The Sunstrider completed the 3,000-mile Cannonball Run in 13 days , 15 hours , and 19 minutes .
It's the first time that a solar-powered car has completed the route in record time.
The vehicle is made of welded-together tubing, corrugated plastic, various 3D printed parts, and a homemade 320 -cell battery pack.
The team says the vehicle cost them around $12,000 to build and 90 percent of it was funded with their own money.
The team battled high heat in the desert and had to replace the charge controller when it broke.
They may try driving a new solar-powered car on a route through Alaska or along the Pan-American Highway next.
