...In stark contrast to that brashly illegal 1970s competition [Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash], we've got no radar detector, no CB radio with which to monitor the location of Smokey Bear. For us, these measures are unnecessary. Extreme speed results in greater battery drain and extended time parked at Superchargers, and the charge rate drops considerably the longer you're plugged in...
