26 Gravity GT Black, EV9
They are going to be racing several EVs from Northern most part of Maine down to Key West this week, including the Gravity. This will be a GREAT video to see, whether Gravity comes out on top or not, some great info will be gained!

I'm seriously worried about this after Tom Moloughney's Gravity range test.

Fingers crossed.

I’m not sure, but that looks like Tom and Notch EV next to a black Gravity (I would guess it’s Notch’s) and they are racing too. So two Gravity’s should tell the tale, if they are both going. Notch is definitely up there as he posted a video about camping from that area this morning.

Notch did mention in a recent video something about doing a range test with Tom Moloughney. I didn't know exactly what he meant, as I thought it unlikely, but maybe this is it.
 
In think it's great that Kyle chose to take the Gravity. I think he wants it to win, as we all do.
 
I like that it appears that they might have 2 Gravity in this run - Kyle’s Green one and NotchEV’s Black one. NotchEV’s first mileage runs were a little disappointing. This might confirm if his has an issue. Also may allow for some different charging strategies between the 2 Gravity.

If NotchEV's particular Gravity did have a problem on the first range test, I'd imagine that Lucid would have been all over it, and have fixed it by now.

I would lose this race because I wouldn’t be able to keep my foot out of the go pedal.

Actually, since DC fast charging is so quick at adding miles, it's generally faster to use that pedal generously. The little bit of extra charging time, especially at low SOC, adds range faster than driving slow does.

Side note, I enjoyed the videos he made about going to all the Renys locations in Maine to have the passport stamped

One should stick to CCS and one to Tesla.

if there are indeed two Gravity's, it would be great to have a 5 and 7 seater compared. I believe NotchEV's is a 5.
 
Could have invited me…I live like 10 min away from Notch even tho not a Maine frequenter. Could have added the proper all season tire comparison to show range loss when going aftermarket.

Anyway, I was already told I would be killed at home for taking the weekend so…all good.
 
This image is from a post on X by Nick Twork. It shows Kyle Connor charging during the 3 row ev race to Key West.

22 mi/min at 400 kw.
Isn't that slow!? Especially on DCFC?

When I charge at home on level 2, I get 34 mi/min at 11 kw (48 amps with 240v).

Although the time remaining, if he is charging to 100% is good. So, I'm missing something.

I am guessing your charge rate is per hour, please check the fine print.
