If you live on a small island like the UK that range covers most trips. However I keep expecting someone to create a roof box range extender (combustion engine) that just charges the battery.
It will be interesting to see were the supposed Apple car will fit in, I imagine they will go after the low volume / high margin market to start.
- ams6110 11y agoRange extender as a add-on is an interesting idea. Could be done as a trailer also. But I imagine that people who can afford Teslas will either just rent as needed, or own a conventional car for longer trips.
- robmcm 11y agoBMW offer this as an extra when buying an i3, but really you want to use your Tesla with all it's autonomous driving all the time right! "BMW i also offers additional mobility modules which allow even longer distances to be covered – for example a conventional BMW vehicle can be provided on a given number of days per year." https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/pressDetail.html?title=bmw-i3-concept-coupe-european-premiere-plus-intelligent-range-enhancing-solutions&outputChannelId=6&id=T0137344EN&left_menu_item=node__6729 https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/pressDetail.html?title...
