Jordan complaining about efficiency while driving 85-90 mph.
Great road trip by Jordan . These Out of Spec guys are immune to speeding tickets it seems
It's so cool there. I was there 2017. Driving from Denver to Las Vegas, around Area 51 then to Wendover and back to Denver over Wyoming. Really really nice views. I was driving a 2016 VW Jetta from Hertz from the Airport Denver. Once in a lifetime experience for me. I am from Germany. Born in 1985.
Fyi, Nephi is said like WiFi. (Knee-Fi)
46:41 seeing the wheel spin into position was cool.
Absolutely drone shots add an extra element of interest & excitement to your already great videos.
love the road trips, thanks for the ride
Absolutely Yes. Drone shots are worth it. Love your road trips, Jordan. Don't change a thing.
I have had that happen on my 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD, 35KW is the fall back on cable cooling failure, had this happen about 5 time in the last year, but what I kept forgetting is to check on which chargers on the location details are having issues, the routing will detail what stations are having issues so best to check before plugging in.
45:51 I think stopping for drone shots is always worth it, especially with scenery like that, as it helps provide context. Co-incidentally, Out Of Spec Dave just posted a video showing his first use of drones...
look at all the garbage on the freeway in Los Angeles, way to go Mayor Bass
Good good good oneJordan Ty for ur effort
Another banger Jordan!! OOS Motoring is still my favorite channel on TH-cam.
Quick question, what audio are you using in these videos? If anyone has any ideas please let me know :D
Jordan, you are always awesome, level headed and overall the coolest Out of Spec employee! Thank you for showing us how fast you were going when you were above the Califonia speed limit of 70mph.
You might want to check the navigation settings to make sure you’re not telling it to avoid interstates.
agree about the Virgin River Valley - it is really impressive (if you get the chance) to be up at Commercial Truck height - you can really appreciate the flow of the water.
Mesquite also has an EA station that's a lot more convenient than at least one of the Superchargers (the one at the Casino). Overall, outside of Barstow and Vegas, most of chargers are fairly convenient to access from the freeway.
Drone shots for sure.
Pro-tip: The reason you don't have to wait in line at V3 Superchargers is because Trip Planner routes a lot of Teslas to V2 Superchargers. You'd better hope that you don't get your wish that Tesla "fixes" their trip planning software to send everyone to clog up the V3s when only enthusiasts care about the 3-5 minute difference in charging time. And no, the Trip Planner software should not be different just because he's in a Cybertruck.
Charge handle Cooldown idea: you need one of the towels that are for cooling your neck... you wet it, snap to super chill then wrap... as it warms up snap again and it will rapid chill the cloth....
You guys should stop in Hurricane / Sand Hollow some time to see which EV best handles the sand to get to their Top of the World. Maybe a crossover with Matt's off-road recovery 😁
OOS Dave once mentioned that the cable gauge was the only physical indicator between L2 & L3 chargers. L2 was the thicker gauge if I recall correctly. 53:58
You answered my question, thanks.
I have heard there is a silver trim piece that makes it easy to distinguish from a distance
you give great insight on just about everything other than what you paying for each charging session i would like that information
Assume .35c in the rural areas and .44-.55 in the city.
Tesla wants people on the V2's.
Maybe. It's actually quite a good idea if you're after a longer lunch stop, but there should be an easy option to avoid V2s if you're in a rush.
But why? To prevent faster battery degradation and warranty claims?
@@artemZinn More likely to spread the load between sites and decrease potential congestion at V3 sites. Perhaps they haven't optimised their algorithm yet though; it didn't look overly busy at the V3 sites.
Huge miss not having V4 chargers and larger battery on Cybertruck. I have delayed my delivery for this and the 20k foundation tax with no FSD currently
Its a good thing to show off these routes. I doubt I'll get to drive them anytime soon
While in Salt Lake City be sure to stop by Kindigit Design and see if Dave Kindig, the greatest Custom car builder in the world, can make the Cybertruck look better.
Maybe I buy a Tesla Cybertruck used in 2045.
1:01:44 I think aggressive speeding might've had something to do with shaving off an hour.
Display time zone with the time.
love the motoring videos !
FYI, Nephi is pronunced "Nee-Fy"
My guess is to why the software is routing you to 150kw Chargers for the health of the battery. Charging at 150 KW versus 250 KW is less stressful on the battery pack.
Obviously, a software upgrade needed for the CT Navigation in addition to Autopilot and FSD.
90mph u kept hitting is also not helping range…..
DRONE SHOTS ARE ALWAYS WORTH IT
Great Video!
Is it just me or in a straight line the steering wheel is a little bit offset to the left, for example at 7:36?
@martinatanasov1279: I thought so at first too. But, it is clearly the sunlight that causes the steering wheel effect to look like it is off center.
This kind of indulgent speeding doesn’t really save much time but it does waste energy and cause more traffic disruptions.
