You do realize that a Tesla's range is about from The Villages to Atlanta, GA?

And that when "idling" in heavy traffic no electricity has to be used in the Tesla. But gas often is used because it uses less gas to idle and pull forward than to turn a ICE on and off and on.

Most ICEs would not do well trying to make the trip to Atlanta on a heavily congested interstate.

But, each to their own.
