There is so much hate for Tesla its kind of funny. I have a M3-SR and its the most practical car i own out of 3. (other two are gas guzzlers -1 of them is a track car 6 speed manual) . By Far the Tesla is the cheaper option for me to drive and the most convenient. I charge at home and every morning its always ready to go the 190 miles i have my charging limit set at. I rarely go longer. I live in SoCal and have Solar so electric bill is not a problem, On long drives (say Bay area) i would hit most of the charging stations that are on the free list and this promo would be use full for thousands of tesla owners traveling the same route that weekend. Lots of people asked the question how long and how much does it cost if it was not free. Below you will find a road trip i did to Central Cal. I charged 4 times in between as we took a bit of a scenic route at times. Depending on the amount of charge i took each time- none were over 20 minutes in length. (most spent in restrooms or restaurants grabbing a bite)

Overall Supercharger is meant to be used for trips and is still cheaper than GAS but this argument of having to wait 20 minutes to charge is not really a case for 99% of days as my car never drivers more than 100 miles on any regular days and comes home at night to charge back up. I feel like fueling up and waiting for the tank to fill up is a longer wait than charging my tesla at home. Also waiting in line as a Costco Gas station would be way more than the 20 minutes. Its also not for everyone, Same trip in a modern SUV would cost me about $150 for gas with current Gas prices at $6.29 a gallon.(91-Oct)

Also- People bitching here are mostly the ones not owning one and this post is of no relevance to people who dont even drive a tesla but are here just for the troll :p. The below info is for the people who have showed an honest interest in learning something new or considering a TSLA

12/28/2021 Tejon Ranch, CA Supercharging $4.08
17 kWh @ $0.24/kWh$4.08

12/28/2021 Buttonwillow, CA Supercharging $12.16
32 kWh @ $0.38/kWh$12.16

12/26/2021 San Luis Obispo, CA - Higuera St. Supercharging $6.84
18 kWh @ $0.38/kWh$6.84

12/26/2021 Santa Barbara, CA Supercharging $13.30
35 kWh @ $0.38/kWh$13.30

That's not it. It's like asking someone on the internet how much insurance they pay, it varies based on location and situation.

Tesla M3LR has 82kwh battery in Virginia at 12c/kWh it could cost $9.84 for full battery, in California at 26 c/kwh could be $21. Others charge free at work (me), free at apartment complex, have membership plans, supercharge only, etc. etc.

Usually the average person saves a lot on gas and leaves house with full charge. IMO after getting used to charging, it's so simple and routine.

Define 'normal charge'.

If you mean from <20% to 80%, about 15-20 minutes if car is preconditioned. It's a walk to restroom, get a cup of coffee, and a few minutes to scroll-length of time.

Quote from sdpoker :
It's not about hating Tesla. If you think about it, it just makes sense. If you spend some $70 grand to buy a Tesla, you have got to find every possible reason to justify your spending. People who don't own Tesla are because they can't afford it or find a better way to invest their money to make more money instead of spending some $70 grands to buy something to impress their neighbors or the ladies. Hence the hates. It just makes sense.
Eh, with some past EV credits (depending on which state you live in) you could have gotten a M3 standard-plus in the mid-low $30k range. There are cost of ownership analysis out there that say its cheaper than owning a Toyota Camry. I was kind of apprehensive switching to an EV at first, but having owned one for a year now I can say that its better than ICE in almost every way - data on "sensible" objective metrics like cost of ownership and cost to operate, performance, reliability and safety are easy to find online. I totally agree that charging at home is so much more convenient than waiting at the gas station, and having solar panels pretty much makes it free to drive around. I no longer have to warm up my car in the morning or worry about maintenance and oil changes every few months. When i step on the "go pedal" i dont feel like im contributing to air/noise pollution. My initial concern was mostly about range anxiety but it turned out to be a non-issue. 99% of the time I won't need to drive more than 200 miles a day, and i'd imagine thats the case for most people. I just come home, plug it in and I'm ready to go the next morning. If owning one really can impress the "neighbors or the ladies" then hey, thats the cherry on top.

If anyone is curious in most of socal a supercharger is 58 cents/kwh during "peak" hours (11 AM - 9 PM). So a 75 kwh battery would cost $43.5 to fill up. I average about 250 wh/mi so I get about 4 mi/kwh. That's about 14.5 cents/mi. If gas is $6/gal then my model 3 would be equivalent to about 41 mpg.

