Beyond Driven
Meanwhile Tesla is years late providing the first and only transcontinental route that doesn’t require snow tires or chains year-round. That being I-10 end to end.
This may come as a surprise to the apologists, but when a company makes a promise, the reasonable expectation is that they will keep that promise.
Never minding that basic communication and transparency would eliminate the vast majority of any phone calls that might, repeat might, otherwise occur.
The last SC in the chain? In or around Fort Stockton.
Fortunately, easier solutions exist in both directions. See Balmorhea as an example.
Calls of dubious legitimacy aside, emails to the Fort Stockton Chamber of Commerce and to various County officials in an effort to amplify the benefit of Tesla owners’ business *and* to illuminate the source(s) of the bottleneck(s) are entirely fair game.
I don’t really care who’s in the way. The failure to have I-10 open in past years has cost me a lot of time and money. The continued delay is less impactful (see dogleg left to Midland), but time is still money. If there’s a concerted effort to delay progress at my expense, then I have exactly zero problem reciprocating that impact.
And with that, I’m done debating the issue here. My next communications will be to the Chamber and to the County, among others, and I would encourage youse to do the same. Apologists included.
Or you could just count upon driving slowly westbound and hope you calculate correctly under whatever wx conditions you encounter.
