I imagine the car wasn't moving for the entirety of the 2 and half weeks. Drivers probably had to sleep.

Even accounting for 10 hours a day to rest, that still only comes out to an average speed of 4.4MPH over 10 days. This is obviously mostly charge time I'd imagine, but you still need to account for that time when you're embarking on a trip.

I'm curious how much of that really is charge time. They may have left it charging all through the daylight hours and then drove 60 miles every evening.
