55 miles or so, about 1h15 min. Mostly backroads. So 110 miles or so a day, issue is nowhere convenient to charge, can't charge at my BIL's house and I would have had to seek out a charger and wait there. Obviously that could have been done...but I was grateful I didn't have to worry about it. Had enough to worry about.
you posted this video with no comment, what were your thoughts?
i liked the video because it wasn't really flashy just solid info. a tesla that's done 430k mi and less than 30% battery degradation is pretty amazing.
Also to add on to my last post, only about 20 to 25 percent of Californians own an EV. Wish it were higher, but maybe that's why Austin doesn't have the highest EV registrations
you keep repeating that statistic i guess hoping it's true, but it isn't. ~25% of NEW CAR REGISTRATIONS are ev's but there's about 1m ev's on the road there apparently which is nowhere close to 25% of the cars on the road in a state of 39m people.

Totally agree that you had enough to worry about. And obviously I can't speak to the facility where your MIL was, but I've unfortunately visited 5 different hospitals and rehab facilities in the past few months, and every one of them had accessible chargers, which I noticed despite not having an EV. So that may have been an option, though obviously a few extra minutes to park and a small distraction.

This was a small regional hospital without any available parking because the garage was under construction, so the only parking was valet. No chargers. I parked down the road in some Dr office parking lot to avoid letting them valet the S580.

Of course that's what I meant, and I've said it many times that I'm talking about new car registrations. It would be crazy to even try to push a narrative of 25 percent of 40 million cars or whatever the number is. Yes, to be clear, I'm talking about "new car" purchases

glad that's what you meant, because this doesn't say that. -

We're working on it... Come and walk down my block. Off the top of my head:
Me: on 2nd Model 3
Next door: RAV4 EV gone, on 2nd Bolt
Next door: Model 3
2 houses across street: Bolt, MYP, MYP
Down street: at least 3 Y's, Nissan whatever, and the incredible Taycan at the end...
Lightning around the corner...
Check out this lease deal that I saw on FB from a local dealer...
I would be surprised if you were able to walk in and get that deal without negotiating. It took me one month of back and forth emails just to get the "advertised" lease deal on our Ioniq 5, and even than they kept trying to pull a fast one like "that color is $2k more" or "that car was just sold". But maybe times are different now

Agree! ...
Their current offer on the RWD is $479 for 36 months with that same amount down:
