• From 1:15:00 to 1:27:00 multiple cars dealing with heat and switching stalls trying to find ones that put out more. The Model X team even pours cold water on the connector and cable trying to cool them down.
• 1:40:00 - Model X having tire pressure issues (too much due to heat)
• But at this point the order is still: Gravity, SC Gravity, Model X, Escalade IQ, Rivian R1S, Hyundai Ioniq 9, ID Buzz
• 1:44:00 SC Gravity running without climate control to conserve energy. They're baking with all the greenhouse glass.
* 1:47:20 Gravity backup camera still stuck on an image from hours ago
• 1:50:00 Car stopped, so they switched handles and it was fine.
• A few moments later, Gravity overheats and charging rate reduces.
• They shoot water into the front grill trying to cool it down, to no effect. So, they take off looking to cool down while driving and look for another charger.
• Then they lose 5 minutes waiting in traffic to get out of the parking log. Some sketchy maneuvers, not shown, discussed.
• After calling some engineers (Lucid I assume) they're going to go into Sprint mode to get more aggressive battery cooling. Interesting.
• 1:56:00 Gravity team decides to stop at a Tesla SC since that won't overheat things.
• 1:58:00 Gravity teams learns SC Gravity is stopping at the crowded Buckee's charger where Gravity team got stuck in traffic. Hmmm.
• 2:05:00 The Tesla SC the ID.Buzz pulls into goes into temporary closure (ouch!)
• 2:07:30 SC Gravity hits traffic but gets to a V4 SC
• 2:08:20 The Escalade IQ is still playing the charger swapping game, then the Rivian runs into a derated Tesla SC station since all chargers are in use
• 2:11:20 The Model X bribes another car to leave with $20, lol.
• At 2:15:00, Kyle explains that after talking with Lucid engineering, the overheating message isn't battery thermals, but probably charge port temperature. Kyle wonders if the adapter is bad (pins look OK). Data looks noisy to the engineers. Luckily, they won't need the adapters for their next 2 chargers, but thinking they can use the old water trick.
• 2:17:00 the SC Gravity is still in second place.
• The ID.Buzz is 2 hours behind the 6th place vehicle.
• 2:22:20 Gravity is running without climate to its second to last charging stop. Overheating forcing them to cut it close. A few minutes later they plug in and pour a little water (after previously promising Tesla they wouldn't do the wet rag trick), claiming it's the same as raining outside.
• 2:25:50 The Gravity team thinks they have a 40 minute lead! Cooling doesn't work, so they switch stalls. That doesn't help, though.
• 2:28:00 Escalade pulls into an Ionna stall near Daytona Beach, expecting great charging. Gets 345kW
• 2:30:00 Third stall doesn't help the lead Gravity, so they do the brake/2-button reset. And that works, somewhat. Kyle "It's always like that with Lucid. I love them, but the cars are not reliable." They end getting 150kW.
• 2:33:30 The Model X team doesn't think they can catch either Gravity, so they're focused on staying ahead of the Escalade IQ. At about the same time the Hyundai Ioniq passes the Rivian, but after charging they expect to swap positions again.
• 2:35:00 Lead Gravity still doing the plug/unplug thing, but struggling with charging, then changes stalls. And then the backup camera decides to work! And that final swap seems to work as they get 220kW. Then yet another headlight error. They burned 30 minutes, down to 10 minute lead over the SC Gravity
• 2:42:25 The Model X is charging well, but Tesla is reporting a 5 minute wait time for a stall, yet there are over a dozen stalls empty.
* 2:45:05 Model X team is about 35 miles behind SC Gravity, and about 50 miles behind the lead Gravity. Escalade is 40 miles behind, but they have a lot of juice in the tank.
* 2:51:00 ID.Buzz gives up on the SC station, goes to another charging location.
• 2:53:20 The reboot fixed the backup camera. Lead Gravity pulls into last charging stop.
