Yes, EVs are not for everyone. Wish people would realize that before blasting ‘em for not matching their pet special case.
The “costly” is basically paying all expenses up front. Total cost of ownership is significantly less than gas-powered vehicles, alas you have to pay most of that TCO to get the car.
Orlando to Memphis in a default Tesla would take 5 stops along the way, total 15 hours, varying 20-40 minutes per stop (easy to do the same in a regular car).
