Last month I took 1400 mile road trip using only tesla superchargers. it came to about $110 total and that included 2 nights of overnight AC car camping. that’s $7.80 / 100 miles... half of the $14.40 figure they listed.

my home charging costs less than $5 for a full charge.

you don’t want a grid full of billboards. its bad for racing. its bad for safety. its bad for fans.

This supercharger location actually has a modular building on site for users to use the restroom, have a coffee, order a 5 minute pizza from the pizza robot, or yes change clothing in a private room.

Every pool in the universe is filled with a garden hose. Even at a millionaire’s mansion. I think all you're proving here is that you've never owned a pool.

We keep “car towels” in the 2nd layer under floor storage, along with our “car sleeping bags” and “car inflatable mattress”

Only in bashing Tesla would jalopnik say 1.99s is “slightly faster” than 2.6s 0-60 lol

Delta only has control of luggage in ATL because they own half of it. Every other airport uses centralized checked luggage, such as the “Heathrow baggage” problem directly identified by the author of this article as the cause.

OP shouldn’t have posted this video. He will get beta access revoked for SURE. hands off the wheel and willingly lets the car break the law.

WHO ASKED BOOMER

wow, your ICE experience and pure speculation are such a valuable take on EV road trips.

If you are sitting at a supercharger for 45 minutes, you are either driving into the mojave dessert to a destination, or you are wasting time AND money. An efficient (cost and time wise) EV road trip is 15 minute charges from 5% to ~60% over and over. Or maybe you are talking like first generation model S and first…

“We wanted to show a typical boat trip, so we took a boat without satnav through a reef at low tide”

“We shouldn’t have to spend hours carefully researching the best route, double-checking that recent reviews of certain chargers show they actually exist and can provide a charge as advertised.”

if the author, or this repost author, cared to interview actual EV owners, I think you would find that none of them “spend…

not even beforehand.. you are waiting 15-20 minutes at a fast charger, plenty of time to read the car screen that tells you exactly what % you need to reach the next charger. You have to intentionally ignore the handrails to mess up.

you get more than 1% out of “1%” for an EV just like gas meters go past empty. If you watch the electric canonball run, arriving at 1-5% is the ideal. Arriving at 10% is going to leave you charging 2-10 min longer than you need to.

there are plenty of times where i’ve been on a ICE road trip and been like “0kay, now where can i get gas?” and had to search on my phone.

That is compared to an EV, where the screen constantly tells you what % charge you would arrive at a given stop, and recommends an ideal route to save your time.

here’s some road trip content by people who aren’t questionably out to disparage EVs

in a Tesla you don’t need to think about it either..

she picked the KIA experience without knowing how much less KIA cares about the EV experience (hint: they want to sell more gas cars)

lol ICE guys will type so much about experience they don’t have

Sorry, but if you aren’t using a route planner for a road trip, you are either really dense, or actively seeking to discredit EV’s.

Please watch Out of Spec Motoring youtube channel to see what KIA EV roadtrips are actually like, or just rent a tesla next time if you want it to be idiot-proof.
