amp up Tesla so one can use AC for 500 mile range drives, be awesome & make some for rentals nationwide

I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem like this "new record" has any real importance.
What would make a lot more sense, would be to do second test, over the same route, but driving in a traditional manor. Then let's see what the results are. To my way of thinking, that would provide way more "useable" data.
Come on, who drives 25mph, doesn't use their brakes and doesn't accelerate.
All this really was, was just an endurance test, nothing more, nothing less. And, very little necessary information was generated, other than maybe some bragging rights, for the two fellows who did the driving.
Stu, you may want to suggest a "re-due" on their little experiment. And this time, ask if they could provide some actual significant information.

I'm all for electric cars. They simply are the future and so much more efficient and potentially faster and more reliable than ICE cars. But travelling at 25 mph on flat roads without braking much is just a pointless exercise. Nobody drives like this. Why not drive 5 mph? You can always go slower.

Good news in general, but driving at 24.2 mph for 452 miles in the US is probably not something inner city cabs or local route, UPS drivers could manage.

Not sure how I can use this info to improve my milage. I already knew a lot of efficient driving techniques. But I didn't know Tesla had a reward program for referrals. I probably won't buy a Model X, but I definitely want a Model 3 because I have been waiting over 30 years for a practical EV (cheaper overall than any other type), and I am running out to time.

Do this in a modified golf cart with equal capacity and see how far it gets.

Below the minimum speed limit on hi way and not realistic travel time for that distance.

@jayedwin98020 My feeling exactly. As this took place in Denmark the "record" has also been reported by Danish news media and those reports that have read all forget to mention the slow speed, so I supposed for some the achievement is now the new benchmark for what can be done. To be fair it most be said that most of the reports I read did state the amount of driving time used, so some will have picked up on the low speed only it seems the journalists either missed it to choose to do so.

Okay, not a realistic way of driving, but if you halve the distance to account, that still comes out at a round trip of over 200 miles, which isn't bad if your plans for the day are a round trip from Baltimore to Washington DC.

Of course this is not intended to be a realistic pattern of driving in the US or anywhere else, but it's a great example of the potential of electric cars and a fun stimulus to more research. Keep the developments coming, folks!

I like it! No boasting about zero emissions either!renewables can so charge this buggy up! Three moving part drive train! Looking good!
