I posted my numbers, stand behind them and don't appreciate your thinly veiled (or not so veiled) assault on my character. I'm as honest as can be here - I showed you my numbers from my road trip. I showed you my numbers from ABRP. And I know my own experiences. All of which line up true as day.
The fact that you cannot - or will not - accept them is your problem, but not a reflection on me or my character. And the fact that - when called on it - you just continue to deflect and accuse me of being a liar or a stock shill really ticks me off.
For example:
20 minutes for ~150 miles is exactly what I said I experienced on my road trip, and exactly what ABRP shows. I'll stand behind those numbers all day long.

========================================================
What
@Nickage87 has proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt is that at the very least, they have no idea how to road trip in their car. I am not going to say they didnt have those experiences (although, with all of the people here who have examined the exact route they were posting about, it looks like it would be difficult as heck to duplicate their experience).
What I will state without a doubt though, is that there are obviously much better ways to do it than they apparently did it. They also fall into the category of "name calling" the minute they get called on their data. Calling someone a "fanboi" is like saying 'i know you are, but what am I" on an elementary playground, when one doesnt have any other information to back up their claims.
As I said when I was made a moderator, I firmly believeTMC is for all people, those that love tesla, those that hate them, and those who are somewhere in the middle (which is most of us). What I find irksome, however, is people who try to use data to try to tell some story that isnt quite the real thing.
Saying "it takes somewhat longer to road trip in my tesla" = True story for most. Many would trade because they feel better when they get there. Some wont. Thats a fair discussion. See post from
@run-the-joules for someone making a fair statement for discussion. Saying. "it takes 2 hours to charge for every 5 hours driven, there isnt any real way that I or anyone else can see to make that happen, unless someone is trying to do that. Statements like "but you have to drive to the superchargers" are somewhat silly, because last I checked, you have to drive to the gas station too.
On a side note, people in general should know that TMC is one of the WORST places to try to post up some data that isnt "quite all there" because of the nature of the membership. People WILL pick it apart, and WILL find any holes if there are any. Not a great thing to try here in my opinion.
