The difference is that you can drive 150km/hour with a gas car for maybe 3-4 hours, then take 5 minutes to re-fuel.
With a Tesla you can drive 150km/hour for 1-2 hours then you need to stop and charge for an hour before its possible to drive for another 1-2 hours.
Trip times depend upon which model Tesla, how fast your chargers are, and how well they are spaced. Having said that, for long distance travel, the SR and SR+ are highly unsuited for frequent long trips. Sure, you can do them, but it won't be fast or convenient.
However, if you were to take a LR and try a cross US trip, 2856 miles from Manhattan, NY to Manhattan Beach, CA, you'd be surprised that your statement doesn't hold true at all. If you allow for 150km/h travel, I get a total trip time of 42h44min, 34h20m of driving and 8h24m of charging. That's at an average road speed of 83mph, or 134km/h. There are 28 stops, so an average charge time of 18mins. The longest charge stop is 32mins, and only twice do you need to even charge for more than 30mins. You'd be hard pressed to do this trip meaningfully faster in an ICE.
Nowhere do you stop "for an hour" to charge.
Sure, an ICE can fill up faster, but I find myself waiting at gas pumps all the time, while on a trip; and outside of California, waiting for a SC is pretty uncommon.
The other thing is you're trying to apply ICE refueling behavior to BEVs. That's nonsensical. Why compare ICE refueling behavior to BEV? BEVs require a completely different strategy.
If you think about it, for OPTIMUM trip times, you have a little more than half a battery of range. At 150km/h, you are going to use 380Wh/mile, in a LR-AWD, giving you a practical distance of a little more than 100miles between SC. That takes about 18mins to charge at a v2 SC, faster if it were v3.
Yes but driving at 100km/hour isnt an option really if the speed limit is 130 for example, that would actually be illegal.
The problem is that charging stations arent located exactly where you need them, they are generally only located every 150kms or so so actually its very common to not be able to drive down to 5% or something, you might have to stop and charge when you are already at 60% and then charge to 90% to get to the next station.
So the problem is very often, in the real world that you need to stop at every single station (every 150kms) and charge for 30-60 minutes and then get to the next one and then sometimes you can skip one.. but not often. So actually the driving time almost doubles when you are driving like this
In general, it's faster to drive faster in a Tesla for shorter trip times, as long as you're using Superchargers. If you are using slower 50kW DCFC, then your trip times will be slower if you drive faster.
The problem I've found is that the SC spacing seems optimized for LR, and very poor for SR or SR+, which is not surprising. For LR, as I wrote above, the optimum spacing should be about 100 miles, or 160km. For a SR+, the optimum spacing is much much less, that's why the SC spacing doesn't work well.
For example, if I were to try the same trip from Manhattan to Manhattan Beach at 150km/h, you'd get a result of 51h33min, with 37h or driving and 14h33m of charging. The distance traveled would be longer, 2925miles, since you have to take a different route to get the shorter spacing between SC. It's clear that long distance travel in a SR+ is significantly more compromised than in a LR. Total trip time is 20% longer. Driving time is 8% longer, since a couple legs are speed limited to 70mph. And charge time is 73% longer, since you have a smaller battery that needs to be filled to a higher SOC. Not optimal.
People shouldn't buy the wrong vehicle for their driving habits and then complain when they find it doesn't meet their expectations.
