They kind of deserve each other.

That is some first class bull shit right there. 

Car dealerships donate a lot of money to state candidates.

The kind of thinking that led to the Razor Blade Wars.

If you can’t even be bothered to pull it out of the driveway for some proper pics (does it really move under its own power?), I can’t be bothered to pull out my checkbook. ND.

Or people desperate for firewood will spark a new vandalism trend.

Americans: “Make me”

I don’t know, I’ve done over 200k miles in Tesla EVs. Heck, I just got back yesterday from a 600 mile trip to Vegas. I charged a total of 15 mins each direction just to be safe.

I got around slower traffic in ways not possible with an ICE vehicle as I have a Plaid X. 80 to 120+ instantly

Simple solution, ban everything that rolls on rubber compounds or emits particulates. Lets go straight to hoover crafts. Mr. Stark showed a prototype years and years ago.

Literally the worst possible way to travel cross country.

I have plenty of issues with Tesla, both with the company and with the vehicles they sell, but even I will give basically unreserved kudos to them for how they have handled the Supercharger network.

I’d honestly have bought it if they’d just punched in google maps and Leeroy Jenkins’d it. That would’ve sent them on that route.

My in-laws have meticulously planned spreadsheets for their RV trips.

If we’re supposed to become an EV-forward country, we need to be able to cross the country in an electric vehicle at the drop of a hat.

Ford has been working closely with Electrify America, and has a team that goes out to check stations regularly and make sure they are functioning. With the F-150 Lightning rolling out to customers now, Ford really wants to make sure they have a good experience.

In the article the author said they meticulously planned using Plugshare, but also somehow didn’t filter for charger speed. Or just use ABRP.

Which makes it kind of amazing that they ran right into a 400 mile charging desert in the continental US when there was a parallel track that would’ve been fine. And chose the…

There is a standard charger, there is no need for adapters. CCS1 is used for everything except the Leaf and Tesla. Chademo is still kicking around but for maybe 2 more years and all of the Chademo stations have CCS1. People buying Teslas won’t be confused on what to use.

It’s not app based or paying with your phone, at almost all of the stations you can pay by tapping your credit card. They also have an ISO standard they are implementing plug and charge so you set it up and you can just plug the car in and charge it and then charge your card with no interaction beyond plugging in the…

48 gallons... holy shit, that’s like almost five hats’ worth.
