These people have to be liberal dimwits.
Typical liberal “style-over-substance”. Having unrealistic expectations is what they do.
“Road Trip”
What kind of ABSOLUTE IDIOT thinks they can take an EV on a road trip? That is NOT their purpose.
I can appreciate the dilemma. We need to have Beta testers so that we can refine the technology. That way when the new United States appears (sans: white man, working class, self-sufficient), the serfs will have limited transportation which will be electronically controlled by George Soros and Bill Gates.
Hmmm. A new Buc-ee’s opened near me about a year ago and it has 120 gas pumps! I wonder if it has any charging stations?
Months ago I tweeted to the Musk-Man himself something like this:
“My 19 year old minivan can carry me and seven friends from Times Square to Rodeo Drive in 45 hours for about $700. When a Tesla can do that, call me.”
Heated seats and a heated steering wheel are hardly substitutes for cabin heating when the temperature is below zero. What about defrosting? In an unheated car interior the moisture from your breath condenses on the windows making defrosting a safety necessity. What about using the headlights lights and wipers during inclement weather, wouldn’t those also sap the battery?
I am reminded of stories my mother told about travel by unheated horse drawn sleigh in the raw South Dakota winter. Those hardy souls would cover themselves with blankets including sleigh blankets usually made of a tanned horses hide backed with wool felt.
99% of electric vehicles are still on the road the rest made it home.
What was the COST of all these charges? Axios article does not say.
