Platinum Contributing Member Steve753 Posted May 6, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 6, 2023 So when you take charging into account you would be lucky to go 50 miles on the Autobahn before you'd have to stop for a charge. Is there a charging station every 50 of the 8000 miles on the Autobahn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member BOHICA Posted May 6, 2023 Author Gold Member Share Posted May 6, 2023 Not much different than other high performance cars running full out….. https://www.autoblog.com/amp/2014/07/16/2015-dodge-challenger-srt-hellcat-will-hit-199-mph-burn-1-5-gal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. What if you run out after 40 miles a hellcat is capable of going full out. Depending on the spacing of petro stations they may not be spaced out perfectly on the 800 mile autobahn to let you go near full range before having to fill. You might have to be filling at 25 miles on a hellcat but enough of the retarded talking points of range in 200 mph plus supercars. That tesla is very impressive when all out, and extremely composed when just driving normal according to top gear. Rare for a car to be 200 mph plus very composed vehicle vehicle and still be lives liveable for long road trips of normal driving speeds.

Yes you will need to stop and fill up as needed like any other vehicle. Duh! The AI system in the tesla will tell you when to stop. Doesn’t really take much at all planning. The planning part is just inputting your final destination into the navigation system and the car does the planning for you.

That's right. You can't go. Grid is slowly expanding north. But in the lower 48 the charging network and electricity availability is pretty extensive. But like typical hypothetical arguments I doubt many supercars capable vehicles are going all that remote. There are places that Hellcats can’t really make it in Canada or Alaska comfortably with out planning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
