What a crack up! Of course…
What a crack up! Of course he doesn't tell anyone that the battery wasn't pre-conditioned (immediately) beforehand, not to mention other factors like what was IN USE during charging and such...
Also, gotta love how he states that 44 minutes is "Quite a bit longer than one might stop for lunch or to use a restroom while traveling to a destination." I guess he only eats at drive thru restaurants when traveling!
I know that on one 'regular' trip that we take to Las Vegas, we always stop at the Chili's restaurant (about 3 hours out or 180 miles) for lunch and to 'charge up' (even though we COULD go MUCH further) and every time we do, I get a message on my phone just about the same time our food ARRIVES that my car is charged and I need to move it! Typically after about 30 min. Oh, and we're usually there for about an hour total time...
OH, and BTW, it's not 'extra' time because when we drive in a GAS car we STILL would stop after a few hours to eat, go to the bathroom and stretch our legs afterwards before hopping back in for the next 3+ hours...
I guess the author is in a HURRY when they are on vacation and just eat at FF places (maybe even gas station food! Yummy!) and use those nice, always clean bathrooms that gas stations have...
I will take my Tesla over ANY gas powered car when it comes to commuting OR taking it on vacation! More comfortable and we get to spend more on the VACATION instead of on gas!
