Poor Brad

How far can you go on a single tank of gas...........

From an email: Poor Brad:

Brad lives in California.

He was sick of the world, of Covid-19, of Trump, Russian belligerence, China, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media headlines. In short, he was despondent.

Brad drove his new car into his garage and sealed every doorway and window as best he could. He got back into his car and wound down all the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car and revved it to a slow idle. He simply couldn't take it anymore.

Two days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services and they broke in, pulling Brad from the car.

A little sip of water and, surprisingly, he was in good condition, but his Tesla had a dead battery.

Brad is a registered Democrat

Nice idea, but there is no “...revved it to a slow idle” in a Tesla.

There is a simmilar, real life story in Heidi Harmon (D), former mayor of San Luis Obispo, driving her EV to San Francisco for a climate rally.

After multiple attempts to find a working charging station in San Jose, Harmon realized charging the car would take up to seven hours and there was no way she could make the rally.

So, last ditch effort, she called for a rescue helicopter. And that raises the issue of air transportation in a green petroleum free economy. It ain’t happening/

β€œβ€¦..revved it to a slow idle”

Impossible. Teslas have no motor and therefore do not idle.
