Never waited in line for charging. Never seen any homo's at the charging stations. Curious, since you wave at all the homo's, what else do you do with them?

One thing this thread proves is there are huge misconceptions about tesla on both sides. I didn't buy mine to save the world or be part of the in-crowd. I bought it for the technology, gas savings and unbeatable performance. And it has surpassed ALL of my expectations with those three things. I can't wait to see how all the other car makers create EV's in the near future.
Over 2 pages of strong opinions. Perhaps you don’t understand what cares means?
Or should we discuss 2 valve mustangs so you can understand?
Funny, I made the exact same trip two weeks ago as well in an ICE car. We stopped in Indy for lunch because the group was hungry. Would have been plenty of time to recharge a car.
Total side note but the bourbon trail was well worth if you've never done it before. And even more of a stretch it wasn't you that I ran into at 3 Boys distillery and again at the taco place was it?!

I maybe wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure you're full of shit.
As of May 2021, the longest range available is just over 400 miles, not 600. A Supercharging station does not get you a full charge in 30 minutes. The best stations with the fastest charging cars are 80% in about 40 minutes. Also, every manufacturer tells you to use a slow charge (like at your home) as often as possible because the more often you rapid charge your batteries, the more you shorten the battery life and the vehicle range per charge. If you're charging your car at home, it's an all day (or night) thing.
Don't think that because people don't own one, that they are incapable of having family and friends that do... and bitch nonstop about them. Oh, yea... I can read the manufacturer and enthusiasts publications, too.
EDIT: Forgot to add that the long range cars are all north of $80k. An affordable middle-class EV only nets you about 250 miles on the high-side... and you're still looking at $40k+. With the average annual income in the US being about $55k per year... even $40K for a car is hard to manage.

No one cares about the so called positives of EV's, it's 2 pages of people caring that the faggotry is taking over the industry.
My car is faster around a track than your plaid and takes 30x the skill to do so, sitting in a seat while picking boogers and letting your car wipe your ass for you is not what being a car guy is
Sure... I believe the software said it. I mean, I lost count of how many times I charged my cell phone and it reported that it has 38+ hours of battery life... but I only got 7 or 8 hours out of that charge. So a screen grab from the app doesn't really prove anything.
Even if I am wrong and you are being 100% straight (which, again, possible), the long range EV's start at $80K+ and it still takes 30-40 minutes to charge. Very few people can afford to spend $80k on a car and I can still fill-up in 3 minutes, not 40. Saying you can do it while you go get a sandwich doesn't make it any less time. Most days I struggle to find the 3 minutes to get gas. I'm not going to blow the better part of an hour wondering how late I am going to be because my car's batteries are run down.
I'm glad you're happy. It's not right for me. As I said, I like the tech. That said, it doesn't change the political drive (not the free market) and 20% of EV owners are going back to ICE for a reason. I am pretty sure they aren't lying about those reasons.
Wait… the guy with likely well over half a million dollars in vehicles and 800 horsepower cars… is watching his pennies for gas savings ?
There was a guy who brought their Tesla to Mosport and drained the battery in one session. It also went into limp mode on the track. Total POS car. #v8manual4life
I saw this at Maryland International Speedway, too. Dude said he went to a charging station near the track so he would be 100% when he made his T&T passes. He made 5 passes in about 15 minutes. Every pass he got slower and slower. He overheated the batteries and had to get towed back to the charging station because the batteries discharged to the point that the car wasn't drivable. It was an S model.

We just had one show up to Area27 too, made a damn fool of itself. Another guy managed to stuff one into the wall a couple weeks ago... Now THAT is sad...
I have no doubt the Plaid is one fast ass one lap wonder but thats for the handi darts to clap about.
Odd. Brooks from dragtimes never complained about those issues at the track when he was beating up on red eyes.
I guess it’s the same as saying I know a guy with a Shelby who blew the trans at the track. Or I knew a guy with a demon that blew his rear diff.
either way the plaid is the fastest production car on history. All this internet keyboard warrior crap does nothing to change that.
Just pray one of those “homos” or “****” driving one doesn’t catch one of you big mouths at the light.
otherwise it will be your asshole bleeding and not theirs!

Now I know you're full of shit. No demon or GT 500 ever failed on the track ever period!!!!!!
Sounds like you're curious so I'll answer. I usually tell them their Tesla is gay. And I'm calling bullshit on the 600 mile range, you must be using blue state math.
Sure you do bud. Just run up to random Tesla drivers and tell them their gay. Are you even old enough to drive????
Funny. When I went to the track last year with my 3, and ran 3 consistent 11.9’s, not one person came up to me and said my Tesla, nor myself was gay. They were all super impressed with the car and how quick and consistent it was.
