Have to plan on a minimum of 3 charging stops, probably 4. That's a substantial time waster. Plus the general anxiety of finding an open charger when I have someplace I have to get to on time. Just decided it was too much aggravation and advanced planning for my taste. Decided to drive our Cadillac with Super Cruise so I can get used to semi-autonomous driving that will be fun. I can stop one time each way at one of a zillion gas stations for a 5 minute fill up. I enjoy driving the Tesla's. The one we have with the largest battery available and ludicrous mode software is very quick 0-100 MPH. But they are ugly and have no sound. Somewhat of a drawback aside from playing "Where's Waldo" looking for an open charger.

Idk maybe it’s differnt where you guys are but in the north east it’s a non issue. You plug it into the GPS super charger it says where there’s one conditions the battery you stop and charge quick and go . And charge for $40 Vs $139 in my diesel. Every time I read an anti Tesla post I think what are these guys talking about. But it’s never anyone who has spent any time in a Tesla. .
I hated teslas before I owned one, even when a freind of mine let me drive his model 3 a few times still hated them. . Couldn’t argue w the stats though. I bought my hellcat before the Tesla x plaid. No way I’d have bought a hellcat Vs the plaid especially a model S plaid. Runs a 9.17 stock inthe 1/4 mile !!!!! . Even at 710 HP it’s like a chevette compared to the plaid . The torque just isn’t there like the electric . They DO have a sound it’s just a different sound more like a turbo. I probably wouldn’t buy a lower model if you’re gonna buy one buy a plaid. I know everyone wants me to lie to them but this is the truth . This guy built the most amazing car ever, it could be improved as can any car but it’s the whole package.
In my opinion it is what the GTO was when it came out a game changer . Same w the pony car . It’s. A game changer. It’s hated by the right because it’s electric and the greenies started that .
It’s hated by the left because he said people should vote right this time around and he bought Twitter . So everyone hates the guy I get that. But the cars stand on thier own and destroy everything else.
