I live in Southern California and own a Tesla Model 3. I sometimes get questions but not often they seem pretty common here.
But when I go to Phoenix Arizona, I get people asking about the Tesla like they never seen one before. Like electric cars is a total foreign concept but they are still interested in them. I try my best to help people to educate them what is like to live with a Tesla. But sometimes people seem to not know what questions they want answers, they just ask “how far does it go”. Or sometimes I just feel whatever questions they have are a waste of both of our times. Sometimes I wonder if people ask me questions just to be doubtful. Like they only want to save money on gas but aren’t willing to put the work to deal with waiting at supercharges for trips or don’t realize a fully charged Tesla can do most round trip commutes without being charged somewhere else.
I could have told them stuff like when I’m traveling, I take my electric scooter with me so I can leave my car overnight at a free L2 charger that is within a 1-2 mile distance of my friends apartment. That way I don’t need to rely on the apartment complex having an EV charging
I try tell people if you commute locally, your time sleeping is when you charge thus not using your awake time to go to a gas station.
One guy in CA at a cafe was asking about my electric scooter then rambled on about how his giant Ford 250-350 takes $200 to fill up (around summer 2022).
I took a chance on a totally new concept of EV. I was initially just gonna get a Lexus or BMW but I was over gas cars and hated being forced to pay $50-100 for a full tank of gas.
