sdandrea1 take a look around you and I’d bet you’d be surprised. There are charging stations all over the place and the reality is, you don’t use one very often, 98% of the charging is done at home. I flew to pick up the Tesla we bought (new color, I wanted it, 4 available in the country, needed the car now bc we sold our Escalade waaaaay faster than anticipated) drove back from near DC to south of Raleigh on one 25 min stop to charge, which was the same rest stop I’ve stopped at probably 10 times before to break up the drive from our house to the area. The highway is littered w charging stations. The notion of the infrastructure not being there is another fallacy the anti-EV group think has going. The car is awesome, the inconvenience I expected is non-existent. It’s a cheaper to operate, more enjoyable drive then my truck or the Escalade we sold, and it’s most definitely a complete crock of shit that you are saving the world in any way shape or form.
So do with that what you will, but I see Tesla like Ping at this point, it was a weird idea that bucked the industry, with an odd ball visionary at the helm. A whole lot of success came, so to came all the copies and at the end of it all, you are left with the first still being clearly better and the only one really worth buying.
