How long before we start seeing electric cars with portable generators tied to their luggage racks?!
I remember reading that Tesla sent a “software update” to owners near the wild fires so their cars can get out of the area. The update was to allow the standard Tesla to use the full battery.
The difference between a Tesla that gets 200 miles and the one that gets 400 miles is a software limitation and not the battery modules themselves. So for 3 grand or whatever the difference between the long range and standard range car was software code.
Scary and evil stuff
Not having a plug in car until they make gas powered ones illegal.
And maybe not even then.
With a regular internal-combustion car, I can refuel, use the restroom, and grab a cup of coffee in under fifteen minutes; and can drive in excess of 400 miles before I have to do it again.
It wiuld have been funnier if there was a blackout.
The next cash for clunker program.
Electric cars are stupid no matter how slick and cool you make them.
I remember lines like that,when Jimmy Carter was President.
No sympathy from me, and my Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI V8 w/ 707hp, ***Gas*** engine, with a 5min fill-up for the 22gal tank.
How about interchangeable charged batteries that slip in and out in seconds? Sounds involved though.
When your gasoline-powered vehicle runs out of fuel you can fill it up with the gallon or so of gas you brought with you for an emergency.
When your Tesla battery is dead you don’t have any spare electricity with you.
Dumb.

How efficient are the charging stations when PG&E shuts the electricity off? Sitting through a mandatory evacuation waiting for your car to charge.
Electric cars that require grid power to charge are stupid.
“Get a horse!”
Then the morons in Sacramento will realize the state’s electrical grid is insufficient and the shortage is getting worse, the state will increase energy taxes to pay for more high-tension lines, substations, switching networks, etc.
It takes about an hour to charge a Tesla completely with one of these super chargers. Who wants to wait that long? Then it’s not like there’s many of these chargers, not like there are gas stations.
Bummer, dood!
I’m glad to have contributed my taxes to aid naive folks in senseless waiting.
