Tesla Achieves Autonomous Coast-to-Coast Cannonball Record
A 2024 Tesla Model S running FSD 14.2.2.3 with A14 hardware completed a 3,081-mile coast-to-coast Cannonball Run from Redondo Beach, Los Angeles to midtown Manhattan in 58 hours 22 minutes, averaging 64 mph and spending ten hours charging, reporters said. The trip, led by journalist Alex Roy with Warren Ahner and Paul Pham, handled winter conditions and required periodic camera cleaning, marking the first EV completion under Musk's location parameters and highlighting long-distance FSD capability.
Key Points
- 1Completes 3,081-mile autonomous Cannonball Run in 58 hours 22 minutes with ten hours charging
- 2Demonstrates FSD 14.2.2.3 and A14 hardware can sustain long-distance driving under winter conditions
- 3Encourages fleet operators to reassess long-haul autonomy testing and robotaxi deployment for electric vehicles
Scoring Rationale
Practical demonstration drives relevance and operational insight, but impact is limited by single-trip evidence and single-source reporting.
