True, I'm all for having smaller city cars. It would work especially well in "cramped" cities like here in Europe. Dunno about the states though. You guys love your small weiner cars and have the infrastructure specifically designed for them. But here? sure. Hell, make them all shared. It's way more convenient and compared to these bicycles and scooters can actually save you tons of money compared to owning. I want a ride for vacations and proper trips though and I want it to be MINE. My equipment, my setup, my stink.

>>481784 >oy vey goyim, why would you ever go anywhere further than 15 minutes away? >a bit later >we're just going to build these checkpoints to make sure you can't ever go more than 15 minutes away

>>482569 It takes you 15 minutes to drive 300 miles?

>>481784 >"BUY THE PLANE TICKETS, GOY" No, I don't think I will.

>>481784 i believe the problem is the lack of infrastructure that has enough charging spots peppered along the way. Less mile range is fine as long as there are guarenteed spots similar to how we have gas stations now. According to the latest information though the charging stations have made ground but are still under developed in large areas.

>>481784 Well, 300 is really 250, and 250 is really 180 in the winter, so the numbers are pretty misleading. That being said, going on road trips for vacation is an important American pastime. I do it multiple times per year. Maybe the Jew York Times editors don't know about this because they take planes for vacation.

>>481784 It's not that you drive 300 miles every day, it's that the one day you do need to drive 300 miles, you need to drive 300 miles.

>>482569 >>484587 >>484604 >>484621 >>484633 The firm I work for runs a fleet of Teslas and our sales team drive all over the country in them. Most get about 400 miles on a full charge and our fleet management system confirms this. In the real world Teslas have pretty damn good range, as well as performance and that improves with updates and as new models arrive. The team love them, and they could choose an ice if they wanted, but literally nobody wants one when they have the choice. What it looks like is the only people who are upset about EVs are the ones who are enturbulated about not being able to afford one.

>>484886 Hey Elon, how about a small loan of a million dollahs?

>>484889 Actually what i wrote is true. We are ISO compliant and independently audited. For this reason we use Zoom meetings where possible, but due to the nature of our work our people have to be on client's sites regularly. Teslas are perfect for this compliance, and they also save us a pile of money on gas. Not to mention our team love them. When we first started making the switch over, we had a combination of Teslas and older executive cars and everyone wanted the Teslas. Now our fleet is going strong and we will rotate new ones in as they get too old. The mileage and performance is simply fantastic.

>>481784 Twice per year on Thanksgiving and 4th of July to visit my family on the other side of the state. The drive is about 350 miles.

>>486548 >350 miles Easily done in a tesla M3, or if you want to take a step up, get a tesla S Class (plaid.)
