their solution of having all Teslas drive to Tesla’s chargers is just keeping people dependent on “going to the gas station”
Don’t most people charge at home already? I feel like Supercharger stations are mostly used for road trips, or the small subset of people who cannot charge where they park.
I agree that going to a charging station to “fill up” is the wrong mentality, but I thought we had mostly moved away from that already.
Yeah anyone who can have already moved past that, but it’s still an issue for for people who don’t have the option of home charging. I’m just saying they should consider where they park and put a charger there instead of complaining about missing chargers being the reason not to go electric.
Nah, we have been in a situation now for a solid 5-6 years where if you can charge at home it is both cheaper and more convenient to commute with an EV, yet the internet is still filled with people convinced it isn’t viable because they make a single 400 miles trip every year
I have relatives who drove from Lapland to Italy and back in an EV without any planning but also without any delays in comparison to the same trip in an ICE vehicle. Gotta stop to eat and sleep on those long trips regardless of the car.
99% of people only need a car to commute anyway.
It’s really more of an issue of having people even bothered to try an EV instead of them clinging to Facebook talking points. They come along as soon as they actually need a new car, so I’m not really concerned about it.

It’s all talking points by now.
