I’ve taken numerous road trips 350-650 miles in 2 Tesla M3s, LR and SR. First, around town makes no difference unless you drive 200 miles a day or something. We charge at home overnight and we are full in the morning ready for a day of local, relatively short range driving. On long trips, how many people need or want to drive more than 225 miles without stopping? The Tesla supercharger system is ubiquitous, which is in addition to many hotel complimentary charging, shopping centers, parking garages, etc. On road trips, we typically drive about 200 miles to the next designated supercharger, stretch the legs, fill the car’s range, get a coffee, use bathroom and about 30 mins later we’re done. For me, I need a break every 2-3 hours. It’s simple. Why not schedule these breaks/short rests at a supercharger? For me, I’ll never get an LR again. With a modicum of planing, even long road trips are easy. Again, around town local driving especially when we can charge at home inexpensively and at a charging rate of about 40 miles of range per hour of charge, a 270 mile SR RWD M3 is all we need.
