The mileage is about the same as the Tundra, except it needs the best gas you can get. I had a 70 Coupe with a CRR engine, which is the LS6 from a rare 70 Chevelle. 4 to 6 mpg...
That is all this guy does then gets Po'd when someone stirs his pot. LOL The other guy that think I hate EV's need to take a chill pill and learn to tell the difference between a wind up and reality.
Of course it is, all of the above. When they threaten to basically ban your product unless you make something else you make something else.
Exactly why I said no thanks to an EV rental when we go to South Carolina next month. We might visit family in Florida and I'm not going to jerk around looking for places to charge, or hope I can plug it in at my son's apartment which I can't, or my brother's house with some kind of extension cord. Stopping for gas would be a pleasure compared to the hassle of charging an EV. Oh and if we stay at an Airbnb, I have to search for places that have provisions for charging. Another hassle, another strike.
This completely. I have extreme examples that extend beyond the available range in adverse conditions, but the network is there to cover it. Like you said and I've said many times, I've taken this as being a EV enthusiast forum. It shouldn't be a constant battle to defend our life decisions. At the end of the day for me it's about the love of cars, regardless of what they're powered by. There's no doubt in my mind that you embrace that as well. I just want to do a burnout in every power source possible.
I think that you just suck at reading people and are so blinded by hating EVs that you can't see he happens to be a car guy who also likes EVs.
I see too that you're a man of culture.
Wrong again... I don't stir up anything. Talking about EVs in the EV section is what it is for.
You have this totally wrong. Instead of saying EV being offered as an alternative they want to ban ICE.
What you say is true. But that's today.
Well today I didn't drive at all. However last week I went to Alabama and back to see a number of clients and clocked about 1200 miles, most of that on monday and Friday - so it wouldn't work for me but I am pretty unique.
Your points are valid but are also very region specific. For the purposes of this dialogue, I checked Supercharger availability in the Chesapeake Bay area:
I said EVs are being offered because of tightening fuel economy standards. It’s easier than meeting these requirements
For sure, EVs are not for every use case; nothing is. I would be curious to plan your trip via the Tesla GPS.Well today I didn't drive at all.

It would work fine for my wife - I think her commute is like 12 miles one way. However the ROI would never work - our gas here is cheap. And I would never do one on a road trip - too easy to fill the tank in either the Rav4 or my truck and know I have just about 400 miles range and there is a gas station in every small town I will come to.
If there was a cheap EV that I could buy to just use around town, I would certainly consider it, but not at current pricing. I am also fairly convinced our grid is on bear threads, so that's a hesitation mark also. Not to mention they lock me out of all the controls and repairs, so that just irks me to no end.
Gassing up is no hassle. I pass nothing but gas stations. There is a nice one about 2 miles from my house. My wife will tell you gassing up is no hassle either, since she hasn't done that in about 25 years since we got married. I fill her tank every weekend.
Thanks man for your response. I never get tired of looking at pics of the 68-72 vintage.
Only 1 charger in Williamsburg, Va Beach and the Eastern shore?? Va Beach has tons of people in the summer. There’s bound to be many Teslas. I guess the charger at the southern end of the Eastern Shore is to allow EVs to charge up to get across the Bay Bridge Tunnel.
