    At 4:02, the source you cite about the EV range issue only applies in -20F weather. March is not producing that low of a temperature in the US. The COLDEST states during the entire cannon ball run will only be at a LOW of like, 40F in March, well within the operational temperature for an EV. Come on man. You tried to claim unbiased research to get out of that too.

    The Run was inspired by the Cannonball Run, so yeah, the story of the game was purposely made to imitate it. In the main version, you can even see your average speed in each event (according to reviews and footage, i only played the Wii version) EDIT: i played it recently and yes it does show average speed + a timer that shows your collective time of all stages, meaning that you can set times for the entire run, even though it's broken into chapters and stages

    3200 miles / 24 hours = 133mph average. But, when you get stuck in denser traffic, you'll have to make up all the time spent below 133mph on longer straightaways. And these days, with as much traffic as we have now, I'd say that those records likely won't be broken.

    The only way that a sub 24hour run could be achieved would be by hiring out sections of the highway where the most traffic accumulates so that the car could blast through those sections (but it’s too expensive and complicated to do)

    The biggest traffic areas would be leaving Manhattan, and entering LA. If you leave Manhattan at 3 AM (midnight in LA) you would hypothetically get to the outside of LA around 11 PM which would greatly reduce traffic in those areas.

By myself, with no technological assists, superfast car or excessive speeding. Just lots of focused driving in my '95 Pontiac Grand Am, and typically 1-2 hour naps day or night, whenever I got too tired to continue.