Last time I checked it takes fossil fuels to make electricity. What percentage comes from atomic, wind, or solar? Wind and solar components are very toxic to the environment after their useful life. Where are all the used Tesla batteries going to be disposed at? Yes, the climate has been changing since the beginning of time. Not a damn thing anyone can do about it.
Whatever energy I use in my EV I put back into the grid with my solar panels. I can't do this with fossil fuels unless I have my own oil well and refinery in my backyard. if more people do this the less fossil fuel we have to burn to generate electricity, which in turn makes for cleaner air, less dependency on foreign energy etc,, seems like a pretty simple concept to understand.

Solid, localized waste is much easier to manage than dumping waste into the air.

I dont understand your argument about climate change either. Yes, its inevitable, but we can mitigate the economic cost by doing what we can. That's basically like arguing we're all going to die anyway, why bother wearing a seatbelt?

Unless you've been in hibernation for the last 100 years, this has to be one of the saddest oil shills on the planet. It's a good sign that their desperation has reached such lows Applause

How to generate electricity without fossil fuelds:
  • Nuclear
  • Solar
  • Wind
  • Tidal
  • Hydro
  • Geothermal
  • ... and more

Renewables are already at or below cost parity with fossil fuels. They've increased exponentially over the last decade at the cost of coal, which has dropped to 10% of total US energy consumption (that includes electricity production as well as heat for industrial uses).

Sorry to burst your bubble here, but you are wrong. First of all you need to look at the World as a whole, not just US energy.

The fact is that the amount of electricity produced by low carbon sources has been virtually unchanged since 1985. Actually the portion of renewables that increased did at the expense of nuclear not fossil fuels.

Look for yourself

Nice try with the whataboutisms. The 3rd world skews toward fossil fuels because it's initially cheaper, and those 3rd world nations have been bringing coal plants online at a rapid clip due to China's investments. That's a separate issue that needs to be addressed, but doesn't change the fact that 1st world nations including the US is rapidly shifting towards cleaner energy. Those investments have brought the price down immensely and will be adopted in the rest of the world quickly too because of pricing. I get it, it's hard to see exponential growth when the initial curve looks flat. That's a natural human limitation that takes discipline and research to overcome. Renewable energy has doubled in the US in just the past year or so. That growth will continue due to cost advantages alone, not even accounting for pollution pressures.

But But but it's not a separate issue. It all contributes to the GLOBAL warming and all of the bad things from burning fossil fuels. see they are on the same planet as us. I know this is hard to see, that is a human limitation I guess.

This is just a plain lie. Yes, it has doubled in the last 10 years, from 10% to 20%. Not 1 year or so.

Please try to at least recognize facts.

Before accusing someone of lying, crawl out from under that rock and get up with the times. Renewables quintupled from 2010 - 2020.
https://www.wri.org/insights/grow...-explained

That article even has colorful charts to help you understand.
The doubling was of absolute power generation. Looking at percentages doesn't reflect that because coal also increased due to high energy demand, particularly by China. That will change rapidly because wind & solar are now cheaper than coal. It's a matter of scaling up to meet demand.
Whether it was wind alone, solar alone, or a combination for the doubling, and the exact number of months, I don't have time to do dig that up for you. Expand your sources instead of burrowing into that echo chamber.

Quote from KMan :
Well, the things that people always say make living in a city like NYC so great, like culture, crowds, the energy, density, etc., I ended up either getting turned off by or didn't find appealing enough to make me want to stay, and the things people always say make living in a city like NYC so bad, like crime, dirt, noise, traffic, etc., never bothered me that much. I guess I'm weird that way. I choose to look at it as I did that and it's time to move on.

I mean I did so many of the things you do if you live in a big city, museums, plays, concerts, the park, cafes, eating out, festivals, outdoor movies, etc. I guess I'd just had enough and needed something quieter and slower paced. I'm more of an introvert and I guess that dense city life just isn't for me. I'm glad I did it and even more glad I'm no longer doing it.

I should also add that I was there on 9/11, and finished a job across the street from the WTC earlier that year, and as with many it made the city a whole other, less pleasant place for me to be, and leaving soon after and moving cross-country just seemed right at the time.
That last part brought back some heavy memories and I had to take a little break from posting. I hear you. It's also not the same city and is less of a "deal" than it was before.

Moving on is good, as long as you make time for the best stuff... or stuff you are the best at.

Yeah, to anyone who wasn't there that day, it's hard to explain. I just didn't want to be there any longer. Yeah, the terrorists win, blah blah blah. But honestly I couldn't care less about that. One's mental health comes first. The associations were just too strong and I needed physical distance. Moved to Seattle by spring, which was more than far enough away, and loved living there. Far more affordable, far less stressful, no associations with that day. I'm back but not in Manhattan. Never want to live there again. I don't hate it, I just don't feel the need to redo that experience. Queens isn't so bad, and I've got most of the things I really need here, parks, stores, cafes, restaurants.
