That lost time would infuriate me. Never needed to sit and wait 45 minutes enroute on 400 mile trip maybe 15-20 minutes at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus 45k miles no time wasted going in for service such as oil changes. For example just this week I went filled up the wife’s car. She didn’t have time to stop and fill it up on her way home from work and had wedding stuff for a friend to attend to. 5 minutes to the gas station 5 minutes fill and 5 minutes back. Takes like 10 seconds to plug a car in at my home or destination with maybe 15 minutes or so enroute on a road trip for charging.

I have yet to pay at lodging accomdations on road trips. Tesla destination chargers they are not allowed to charge for use unless they install 6 or more. Tesla gives businesses the chargers for free.

Gold Member BOHICA Posted July 3, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted July 3, 2023 In 2020, Electrek reported that Tesla upgraded Destination Chargers with Gen 3 Wall Connectors, and the automaker told property owners that it would enable paid charging with this new generation charger. For the most part, Tesla’s Destination Charging locations have been free with the only requirement at some places being that you be a customer of the business where it’s located – for example, if you use at a hotel’s Destination Charger, some locations require that you are staying at the hotel. The cost of electricity from the chargers would be covered by the business. But with this new Wi-Fi-connected Wall Connector, Tesla said it would enable businesses to charge for the use with the seamless experience Tesla’s charging networks are known for. Tesla has now updated its Commercial Registration for Wall Connectors form to include the provision for paid charging, but the automaker confirmed that it will only let property managers with six or more Wall Connectors to activate the feature: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are likely going to need to fill with gas before you leave on a road trip, at your destination maybe a time or 2 before returning from your destination depending how long you are at your destination and how much you drive and likely some point when you get home. Where it might take a few extra minutes on a long drive you save time at your destination and at home. Also not having to have regular scheduled services like oil changes done it is a huge time saver in that aspect if time is a priority of an individual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toslow Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) Im Just used to travelling up to 11 to 1200 a day and only losing maybe 10 minutes of travel time. You know only need to fill up once in that distance in today’s new ice cars. hell if I had to stop two or three times to charge up at how much of a cost and how long of a time, sure seems like one hella inconvenience to me, so if we are really talking about time of an importance. Yeah i think id still stick with my gasser as it beats your ev hands down Edited July 3, 2023 by toslow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would spend some time in an EV on that range for charging. I know I’m stopping to piss a few times on that trip and likely grabbing coffee and some eats during that journey. My stop in a gas car would be likely a fair bit more then just 10 minutes in a gas powered vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charge stats and comsumption and cost. I don’t think your son is all that familiar with road tripping a Tesla and is likely one of the ones that will charge at a super charger for 45 minutes to get to 90%+ Edited July 3, 2023 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried a trip to Maine recently and it was a pain. They had to go out of the way to get charging. Couldn't stay where they wanted to stay.(no charging) They take the truck if they go long distances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toslow Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) What are they comparing that gas savings to? For 230 bucks i can drive over three times the distance you went for what looks like 78 that you spent, my micra can travel further than your ev and i don’t have to stop four times to charge Edited July 3, 2023 by toslow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Steve753 Posted July 3, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 3, 2023 The best is in the winter. Use the heated seats? Lose range. Use the heated steering wheel, lose range. Need heat, lose range. Stronge head wind, lose lots of range. Like to go real fast on the highway, lose lots of range.

Using 270 wh/mi that is about 3.7 miles per kWh.. 727x3.7 is 2692 miles the last 31 days. Call it 2700 miles on $78…. Feasible Micra?
