We drove back and forth between our Villages home and our home in the Berkshires 5 times in the last year. That’s a 2,750 mile round trip. When driving that far I find it annoying to have to stop for 5 minutes to fill up the gas tank. Having to find a charging station, hopefully one that is not being used, and then waiting for a charge is simply not an option. Can a Tesla handle dirt roads during mud season where my 4WD truck, with aggressive all terrain tires and generous ground clearance sometimes struggles. Can I let the tire pressure on a Tesla down to 12 PSI and drive it on the soft sandy beaches of outer Cape Cod? Can I tow my camper through the hilly terrain of northern New England while barley noticing a performance decline of the tow vehicle like I can with my truck. Oh, and can I attach a snow plow to the front of a Tesla and easily plow a foot of heavy wet snow? And exactly where in the Tesla can I transport a downed 8 point buck so I can get it to the butcher? |

You can't compare the current Tesla offerings (sedans and crossovers) with a truck. Now, when the Tesla truck (the Cybertruck) is available later this year or early next year then you can make comparisons. For example, the Cybertruck will be able to tow 14,000 pounds, will have a maximum payload of 3500 pounds, 16" of ground clearance, and a range of 500 miles.

. NEWS>>> Everything You Need To Know About Tesla Model 2 Tesla may just land an affordable vehicle on the streets, the Model 2, quite soon, and here is everything we know about it. A more affordable car than the Tesla Model 3 could very well be on its way. It isn't speculation but a promise by none other than Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk himself. The Tesla Model 2 may be one of the most exciting cars of the decade. Not only shall it bring electric mobility to the masses with its affordable price, but it could also revolutionize the way EVs are perceived and manufactured. Musk hasn't yet commented on the time it would take for the new Model to see the light of the day, and neither has there been any official statement by the company. However, several speculations suggest that the new car will be called the 'Model 2'. Though we're yet to see any design updates on the car, it would be safe to assume it shall be jaw-dropping, considering Tesla's reputation. From me>>> THEN THEY HAD TO RUIN IT.... by stating>>>> According to Musk, Model 2 will likely be manufactured in China for the global audience. Reports have also suggested that Tesla would be building this new car entirely in China. NO THANK YOU!!!! https://www.hotcars.com/everything-y...tesla-model-2/

Most power outages are due to weather events. I guess you can say the the power grids need to be "hardened" against the weather. Texas and California are the prime examples of weather issues. Power generation in the US has been flat for about a decade at about 4 trillion kWhs. The fuel sources have changed quite a bit with coal down and natural gas up. Apparently this is currently sufficient but I would expect this to increase somewhat over the next decade or so to accommodate electric cars. However, keep in mind that most recharging will probably be done at night when demand is low so peak loads might not be impacted that much.

The government makes more on gallon of gas than company producing it, THAT’s why they get tax breaks/subsidies.

Depends on where the power failure is.
