I'm impressed by the headline that says he drove 2,250 miles, 17 hours straight. That's over 132 MPH!

So, no electronic limit? (j/k)

I'm most impressed at what must be an absolutely enormous buffer left at 0%

No. The headline says Drove 17 hours straight—on one leg of a 2,250-mile journey.

The one leg was only 100 miles long, so only 5.88 mph for that leg. Autonomy+ can't go faster than that yet, which completely justifies the decision of many here (including me) to wait for RAP1/LIDAR.

They edited that headline since it was first posted. Originally it said Drove 2,250 miles, 17 hours straight

The most interesting part to me is this photo -- assuming this is Esker Silver. There are so few "real world" photos of Esker Silver...as far as I know, they haven't had an Esker Silver at any of the block parties...

If that’s Esker Silver it’s sharp as hell. Very metallic and reflective. I like it!

Very metallic and reflective? Hey, just like the Cybertruck!
(I'm kidding)

Me too- I'll go with it if that's it.

That's Half Moon Grey in full sun.

That's Half Moon Grey in full sun.

That's what I thought too. Too dark even in full sun to be Esker Silver.

"On ONE LEG of a 2250-mile journey" (capitalized emphasis mine)... NOT the Entire 2250...the idea being the 17 hours was relatively easy due to the ride quality, seat comfort and UHF system.

Again, they edited the headline an hour or two after posting to correct it. The original headline was Drove 2,250 miles, 17 hours straight which I thought was quite funny.