Rain likes to fall on mountain tops. You are in the valleys.
have you had any problems with the beast?
go for drone
He talked about elevation a LOT but he never said what the elevation was vs the previous stop which would have helped understand things more.
Back for a bit
lol how he says Nephi
For once Kyle is wrong go team drone
I'm wondering if you are potentially damaging your battery trying to force the battery to take more, even potentially damaging the charger. The charging is slowing down to protect your truck. The work around of placing a wet rag on the cable sensor seems to be circumventing a safety device that protects your truck and the charger. Have you talked with Tesla concerning this practice? I have a Ford Lightening and I would never do anything that would place the truck or charger at risk. I don't hate the Cyber Truck. We have quite a few here in Nevada. They look cheap to me. I have to be honest. They look butt ugly. You guys are always in a rush. Slow down and enjoy life. Note: was just reading that placing a wet rag on the supercharger cable sensor can damage the supercharger.
The trick with wet towel is not about battery protection, battery has a lot of temperature sensors inside it and Truck can limit input/output based on that.
However the wet towel simply cools Temp sensor in the Cable Handle and it has nothing to do with battery temperature thus not triggering current dropdown by the charger.
Fooling the handle temp sensor can damage the charger by overheating the cable itself and/or parts of handle.
But the Truck will not allow the charger to put more than it can take.
Why do you need a rag on the charger it will make the water on the rag just dry out
The rag stays wet but near the plastic the water evaporates, cooling the rag and the handle. Not recommended (because of potential for overheating of Supercharger cable or plug pins) but it seems to work.
Keep wetting it so that evaporative cooling is working great!
Man, if I have to charge so many times like this, I will never buy an electric car. Not worth it.
“Lovely”? It’s the most grotesque new vehicle in the entireworld.
Hey it's "teh-sluh". Not "teh-zluh
Fyi makes you sound ignorant
Sad all the crap you have to n-rig just to drive one of these monstrosities.
wtf are you talking about? You don’t have to rig anything. Do you own one?
CyberJunk
sir you need to stop passing on the left.....its against the law....but do you think your above the law?
You mean passing on the *right*. And I think that's a law that's going to keep being broken as long as people aren't following the other law that says be in the rightmost lane your speed needs.
"he's more of a holiday inn express kind of guy" lmao
KYLE is more of a Blue Oyster BAR guy.
he Slow dances w/ Jordan.
Totally worth a drone flight. I can only imagine driving through there. 46:07
Jordan, love the cinematography and care you put into how you film, keep it up! Bring on the drone shots and quality music selections, it's great to see content from Out of Spec that is so polished.
Well, I do understand Kyle‘s running gun style of videography production values are always worthwhile there’s someplace between using an iPhone camera and MKBHD and his 8K red scarlet cameras. Also, drone shots are always worthwhile if they’re well integrated.
Kyle likes only videos with cars, charging. He might say a word or two about surroundings. The drone footage is very awesome. Your videos' touch makes a huge difference.
KYLE shares his Butt plug w/ Jordan.
Love it when you film drone shots of our beautiful world! I understand why Kyle doesn’t like to screw around with them, but I still love them!
It seems the recent software takes the daily charge limit into consideration when route planning. I’ve found setting that to 70-80% prevents the ridiculous 50 minute stop estimates.
Tesla needs to add some adjustable routing preferences. It's the same thing when I road trip in my Model 3. I almost never follow it's routing. V2's over V3's is common. It often plans long charging sessions which are not my preferred way to travel. Also it seem to always want to arrive with a min SOC in 30s. 🙄
YES. I can’t imagine roadtripping CT given these issues and consumption you have to stop often for over 30m and doing custom routing instead of suggested nav is crazy
Excellent video. I purchased a brand new Trans Am in Germany and I picked it up in between duty stations from Dick Poe Pontiac here in El Paso. My new duty station was Ft. Irwin. During my first 4 day weekend I decided to check out Vegas. On the way to State Line, Primm, I opened up the TA to see what it was capable of. Traffic wasn't really heavy and it was a straight shot approaching Primm. I got it up to 156 mph. But coming up behind me was a Porsche 911. I tried to out run it. In the blink of an eye this guy got into the fast lane and he passed me like I was going slow. I was doing 156 mph. Yeah, I was young and dumb. I'm currently driving a new Chevy Bolt EV lol. Keep up the gr8 work. 🚗🇺🇸🔌⚡👍
The Cybertruck should also have a filter on the super charge routing to only set for version 3 supercharger waypoints.. I have that set on my Model Y only version 3's.
All teslas should have this feature, not just the cybertruck
Care to tell us how you did that?
How to filter that? I only see 3, 2 or 1 Lightning when searching for Chargers.
Oh cool. How?
I can't believe all tesla owners don't know this. Take the time and Read the manual, lol
I did.
Jordan, drone shots make a video great. Your general video shots have improved Kyle's lazy driving style of dirty windshields and that is getting old to be honest.
