I’ll take the few days a year of extremely minor inconvenience over 350+ days per year of guaranteed inconvenience having to stop at the gas station any day

There is a lot of blank space in PA, but not specifically regarding charging stations. The charging stations are where the people are
I would say 15-20 minutes is my normal charging + food + restroom stop. I haven’t needed to just sit around and wait while charging in years
Tesla navigation has definitely been improving over the years just like everything else. It automatically routes you to charging stations as needed to get to your destination. A few years ago they added a count on the chargers so you can see how many slots are open, and it will skip ones that are full. Just this week…
I happened to see one up close today and was surprised at how thin the metal was still. Couldn’t have been more than 2mm
I can’t speak for wherever you’re located, but as a Tesla owner for 5 years, my normal Supercharging stop is in the 15-20 minute range. Normally I feel rushed to chomp down the food I’m eating when the app is popping me up saying to get back to the car so I don’t get changed idle parking fees
Even with a gas car, you try to time your road trip stops so you can get gas at the same service plaza as where you’re having lunch and going to the bathroom. With Tesla Supercharging stops generally being in the 15-20 minute range nowadays, it’s not that much of an exaggeration to say you could travel in a 2 car…
Go back to 2019 when your argument made sense. These days, EV charging stops, at least Tesla Supercharger, rarely exceed 20-25 minutes
There aren’t a lot of roads in those empty spaces. Chargers are strategically placed along roads where there is a good volume of travelers
Tesla Supercharger can basically match that. Charge, food, restroom in 15-20 minutes. We noticed no increase in A to B road trip travel time going from New Hampshire to Pennsylvania in a gas car versus our 2023 model year Tesla.
People with social anxiety for starters. I hate talking over voice-only telephone systems so I would prefer this over talking to a person in most cases. Normally I just go in and order at the self-service kiosk because I prefer that over having to talk to the human at the counter, which I also prefer over having to…
But do you use the restroom during that same fuel stop? How many minutes do you spent from offramp to onramp when stopping at the service plaza, and is it really any different than if you were doing the same in an EV? (since you can multitask charging and using the restroom and getting fast food at the same time)
Has Model S/X even had 300k sales? The vast bulk of Tesla sales are Model 3/Y
Autopilot/FSD isn’t one of the ping-pong style systems like Toyota has/used to have. It centers proactively instead of reacting to lane drift, even on the free Basic Autopilot. I would guess it was somebody on their phone
Agreed.
but a light tap that causes a dent can be pulled out and skim coated, while any damage to the Cybertruck will require panel replacement
