I’m going to have to call BS on this, I just clicked on 30+ sites in NM/AZ and every single one had bathrooms/food/coffee/wifi, many had lodging. Looked pretty legit from what I saw, and in my experience the map is pretty accurate.

Sure, but how much time did you spend last year filling up, waiting for a college kid to over-tighten your oil plug and up-charge you for full synthetic oil, brakes, timing belt, head gasket? An EV would be zero unless you’re on a road trip.

bahahahahha

Its Tesla not Google, they dont want your info except maybe for charging data to help the network function. Dont want to download the app? Cool, one less EV at a Tesla charging station. Its kind of a necessity at this point for CCS owners, your choices are few and far between. 

It works flawlessly with a Tesla, and since you’re already signed in (the phone is the key) it allows you to save the “swipe” of a credit card. Just plug in and go, cost pops up on the app as well as your screen. Card readers dont always work on the first 3 swipes, the chips take longer than writing a check, and…

The network just got opened up to CCS cars (via “magic dock”), so far just in the New England area. Tesla said they would open up more in the coming months in an agreement to receive tons of federal charging money, however its a limited number of chargers. I want to say, only 25% of superchargers will apply, but thats…

After owning CCS enabled EVs for 6 years, suffering through a network of 20 different companies - each with different logins (which never seem to remember me w/ auto-sign-in), stations in various states of disrepair, drivers who dont sign in to Plugshare (so you have to wait for a busy stall), and overall inconvenient…

If your phone is dead then your fallback is a Tesla card thats in your wallet at all times. If your phone is dead and you lose your wallet, you have bigger problems in life. Bio though.. Interesting.

Typical cancel culture.

Works quite well in my Tesla, the rest of the industry really should step into 2012, its awesome.

After sneaking off campus with a buddy in his red ‘88 Nissan pickup in sunny southern California on an 80(f) day, my buddy noticed something didn’t smell quite right. He asked me, and sure enough, I confirmed something was off. Kind of a rotten smell, couldn’t put our fingers on it. We looked around the truck, while…

Its more likely cost savings. Bean counters have been telling designers what to do since the dawn of automotive history.

You get my point, dont deflect

Gas cars are FAR less efficient using AC, and lets not forget that gas cars use way more energy at idle... but you’re telling me, you’re evacuating a disaster zone fearing for your life, hoping to find essential resources and you’re cranking the AC to 60f while stuck in 6 hrs of traffic with 1/2 tank of gas? Nope,…

An EV with ~300 miles of range stuck in traffic now has ~500 miles of range because the EPA rating was assuming 65mph @ ~4mi/kw, and when you’re crawling under 45mph you’re getting like 7mi/kw.

Occasional horse fart as well. Anyone who’s ridden knows when a horse farts he’s about to take off.

Tesla actually lets you pick the coconut clopping sounds from Monty Python Holy Grail as a low speed pedestrian alert sound.

Can you imagine if early cars had fake “clopidy-clop clop-clopidy-clop” sounds to make fake horsey sounds? Whatever comforts people who are terrified of change, I guess. 

Doug is 1000x worse, sounds like a damn muppet.

Personal taste. Frankly, I cant stand the golden bow tie on any Chevy, no matter what color.