Thanks for the content Jordan 🙌
drone shots are awesome and desirable
Nephi is pronounced "Knee Fi"
I appreciate the care and attention you put into your videos. You make a great host as well. Your sense of humor shows and you seem to have a measured temper and are usually in good spirits. Thank you for what you do for the channel!
It’s good these videos exist. I didn’t realize I would never be able to tolerate the charge planning bullshit. I got irritated about it from my couch. 😂
“Not great” efficiency? You’re going 87 mph!
Kyle is wrong about drone shots not being worth stopping, & / or slowing down. In my opinion, drone shots are always worth stopping, & / or slowing down.
Great video Jordan. No disrespect to Kyle however drone shots are worth the time.
Kyle is wrong. It is so worth it! That is a beautiful part of AZ.
All this complaining about no FSD/AP is ridiculous.
Tesla made it extremely clear that the first CTs would not have them on delivery. Don’t like it, don’t take delivery.
Furthermore, it’s obvious that they need loads more footage/data to feed into the system in order to train for CT. That will require more CTs on the roads.
Plus they have to prioritise their engineers on the majority of the fleet - 3, Y, S and X.
Have a little patience.
Re Cybertruck sightings… I live next to a Tesla holding lit for the South Bay Area in Calif. dozens and dozens of Cyber Trucks have been flowing thru the lot and I see the, multiple times a day. I have had the experience of sitting at a large intersection literally surrounded by Teslas. This area must have the highest density of Teslas anywhere.
I think setting up a new Red Bull style F-1, high-speed drone shot/sequence that auto-launches from the bed of the Cybertruck, follows you, does some programmed pan,zoom, etc. shots and lands back in the truck bed would be great. :)
I absolutely love that drive through the Virgin River Gorge because it’s an incredible area and if you are leaving beautiful Utah, it’s your last blast of beautiful country!
I highly recommend Chill Mode. I’m getting less than 400 Wh and it also takes away that jerkiness. Comfort setting makes it smoother on the bumps.
The way that you and that dude from NC try so hard to be like kyle and use his same "phrases" is so cringe...
Def worth the jordan touch to the videos. Keep them coming, you need more screen time!
The gorge and the Cajon Pass are the best parts of that road trip! Drone shots would be cool
I wouldn’t assume the cyber truck has good suspension
Saw my first Cybertruck in the wild yesterday. Just south of Sedalia, Colorado on Highway 105 which roughly parallels I-25. And it was wrapped in black. Very cool.
👍great
Yes to Drone flights. That area is magnificent.
Drone shots are always worth it :)
loved the music in this video
Drone shots are SO worth it!
Question? I was wondering the hotel that you’re at there was a table with chairs, were those chairs and table made for adults?
Great trip video Jordan! I agree with you about drone shots etc. When I think of tech channels, the differences between the “big guys” I watch like MKBHD that have millions of subscribers and smaller channels that are still successful with hundreds of thousands of subs is production quality. One of the reasons many of us loved the old Top Gear was how amazing they made the cars look using creative videography.
Thank you for all the realism Jordan. I always enjoy your videography as well as your honesty. Though I see from an earlier comment that you can filter to V3 chargers, of course the car you would think would try to minimize your travel times, but I believe Tesla tries to minimize their costs by avoiding demand charges and routing vehicles by default to V2 chargers.
Or they want to minimize battery degradation from fast charging to avoid excessive warranty claims?
You're wasting Kyle's money with that hotel!
Thank You Everybody for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth....
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste
🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤ 🕊
46:35 you open the door and the wheel turns on it's own. Steer by wire doing something purposeful there?
Hello Jordan
I have to say. I still love my CyberTruck. Thanks for doing these videos!
Open the charge port door while you're still in the Cybertruck. Takes a split-second. Then you won't have to fiddle with the button on the charger or wait for it to open.
I honestly think those chargers that quickly derate to roughly 35kW had their handles/cables wrapped with wet towels before. Causing damage to them.
PLEASE DON'T CIRCUMNAVIGATE SAFETY DEVICES WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH 250 KILOWATTS OF POWER!
Yes add some drone shots. BTW, I’m heading from Ft Worth through El Paso in February. Where should I go after EP? I’m thinking San Diego, Vegas, Utah, elsewhere. Not sure what the prettiest EV friendly route would be. Any suggestions?
It's a shame Tesla dumped the whole charger team. I guess nobody will be getting to the bottom of the issue of chargers dropping to low power any time soon. It seems like you spend the whole trip hopping from charger to charger and thinking about almost nothing else. Hardly an advert for EVs.
Great unbiased log. You can think whatever you like about design and so on, but one has to conclude Tesla did release an unfinished product. Also the charging situation is certainly showcasing short term strategic decisions about charger specifications, because of which Tesla now has to curtail their product. I mean boosting amperage to 700A is certainly not the way to go and I wonder what's long term issues for their hardware, if they keep on running those chargers at or above product specifications.
You know what they say about bad pizza and bad sex?
