Tesla turns up heat on rivals with global price cuts

You really never fail to amuse do you?

Now why don't we look at realty for change?

1. The supercharger is built with the capacity to charge a Tesla completely within 15 to 30 minutes. However, the charger's speed slows down around 80% until it attains 100% full charge to protect the battery from early damage. Typically, the Tesla charging time depends on the battery level at which you plug the EV into a charger.

For Model the high end S/X
Supercharger 15 – 30 minutes

So why would do you fail to mention the standard fast Supercharger charging times and concentrate instead on NEMA 5-15 charging times if you didn't have your normal, crazy Creepy Joe anti Musk agenda?
And, you really DON'T need to fully charge your Tesla before you can do your normal commute to work, shopping etc.

I put a minimal bit of effort into it, so I'm glad it works for you!

I assume you meant to say reality, considering there's nothing about real estate in this conversation. Despite your look at reality completely ignoring almost the entire conversation preceding.

All that has been mentioned before. What does it have to do with anything?

Considering I have mentioned Superchargers, your point completely misses. And Superchargers aren't that useful. See my last part in post 57. And the majority of the conversation is about 5-15 (or 5-20) because that's the style of outlet found in almost every garage in these US. Maybe if you actually looked at what the discussion was over, you would know it was primarily about simply plugging in to your garage at home to fulfill all your driving needs, and I highly doubt anyone has a Supercharger at their house. Most people have 120V power. Very few may already have 240V if laundry is out there or they're wired for a welder or lathe or something. Or, as previously mentioned (like everything I just said), you can pay a grand or so to specifically have the Tesla charger installed.

And, you really DON'T need to fully charge your Tesla before you can do your normal commute to work, shopping etc.

No, but depending on your commute length and additional errands, as well as total charge time, many people will see their battery level steadily drop and will therefore need to plan a full day at home, or a trip to the electric station once a week or every other week. And now they're about the same as most regular cars' fueling requirements, only those don't need to be plugged/unplugged every day, and when you do finally have to go to the fueling station, they don't take an hour or more to fill up.

What does it have to do with anything?

You calmed in you post 55 and I quote that:

“Tesla's website, Tesla forums, several EV websites, all put the charging rate at 2-6 miles per hour of charging. Do you disagree with them? “

In reality, it takes only 15 to 30 minutes for a full charge on the high end Model S at a Tesla Supercharger, which is VASTLY superior to what you claimed in your post
What more nonsense you got to post?

Drive whatever you want but don't keep posting garbage about EV’s you have never driven and know little about.

Can you try posting some facts instead of the catch-all of calling my posts "garbage"? And please, no need to repeat that the Superchargers take 15 minutes. Bring something more useful to the discussion.

And I have driven Teslas before, but that has nothing to do with basic facts you can pull off their website or others. So, since you're posting in here, and from what you added into our conversation, is it safe to assume that you drive a Tesla and you only charge it at the Supercharger in your garage?

All that has been mentioned before. What does it have to do with anything? [Here, I added the part of that line that you somehow forgot to quote!]

If you're gonna jump in the middle of a conversation and argue stuff, it's good to have the common courtesy to read enough of the conversation to have some idea of the rest of the conversation, especially when you take quotes and make arguments that are irrelevant, out of context, and/or already discussed.

In reality, it charges 2-6 miles per hour, which is relevant to the preceding conversation about charging your Tesla on the wall in your garage. Nobody builds houses that come with Superchargers, so I don't know why you keep bringing them up. Maybe if you read post 56 (the post after the one you're complaining about there), you'll see the other side of our conversation understands the context of the type of charger being discussed.

Hell, why don't you finish reading the rest of that post (55) before you got your panties in a wad. Here, I'll even post a couple more quotes for you (what I said):

Even if you get a level 2 240V charger installed in the garage, those claims have been about 13-20 miles per hour.

The new V3 superchargers [Hey look! I already mentioned those "VASTLY superior" Superchargers in that same post!] look to hit a rate of 15 miles per minute (although a fuller battery means slower recharge times).

I'll let you go through the rest of the thread and see how many times Superchargers have already been mentioned.
