[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you have to ask an EV owner for this information. You can search for charging stations along your route on google maps and do a little simulation in your head of whether it's worth sitting around for 30 minutes or more on your specific trip. For me the answer is a clear no. For non-tesla electric vehicles (I refuse to buy a tesla) there are very few charging stations even between somewhere like DC and virginia beach. If I want to drive an EV spiritedly and/or get stuck in a bunch of traffic, I would have to constantly bite my nails about running out of charge on the way. And yeah, sitting around for 30 minutes anywhere SUCKS. A restaurant? Who wants to stop and eat fast food when they're trying to make time on a trip. It's bad enough pulling off and spending 7 minutes getting gas. Turning a 3 hour trip into a 3 hour 40 minute trip is just not acceptable for me[/quote]

The "I refuse to buy a Tesla" crowd really confuse/amuse me - you are only hurting yourself!   Not being able to afford it is one thing (own that) but i don't understand people still buying $50k+ ICE cars - are these the people who renovated their stables once the model T Ford came out?   Also, buy American.  Tesla is the most all-American car brand available.[/quote]

Sorry, Tesla's just not my thing. I just ordered a 90k ICE car. Is it faster in a straight line than a model 3 performance? No. Will it hold up better under constant spirited driving and get me from DC to Virginia Beach without any stops to fill up? Yes. Does it look cooler? Hell yeah.

I'm still waiting for a GOOD car company to come out with an electric car with the same range as a Tesla. I predict the Audi E-Tron GT will get there in a few years. Comparing an E-tron GT to a Tesla Plaid is like comparing a victoria's secret model to a local hooters girl[/quote]

Tesla plaid is the fastest production car in existence.  Goes 0 to 60 in under 2 secs. Comparing an E-tron GT to the Plaid is like comparing a middle aged jogger to an Olympic track and field runner.  The only cars that can beat the Plaid in acceleration are 2+ million hypercars.   Victoria’s Secret angels have been canned.

I own a Tesla Model S, p100d, and my other car is a Ferrari 458 Spyder.  The Tesla aka Mom car can easily beat the Ferrari (but the Ferrari is a collectible and awesome).  Waiting for the Tesla Roadster and the after the plaid whatever with 500+ Range - Teslas are a great value for the price:)[/quote]
