The Tesla SuperChargers only take about 40 minutes to charge the batteries from 5%-20% to 100%.

During Irma, Tesla was able to allow more range with an over the air update. Tesla’s get over the air updates every month or so with advances in technology.

The most exciting recent update was Sentry Mode which enables all 8 cameras to video your car in your absence. Many owners have been able to go to the police with video in hand of hit and runs, damage by careless drivers parking too close and damaging the Tesla, or hateful acts like “keying”.

The technology is pretty amazing. I am hoping to get my model 3 in the near future!

Tesla is adding SuperChargers all over the map. Every rest area on the Fla turnpike will have Tesla SuoerChargers it was recently announced.

As far as safety. TNHTSA has given Tesla 5 star ratings. It’s always headline news of a Tesla catches fire in a crash. But there are many more Internal Combustion Engine car fires than electric car fires. Look it up!!
