Still the Tesla's are a very impressive vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snopro31 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 So their trip would be cheaper with a gas car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toslow Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Did you factor in charging time on that road trip? Dont know what an hr of time is worth to some, But for me if I’m waiting around for hrs for a car to be charged then that also should factor into price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnDean Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) The guy in the article plans a road trip stopping at friends and family homes, so he can sponge free fuel off them. Then writes an article about how cheap his road trip was. Edited July 24, 2022 by MnDean 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted July 24, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted July 24, 2022 Seems like your typical EV driver leaching off others….. “We charged 12 times at Superchargers, getting 206 kWh of electric fuel from Tesla, and this cost us $95. But our total trip used 517 kWh (the equivalent of 14 gallons of gas) and the other 311 kWh (60% of our fuel) came from plugging into standard 110 volt outdoor outlets at our generous hosts’ homes.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie McCracken Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 At least no one can put sugar in the tank of your car. Hope they spent the $350 on power steering and a Landau roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
