We just got the base tesla model 3 and have very similar stats. It's just a fantastic car all around, fast, comfortable, quiet, and we love the tech!

Teslas are sold without chargers these days so we've had to use superchargers but it's surprising how easy it is to grab 20 minutes of charge and be on our way. Once our charger gets installed (tomorrow!!!) we'll have 270 miles ready to go every single day, plenty of range.

Can't wait to take a road trip with it because the darn thing drives itself, it's amazing!

Oh yeah and I couldn't care less if it's battery powered, if an ICE car could do what the electric car can do I would have bought ICE.

I guess that will be a road trip with frequent stops, like every 200 miles or so

The vast majority of the time its used by my wife to go back and forth from work which isn’t too far about 15 miles each way. She only charges the vehicle once every week. It will take about 8 hours to go from 5% to 100% on our level two charger in the garage. As an added bonus, Hyundai includes free charging at Electrify America chargers for 2 years. We didn’t buy it to save the planet. We drove it and loved it. We got $7500 tax incentive taken directly off the MSRP and an additional $2500 discount so the Limited trim version was 48k. I’m looking forward to trading in my Toyota Camry in the next year and am certain I will go with another EV. Quiet, Fast, Comfortable, no fumes or smells, no carbon monoxide worries, and little to no maintenance required. As for road trips, I do plan to drive it to back and forth between NY, South Carolina and Florida. We are the type who get restless after 3 or 4 hours of driving and take frequent breaks. Charging the vehicle to 80% in 20 minutes while I’m grabbing a snack or using the rest room isn’t a problem.

My wife has a clotting disorder and needs to walk about 50 paces every hour or so so we stop pretty frequently anyway. Even so, you could bang out an 800 mile day with only 3 stops so it isn't too bad.

If you can do 1000 miles in a day with only 2 stops....well I tip my hat to you, Sir!

I have been loving my EV for 3 years. But I only use it to drive around town (95% of my driving), and charge it in my garage about once every 10 days. The few times I have had to charge it "on the road" was simple, and I had lunch while it was charging. This is an awesome technology, but best for folks that have a simple EV charger in their garage, and a gas car for the spouse.

If EVs are so great, why are you sticking your spouse with the gas car?????

Your only expertise is being a TOTV perma-poster who prides himself in chastising everyone's discussion topics if they don't fit your narrative.

Please enlighten us again on how many alleged eagles you've had.

I honestly don't know what "narrative" to believe but......You don't think the 30 billion tons of CO2 that humans produce each year has any effect on the atmosphere and environment? Are you saying we can pollute all we want and it won't make any difference? Are you completely refuting the old saying "Give a hoot, don't pollute"?

(that's 81 trillion pounds of Co2 per year for the imperial until crowd)

Toyota has just announced a breakthrough in battery technology -solid state batteries that are projected to give a driving range of about 600 miles. Sounds like they will be coming up in the 3 or 4 years.

So why are atmospheric CO2 levels at a relative historical low???????

Not "my narrative", the unbiased scientific facts

But I'm glad that you have the psychic intuition to know what my "only expertise" is What's your expertise????

And I have no idea what an "alleged" eagle is, you're either 2 under on a hole or you aren't. Or are you an alleged golfer?????

My issue is that, if climate change is a global problem, why are U.S. taxpayers being asked to pay for it while China and others are laughing all the way to the bank.

Because China and others don't have to push a false narrative that will enrich a few powerful people if they convince enough voters that humans are causing an imminent "climate change" that will wipe out all life on Earth in 50 years.

That will be news to many scientists. Levels seem to be at their highest point in the last 40,000 years and increasing.
