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.
400-450 would be acceptable. With a range like that, I would also accept the current charge times. The range is the biggest issue though. Long-distance traveling is an issue for me in the US. Having to stop and wait for 30-40 minutes to charge is a lot when you are trying to go 600 miles. That adds up.
If you’re aiming to regularly drive 600 miles without taking a couple of half hour rest breaks you are an irresponsible jackass irrespective of how your vehicle is powered.
Ok smooth brain.
Did your family die at the hands of a tired driver or something? You are putting an awful lot of emphasis on something that doesn’t affect most people to the degree that you are hammering on about.
Yes, drowsy driving kills, we get it. Most people are not out there drowsy driving. They’re on their phones, or eating, or doing their makeup. Or even more common, they’re driving without incident.
