and what happens if the Alaska coastline suddenly has to evacuate en mass due to a tsunami warning and ALL the vehicles, including all emergency and roadside assistance vehicles are EVs? OR half of Florida or South Carolina has to mass evacuate because of an unexpected turn of an approaching hurricane? I tell you what happens: the world’s biggest permanent parking lot, with millions of stalled EVs that will take months to get all of them recharged, assuming any are even left after the tsunami or hurricane hits ...
Tesla really ‘screwed the pooch’ a few years ago during a Florida hurricane.
In a moment of benevolence they gifted their short-range car owners with a temporary software ‘patch’ to extend the range X2 or X3 to help them get out of harm’s way farther. As I remember, the hardware set was identical in the X1 range cars and the X2&X3 range ones, but the sticker price differences were wildly different.
People were REALLY upset when they found that they were paying a lot more for essentially a couple of lines of computer code.
No doubt some code hackers got right to work on that issue
