please bro, way more recalls from other manufacturers
# of deaths proven to be caused by this "issue": 0
Most of the "complaints" were all filed by one dude, who does not even own a Tesla and he's been at it for near a decade of this nonsense now-
https://electrek.co/2016/08/26/te...n-failing/
Despite NHTSA looking into the alleged issue and reportedly not finding anything, the Australian in question, Keef Wivaneff, is still filing his bogus NHTSA complaints about Tesla.
I suppose the other difference would be are you regularly trying to drive super long distances in like 30 below weather or something-- EVs do take a significant range hit in those conditions so that would be an entirely valid concern... but otherwise, in a Tesla?
You leave the house with 330 miles of range... let's say you stop after 4 hours, roughly 250 miles of driving.
You stop for 15 minutes to use the bathroom, get drinks, etc.
Now you get back into the car with ~260 miles of range.
You drive another 200 miles or ~3 hours.
You stop again for say 10 minutes for similar reasons and put 150 miles back on the car, then drive say another 150 miles.
You've now gone 600 miles, with a total of two stops, and 25 total minutes of stopping. If you were ok driving under 20% range you could've gotten 700 miles with the same amount of stopping but I was being conservative there.
Then whenever you ended up you plug in for the night and wake up with another 330 range in the morning.
Where's the problem? I mean if you're wanting to do 1000 miles a day (as I already said) then yeah you're gonna need two more 10-15 minute stops, but otherwise seems fine to me and not much different from the stopping you'd do in a gas car unless you're a pee-in-gatorade bottles in the car person.
Now, all that said, I personally if I need to go more than 500-600 miles am probably going to be flying-- but I recognize if you're a family of 6 or something that gets a lot more expensive compared to driving-- but with a bunch of kids you'd probably be needing to stop MORE often, not less, regardless of type of fuel.
Few years ago, I drove to Florida and keep driving about 4-5 hours before stop.
Again, everybody is different. Some people travel with kids just like what you mentioned.
Some travel alone.
Some travel with friends.
I went to Yellowstone and we drove 4-5 hours and switch driver.
We have camping group going all the different state parks and stay there 3+ days….
I am not sure how many supercharger in those state parks..
But as I said, different situations and different perspectives.
You seems putting everyone in the same bucket…

Lots of people go camping for days in their Tesla rather than a tent that exact way, so they can sleep in climate control and protected from weather.
You seems putting everyone in the same bucket…
Not sure you how get to that conclusion when I specifically called out at least 5 different exceptions/situations that can change the math on this (weather, kids, type who never stops for bathrooms, folks who drive 1000 miles a day, people who fly if it's more than 500 miles away)
1-They make a 1000 mile range EV
2-No charging stations ins shitty walmart parking lots
3- Give rebate for ppl making 300K+
4-Swappable batteries
5- Tesla Hybrid that runs atleast 100 miles on gas
Love Tesla tech though..
A year ago I was a no-EV no-Musk person - I now have a Model Y. I spent a lot of time educating myself about EV's and about Musk and changed my mind. The more people that own EV's, the easy the decision becomes. Five years from now, EVs will be the norm. Most multi-car households will have at least one EV. There will always be luddites but they will look increasingly more crazy as the years pass.
I've 3 other vehicles currently in use and two of them use Lexus original weather resistant floor mats; however, I noticed that the black fabric mats hold up pretty good. So I decided to keep the original mats and sprayed on 3M Fabric guard. I also added a few Carbon Fiber items. I think I may have invested more than $1000 in accessories. For some reason, even though this is not my most expensive vehicle purchases but I really want to add accessories to this vehicle. I also have the vehicle tinted but didn't tint the roof or the front windshield. Last but not least, I did have the PPF put on the front bumper only.
I paid $4500 more due to Hybrid and barely saved $5000 for driving it close to 8 years.
The replacement battery costs me over $12000.
Bad Choice. Pay more up front and repair cost more, also have to keep it more than a decade to be saved some money.
I will not buy any Hybrid Car.

The first few years I was able to get 52 mpg. And the 48 mpg. After 6 years, about 42 mpg.
But back then hybrid technology just started. I think now it is much better.
But still getting hybrid or plug in hybrid is not for me.
Getting two engines, battery and also need to do maintenance normal gas car does but more expensive.
For me, either straight to EV or stay with ICE car
Still, rates can vary drastically, even among different Tesla models. Below are the median annual insurance rates by Tesla model, ranked from cheapest to most expensive:
Model 3 ($2,574).
Model Y ($2,905).
Model S ($3,785).
Model X ($3,861).
These rates are for full coverage insurance for good drivers with good credit. We used the median rate (rather than the mean average) to provide a clearer picture of the full range of insurance rates across the country. The median is the midpoint between the highest and lowest insurance premiums.

A year later, I bought 2023 Tesla Y.
I will get another New Tesla 3 in 2024 for my daughter. I will not buy any ICE in the future. I will not go back.

However, the car is so much bette than the garbage BMW x4 because everything is automated. The shitty BMW still need the stupid key for unlock and lock.

Makes me wonder why Tesla doesn't just advertise more if they want to sell more. Cutting price will only anger the current owners who paid $20k higher about 1 year ago. Offering a lower interest rate would be better than slashing price by 2 to 4%.
It's all because they can and the lemmings fall for it everytime.
