Tesla has consistently exaggerated the driving range of its electric vehicles, reportedly leading car owners to think something was broken when actual driving range was much lower than advertised. When these owners scheduled service appointments to fix the problem, Tesla canceled the appointments because there was no way to improve the actual distance Tesla cars could drive between charges, according to an investigation by Reuters.

    No idea what your situation is, but mine takes 30 seconds to charge and has enough range to cover my daily commute for a week.

        It’s not literal. But the idea is you plug it in in the evening, and in the morning you unplug it fully charged, which all told takes less than 30s of you having to do anything.

          Problem is, that only works if you have a place to plug it in. I would have gotten an EV by now if I didn’t have outdoor parking in a shared lot.

            This is a very fair concern with a lot of people switching to EV. I’m lucky enough to be a homeowner with a garage, but if you don’t have a good charging solution either at work or home? EV isn’t right for you today.

            One of the best parts of them is that I’ve had to stop to charge in route twice in 4 years of ownership.
