I do it in the Tesla as well. Then I laugh.
Then I give it part throttle, and .... Whee!
I know right? Ive only borrowed these cars and IMMEDIATELY became obvious that was a game changer.
Until you actually add it up few realize how much time they spend fueling - detractors will talk about pump time only - not the trip to the gas station, and back home prior to leaving on a trip or the off ramp to onramp time, they never ever need to use a bathroom or eat on any trip of any length.
The dialog between owners and detractors is always amusing, and peoples descriptions of their own use as much or more so on both ends is amusing to watch.
It was/is laughable how first gen Tesla owners talk about "restful" hour plus charging stops (not you Jeff but others have) This kills credibility instantly.
Clearly not a benefit and such dialog makes Tesla/ EV owners sound look stupid.
It's equally laughable hearing detractors describe every trip they take as 8 hours plus at 85 MPH with 5 people that drains the tank to fumes before taking a lone 15 minute nascar style fuel pitstop. (see road trips with Hitler) They then claim two 20 minute supercharging stops as " not workable" for them while ignoring the in town benefits entirely or pretending the dont exist.
Makes the detractors (especially those with no experience) look and sound equally stupid.
Owning only Ice vehicle, but getting to drive EV's because my employees buy them is a hugely cool and gives me perspective owners of model S, 3, volt, and leafs have without committing to them.
