Can’t wait for all those Tesla leaving Miami when the hurricane comes a knockin
I 95 going to be loaded with the cars all sitting on the side of the road.
But you can also essentially turn the car off so it's using very little battery if you're sitting in traffic. You should likely have a full 100% if you're evacuating, and I'm not sure going to 0% would really ever become an issue or even come close if you're stuck in traffic not moving. It certainly may, I just don't think it would.

Dude just get out of my thread. Your an idiot.

Why not read the op and go from there.
Not sure if you understand how message boards work, but not every response is towards the OP. My response there wasn't about your OP, it was a response to the incorrect point the poster I made that I quoted, but again, you missed that.
quote:Cool. And I charge at home 99% of the time. I can't see you but in the comfort of my home doing whatever I want while you spend probably hours of your life every year going to and at a gas station, so congrats?
hese people are sitting at the gas station. Not at home charging. They were there when I got there, filled up and left. There they sat.

People have problems at gas stations as well. I'd actually argue that the worst case scenario would be me plugging into someone else's car or the first 110 outlet I can find. Not ideal at all but I'd have more options

Interesting point to this as well. Many Tesla’s have the range artificially restricted by the computer. Tesla pushed temporary updates to customers in Florida to give them access to the full range to evacuate for a hurricane.
I’m sure this will be met with something like, I can put as many gas tanks in the bed of my truck as I want.

But yea, the main point is if it's a hurricane you know ahead of time what's coming, so you'll likely be leaving with 100% charge. And just sitting in traffic that isn't actually moving really doesn't drain your battery like you may think.
Again, it could potentially be an issue, but I find it highly unlikely, and like the other dude pointed out, you can also run out of gas just as easily and have trouble getting to a gas station that actually has gas too.

That's because they're large corporate cookie-cutter CEOs, and they're never going to just speak their mind on something like that, for the same reason you're questioning
Tesla. I seem to remember a couple of Toyota commercials showing people with big mileage like that on a customer's truck, and anything like that is going to have legal fine print saying that not all owners will have the same success. They're going to say whatever their lawyers tell them to say when it comes to the possibility of false advertising or something similar.
Whateve Elon is, he most certainly isn't a cookie-cutter CEO. If he (or a rep) say they warranty batteries to 100lk but they think the average may be triple that, it's probably exactly what they think. As long as they're selling pretty much everything they make, there isn't much sense in purposely deceiving people in order to sell them one.

First, if you had any reading comprehension you would know I am not anti Tesla. Second the entire op is about those sitting at the stations. You do realize that apartment buildings do not have chargers or are you too stupid to understand that.
There are current issues with ev that most are not willing to accept but do not begrudge others.
Your blowing Tesla smoke out ur arse does not convince the rest.
As I said before I would get an affordable ev as a second local car and enjoy it.
Also, the costs of chargers for the home can be as high as $5000 don’t forget to add that in.

Serious question... does running the ac not use electricity? How does that work? Same for heat up north?

Elon is pretty honest as for as CEO's go. You'll never hear one agree with criticism that they have delivery and quality issues due to trying to meet the 500k delivered mark

I don’t know the EV climate consumption, but I do know home energy consumption quite well and those are obviously much larger units. Considering a couple power walls will run a house HVAC system for hours while also powering a fridge and other items, it’s safe to assume the EV with a battery pack 2-3x larger will be able to control a very small space without it impacting the mileage by any significant amount.

This is 99.9% true. However, many new complex’s are being built with several EV chargers, at least here in Houston and it’s already been a thing on the left coast for a while. You can also charge at many public places for free. Like Whole Foods (or as I call it whole paychecks). You can go grab a Chantilly cake and some shitty hipster snacks while you charge for free.

Even Houma has a destination charger here. At this point you have to be in the sticks to not be close to one

I can see where it cost more if you need a main panel upgrade especially if you’re in an area where you have a combo meter/main panel box. But really anyone who isn’t in San Diego or a Puerto Rico doesn’t have that from my experience. Even then, $5000 is a bit steep and you’re probably getting hosed by a contractor.

I've seen a few videos if people installing the level 2 chargers themselves. I wouldn't do it but it doesn't seem like the most complicated thing to do. Not sure where the guy got the $5000 number from

About making the thread about you... yeah we all see it. The thread is about people sitting in gas stations, idiot. We know you have a home and charge there. So you are not part of the discussion and can quit blowing smoke out of ur arse.
As for chargers I looked it up. You can too.
ETA LINK
How Much Does An Electric Car Charging Station Cost?
$400 – $1,700 Install Only
$750 – $2,600 Average Total Cost (Charger + Install)
Found this. Other site said UP TO $5000 depending on difficulty of install

Again, why is it that only one side gets super pissy, melts and starts calling names in every single Tesla thread? I guess the anti Tesla crew takes their anti Tesla shite very seriously.

Dude... nobody is pissed and nobody cares about your posting except to derail a thread. If you weren’t a troll you would see that.
Apparently you answered the question... thanks, now you can disappear since you gave us the answers
