Our longest return trip is never longer than about 110 KM so our car is fine for us. Our daily commute is shorter. Buy what suits your needs and use the worst case scenario. Electric cars are not the panacea for everyone but for those of us who they work for they are a huge improvement over gas/diesel vehicles and we could never go back. I spend about 6 seconds twice a week keeping my car charged. Beats the heck out of hanging around gas stations. And thats just one of many reasons we would never go back to liquid fuels.
Hope this helps.
Are you configured to access Tesla charging stations?
Seems like the sentiments of Tesla owners. If they have to replace or upgrade, they choose another Tesla.
Of course, Tesla is still on the high-end or luxury category of vehicle ownership until they can do mass production.
Hey Yosemite.
Nope. We can access any Chademo DC fast charge station but not the Supercharger system. We rarely use DC fast charging though. Maybe max half a dozen times per year in the last three years. We do 95 percent of our charging at home on either 120 or 240...depends who gets home first and gets the garage. :)
We are replacing one of our EV's with a Tesla model 3 in 2020. Great car. Keeping the leaf. Great commuter.
Looks like a good plan. I wonder why other EV manufacturers refused Tesla's offer to share their charging stations (for a fee, of course).
We have similar discussions on the other thread since closed: https://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/29800758/srt/pd/pging/1.cfm
It appears that the naysayers are those who have not driven an EV, don't intend to have one or can't afford one (and they tell me I'm arrogant).
Most exciting for me for us RVers is the Tesla pick up, their sleek semis that RV manufacturers could convert -- and Elon Musk's plan to provide mega-chargers along with super chargers in their stations. And his idea of a battery-exchange for those who are in a big hurry.
