Your point?

You basically back up everything I said.

It went into energy saving mode and you only lost 1%. What happens when you’re in ‘stop and go’ traffic and it has to turn on and off again. I’m betting you’re losing more than 1%.

And given that you only get 150 miles on a charge, it would have taken you a long time to get out of Florida, if at all.

And based on the video I saw the other day of a very, very, very long line of EVs waiting their turn to get on a Tesla charger, I’ll pass.

You asked about energy usage when it was not in use. I answered.

Stop & go traffic is different.

If I’m escaping a hurricane I am sure as hell not taking my EV. It’s, as I said, a commuter car.

80-90% of my driving is as a commuter. That’s what an EV is good for. Not escaping hurricanes. And I would never own an EV as my only vehicle.
