Teslas would have fared prob baby better, but what a joke. Driving in cold weather significantly reduces range, which requires driving around without heat in order to preserve range. Infrastructure for charging is almost non-existent in many parts of the country, and it takes loooooong amounts of time to get a descent charge.

Have fun charging 12+ times next time you need to go on a road trip, lol.[/quote]

How many people do 1500 miles road trips? I haven't even done it in a gas powered car. The longest trip I have done was 700 miles. 
That doesn't affect most people. [/quote]
I’m middle aged and have regularly done roundtrip road trips that distance: DC-Maine, DC-Atlanta, etc. Also done cross country.

Seems like it would be a lot easier in a Tesla and the main issue is that the Electrify America charging network sucks. My presumption is that the issue because it was done by VW as part of a legal settlement and not to serve customers, which is why so many are broken/don’t work. [/quote]
