Tesla Model 3 In Europe Will Come With A CCS Charging Port [EU standard]

You ask what does it mean to say: “heating a gasoline vehicle does not cost as it uses waste engine” heat”.

Nope, I quoted you:

heating a gasoline vehicle adds not cost as it uses waste engine heat

Your changing of the wording makes that make sense, and yes, heating will take more power/range, as air conditioning (being a heat exchange) can be more than 100% efficient. Most Tesla sales have been in California, where vehicle interior cooling is more in use than heating. Range is also less of an issue, not merely because of the supercharging network and vehicle software, but because they're ideal commuter vehicles and for in-town driving. People who drive long distances most of the time probably would rather save the charge time and stick with a gasoline or diesel vehicle (and yes, I've said this before, right here on FR), but having the charger right in the garage means the vehicle is getting a fill-up while the owner is eating dinner or sleeping. Most people don't have a gas pump and underground tank in their yards (that used to be somewhat common here in farm country).

“Most Tesla sales have been in California”

By the way, you said “hate is an ugly thing”. I now think you meant “heat is an ugly thing”.

Here’s my latest perspective: there’s a place for electrics and a place for other kinds. I liked that car that was mostly battery with recharge capability, but had a little gas engine for use when the battery went dead.
