyed every tire squealing second of this!
Great race overall. I think maybe next race you guys should do a 2023 ID4 and a model 3 LFP race to Vegas. I feel like with the faster speeds of the ID4 it may stand a little bit of a chance against the model 3 LFP pack if the charging network is working well.
What a great show from all to keep the viewer engaged from beginning to the last second. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy these kind of races! Keep them going! 🔝 😊
This is the VERY FIRST video I've watched from you. And It WAS 3 Hours and 33 minutes long... I watched every second and enjoyed all of it. Thank you!🙃😃
What a blast to watch
Thank You guys
Man, This was epic! I cannot believe that I just spent all that amount of time watching this but I just loved every single minute of it. Well done to all of you and to sum up I guess you could say "it's not about the car but all about the infrastructure". super entertainment!
Excellent race guys! Very interesting & entertaining!
Model S trip planner issues: I had one trip where I was going from a ChargePoint DC fast charger near Northwood, IA, to the Tesla Supercharger in Eagan, MN. The distance is 99 miles, and the trip planner was estimating that I would get there with 74% SoC, leaving the ChargePoint with 90%. Mind you, this is on I-35 traversing much flatter terrain in southern Minnesota.
What an epic race/road trip and video. This is your best yet on the Motoring channel. Please, more of these videos! The style of editing really helped us viewers experience what you three did on that epic day.
I'd like to see a redux video and maybe do one with a $60k price limit. I'd so love to see the EV6 pitted against the Model Y.
I like how at 14:52 you can see all three guys waving their hands around recording their respective intros at the same time lol
This is the best 3.5 hour video on YT, no contest.
Please do another one of these again soon.
I learned a lot! Thank you for the video!
Great trip and interesting results.
This is the Formula one of EV racing, love these competitions!
Epic! Great video. Ryan is awesome…..his presentation skills have really improved.
You guys just showed me how far they still have to go.
Damn that Lucid Air is catching up to my 2013 hyndai elantra that gets a 520mile range on highway on gas of course, but that lucid with a range of 500 is very impressive
You guys are fricking insane!!!! I’m so jealous, and at the same time so happy for watching these 3 videos as a spectator. The last one is epic, even being a 3.5+ hours!!!!! 😅😅😅 Thank you so much for all the content specially to Kyle, but today to the three of you! Greetings from a Spaniard living in south Cal. 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
That finisher was a perfect climax!
A real great challenge...simply amazing...thanks from Italy!!!
Wow. Longest video on Out of Spec till date?
I think so! Other than livestreams
It was fun watching this after having just driven this route on our way home from Tesla Takeover to MN, of course we stopped in Zion & Moab though
Ryan cutting every corner resulted in a 20 yard advantage in front of the Lucid in the end, this is hillarious!! 🤣
