If so, I’d suggest you are the prime market for a Tesla 3, along with purchasers of police cruisers, taxis, etc: people who spend a LOT of time in a car, return to a fueling place between shifts, and need something which is both comfortable and VERY fuel-efficient.

I hate to break it to you but electric cars are not all that fuel efficient.

Electric cars get about 110 miles per gallon equivalent. That’s it. Not much more than a typical scooter or motorcycle.

Electric cars are extremely expensive. For the same money, you can buy the equivalent amount of gas without the hassle of an electric car.

Electric cars have major restrictions that gas vehicles do not have, which further mitigates their usefulness.

Electric cars pollute more than any vehicle due to the Super Fund cleanup sites that they cause. Research Super Fund sites for more information about that; billions spent on their cleanup.

Electric cars pose an electric shock hazard in crashes. Rescue crews are trained to handle their electrical hazards, and it isn’t pretty.

Electric cars have great normal load power, but fail in cold and hot weather and under continuous load.

Am I a candidate for a T3? Nope. No one is.
