Kyle and I agreed to post our videos today but Kyle ended up not finishing the editing of his video in time, so I couldn't include the link. He'll post his video in a couple of days and I'll add the link in the description as soon as he does.

I don’t go the movies anymore. I just watch 90 minute EV-related videos 😊
-
Out of Spec Mom still changing his diapers. I spit out my coffee that one! 😂
-
Ford should just stop all advertising they have for the Lighting and just use the part of this video with you heating up the pizza on the road. That is so cool! The next time someone wants to talk about how long it takes to charge an EV, I'm just going to send them this clip!!!!
-
After a 1,000 miles, a difference of 4 to 6 minutes is a dead heat. Great video.
-
OMG pizza oven for a car. My life has changed forever.
-
"You never want to leave a pepperoni on the table." Words to live by!!!!
-
"I was driving electric back when Out of Spec Mom was changing Kyle's diapers" 🤣
-
EA being even comparable over 1000 miles is impressive, considering how poorly rated they have been in the past. Great content! Thanks.
-
Fresh pizza, and a cup of coffee in the middle of the night. You guys are rocking the road trip!
-
Honestly I was more fascinated by the pizza saga than the EV part lol!
-
IN-FREAKIN-CREDIBLE! I just want a Lightning now. What an awesome race. No one else is doing content like this. This is Top Gear level competition and im so here for it!
-
It always blows my mind how close all the states are on the east coast, multiple states on one charge!
-
Tom has a camp kitchen in his lightning lol
-
It was pleasure to leave you the charger at Stafford!!! Good vidéo!!!
-
Haha, Pete's Lucid hat is the perfect fashion accessory for this challenge!
-
I think you all summed it up well at the meeting place. You need to get out and stretch and take a break. My dad was raving about this hybrid that has 600 miles of range. I told him there's no way I could drive 600 miles straight.
-
Loved it. 3 mins is basically a photo finish after 18+ hours.
-
Overnight definitely helped. Did almost the same trip on a busy summer weekend in 2023. To avoid the EA congestion i used some of the new Circle K stations.
-
Damn, guys - that was a Great video! and Tom doing the Pizza Oven on the console was Epic!
