And BTW Broder is an idiot. He NEVER fully charged the Tesla. He was even charging when the car said he could NOT make the distance. What does Broder do? He disconnects and drives on. The Tesla goes further than the estimate but still not far enough to avoid the tow. Do you put 10 gallons of fuel in when you know you need 20 gallons? Broder is an idiot. And I don't think Broder ever talks much about the electric vehicle is so low cost to drive Tesla provides FREE long distance fuel with purchase :E Can you imagine any gas burning manufacturer doing that?

Setting out on a sunny 30-degree day two weeks ago, my trip started well enough. A Tesla agent brought the car to me in suburban Washington with a full charge, and driving at normal highway speeds I reached the Delaware charging dock with the battery still having roughly half its energy remaining. I went off for lunch at the service plaza, checking occasionally on the car’s progress. After 49 minutes, the display read “charge complete,” and the estimated available driving distance was 242 miles.
Fat city; no attendant and no cost.
As I crossed into New Jersey some 15 miles later, I noticed that the estimated range was falling faster than miles were accumulating. At 68 miles since recharging, the range had dropped by 85 miles, and a little mental math told me that reaching Milford would be a stretch.
