Auto companies are seeing EVs are fine for some things, but not for traveling 100+ miles.
“Auto companies are seeing EVs are fine for some things, but not for traveling 100+ miles.”
I am sitting in my.condo in downtown Austin Texas having driven directly from f a r North Texas in my Model 3 98% hands free FSD at that. It has a 375 mile range and I routinely take it 300 miles before hitting either a supercharger or the L2 at the casino/hotel valet or Airbnb. This model 3 also makes the DFW to Houston run nearly monthly and New Orleans in the regular as well. Have taken it to Orlando and Miami never an issue Tesla has put V3 and now V4 supercharger every 50 miles or so down the interstates. Hell in November we took the Model Y to Terlinquia Texas far rural west Texas it’s 300+ miles range too and there is a supercharger in Alpine 80 miles from the end point we used camping mode the whole weekend and still had enough juice to hit alpine.
It’s a myth by people who have never owned or even driven an Tesla that there is some range issie. Nothing could be further from the truth.the car will not let you run out of charge it will route you too the next supercharger on your route or a L2 at the end points. Tesla will come get you should you do something stupid like override the tech screaming at you and cart you for free I might add to the nearest supercharger that you ignored the tech taking you too. Only idiots run a Tesla out it’s nearly idiot proof you really have to be a special kinda stupid.
I own a F250 diesel it is a pain to drive long-distance you have to actually drive it and use the pedals the whole time as it’s cruise control is the dumb kind, no lane keep,no autopilot and certainly no FSD. I watched Netflix the whole.way down to Austin nearly door to door except for some construction on 35 that had crossing lane markers and it asked for hands when the lines were all over the place due to them not having shoulder , K rails and paint all over from nearly nightly lane shifts. People were all over the lanes it is a mess for sure. The truck goes to Midland and only on the clients dime at that. unsupervised FSD is coming with v15 even now polarized polycarbonate IR blocking lenses let you do what you want and not get strikes. That’s a Pro tip btw.
