I put my deposit for the p85d a few days ago. I do not own a home so I travel a lot and rent houses etc. I'm moving to Boulder, CO shortly. I'm very concerned and thinking about cancelling my order for several reasons:
1) The nearest SC is 40-50 miles away. Meaning after making a round trip I'll be left with less very little range and bad performance.
2) I downloaded apps like PlugShare, ChargePoint etc, and see that most of these are very low voltage which means a full charge could take upwards of 60 hours!
3) As mentioned, I don't own a home and travel so I will have to rely on these low power charging stations which seems crazy. (Ie. For someone without a house charger and not living next to an SC seems really bad!)
4) I thought I would be saving a ton on gas, but as I research more it appears many of these EV stations want exhorbant prices like $0.40/kWh! Which means I may not be saving any money at all compared to my Corvette which gets 25 mpg.
I really had no idea about these things last week. Can you guys help me decide if a Tesla is right for my llifestyle?
Thanks!
