[QUOTE="08mojo, post: 16362141, member: 132915"] The reality is most people don't take cross country trips. The other reality is there are a lot more chargers than you'd imagine. The extended range model 3 claims a 320 mile range. Let's say you get 80% of that in real world conditions, so 250 miles. At 250 miles, I am ready to get out of the car, stretch my legs and grab a bite to eat. Tesla even makes it easy to route your trip: put in your destination and it will plan your route to hit the charging stations as needed (and it will do all of the driving for you). The network of chargers is even pretty good today--and we're in the really early stages of infrastructure. [ATTACH=full]1622152[/ATTACH] But let's be more realistic: How often do you take that 250+ mile trip? How many households only have one car? If you make that 250+ mile trip often, do you not stop at all? I get this is a performance car forum and we're all gearheads. There is a lot more to the EV story and I like where Tesla is going. I still want my fun/toy car, but I find the model 3 very appealing for daily driving duties. [/QUOTE]
