You agree how much energy is in a gallon of gasoline. I said to BUY an equivalent amount of energy, never did mention the inefficiency of a gasoline car. But lets address that now. The purchase price of gasoline is independent of how the car performs. Right?? Let's say an ICE car gets...

Agree totally regarding charging at home and I mirror your situation. As to the ubiquity of public rapid charging stations it seems to me this is the "chicken or egg" story. Those living in apartments aren't going to buy EVs if they can't charge reasonably (close and economically priced) and...

I don't believe I overlooked that point as here is what I said about it: I know you questioned my statement that electricity could cost so much relative to gasoline but I think you now understand that it is indeed exorbitantly high at the superchargers. What no one has sufficiently answered is...

There are two comparisons: energy equivalence and economic equivalence. One gallon of gas holds 33.7 kwh of energy. My Tesla has averaged 3.85 miles per kwh for its life so 3.85 miles/kwh x 33.7 kwh/gal = 129.7 miles/gal equivalent. If I pay .10/kwh x 33.7 kwh/gal = $3.37 /gal, so for $3.37 I...

Why can you not rotate the tires. And what do you mean by "no camber"

Read all of your posts to this point and I must say I’m in total agreement. About three months behind in ownership and just experienced your AP frustration on first long trip. From what I understand it used to do this but no longer; sounds like a sneaky way to increase the price. Other than...

I have the same question as the OP. Purchasing an equivalent amount of energy as one gallon of gasoline at a Supercharger costs $13.48 if the Supercharger cost is .40/ kwh. Which is what I'm seeing now and frequently even higher. Having spotted the gas price today of $3.08 this seems like a...

You say realistic range is 175-200 miles. Is this from 100% to 20% ? Or what parameters are you comfortable with? I'm assuming this is freeway driving? I've owned mine for less than a month and have no travel experience but was hoping I could comfortably go about 200 miles without anxiety...

When I look at my trip meter I get similar results, but it seems to be lying to me. Just completed a round trip of exactly 100 miles and used 25 kwh which translates to 4 mi/ kwh. Fantastic and spot on with EPA estimate. This was at 60-62 mph on 55 mph highway that most were driving 65...
