RE: 51 hours from Los Angeles to New York...

From your linked article:

"D'Souza and Hart managed the record through a combination of absolute discipline and a bit of luck. They explain to The Verge that they only stopped to eat once during the trip (they otherwise subsisted on snacks) and had to maintain a rigid nap schedule to keep driving around the clock. And of course, there's the not-so-small matter of optimizing the car's range and charging opportunities. They had to know when to ignore the car's stop-and-charge recommendations, and when they could afford to invoke air conditioning without using too much battery power."

Not my idea of a family vacation (holiday), and certainly not a business trip!

If I was "poor" and can't afford airline or train fare, I'd load up my $400 (four hundred) '65 Ford station wagon with my tool box, my bicycle, a blanket and two spare tires. (And some No-Doz.) Drive all day and night from Green Bay, WI to Los Angeles for the AES convention. Oh, wait, I DID that in about '75 - and I didn't have to buy a Tesla!
