And when I lived in the San Diego area I couldn’t make the drive to Las Vegas without being stranded in the middle of the desert. It’s a very expensive toy for rich people that is being tax subsidized. I’m sure those people in Orange County have gas powered vehicles as well and the vast majority don’t rely only on a Tesla.
There’s Supercharger stations located in Baker, Barstow and Yermo for the SoCal to Vegas drivers.
I know a couple of people whose Teslas are their daily drivers. They have owned them since 2013-2014.
I don’t know how Teslas are “expensive toys for rich people” any more than all the Lexus, Mercedes, Maseratis, Jaguars, Porsches, and BMWs that people buy out here. Those gas burners are not only expensive cars to buy, they are expensive cars to maintain. The Teslas seem to be cheap to maintain by comparison.
