Traveling city to city to sell something that doesn’t work?
We used to call them “snake oil salesmen”. Seems nothing’s changed.

“Thugs are going to sabotage those chargers just for the heck of it.”

They are stealing the copper between the plug and the stand for profit, it’s easy and fast.

And Charlotte to the Tennessee border is mostly uphill then Steep Mountains (Blue Ridge) once on I-40 which means heavy draw on the battery.

Google maps says it's a 619 mile, 9 hour 38 minute drive. But that would require using a dinosaur-juice powered vehicle that doesn't require hours to recharge.

(Alternatively, Google says it's a 1 hour 40 minute flight, "from $259".)

more often than not this ignorant twit irritates me to no
end. However, this is one exception as I find myself
ROTF LOL. Such planning could only come from an individual
with NO COMMON SENSE.

School for Dummies, this should help her get over it and acquire some KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE at present and her more subsequent years.

My son-in-law rented a tesla once to come here for a visit.

It’s a really nice car, roomy inside, fast as hell. But I would never own one.

Biggest drawback, for me, is 100% of everything inside done on a giant ipad. Even the stupid ac vents are operated via navigating on a big screen. Forget that.

When he nailed it, you could see the miles of range go away. He was constantly searching for a fast charger. He found one on a turnpike rest stop. So we drove to the turnpike so he could fast charge it. Then hung out at the rest stop while it charged for 20 minutes. Not my kinda lifestyle. The people at those fast chargers are those that think they’re better than you. Pfft. Screw that.

Oh, Jennifer - you just plug it in. Like a toaster, you know?

Now, go make me a sandwich.

Ill bet they were.

We had a back up coming back into Atlanta several weeks ago from our rural compound. There’s a million Teslas in Atlanta. We saw a couple of them running up the emergency lane trying to get to an exit ramp. I’m sure they were running out of battery life.

I guarantee former MI gov Granholm is making millions of $ with insider trading in EV/Chicom related stocks.

The so-called road trip encourages EV companies to press on.

This is where TexasGator posts a picture of a ICE vehicle along side the road.

Reading these comments should be great encouragement to those not sure they want an EV. Maybe someone should print up a list to post for all the problems an EV creates that are not existent with normal vehicles.
