I am curious where do you live and what's your commute were Tesla is not viable. I have a Tesla and have driven 12,000 miles all over California. Never been an issue with charging. The 100D can do over 300 miles on a single charge. So curious about your situation.
- maxerickson 9y agoThe 100D is pretty clearly not a mass market product. I guess it is close to the average price of new vehicles sales, but I think even $35,000-$40,000 is pushing it, especially when that range is going to be closer to 250 miles than to 400 miles.
- Aloha 9y agoI live in the eastern Seattle suburbs currently, but I have lived other places. In a previous life, it was not unusual for me to drive 300+ miles a day. A larger issue (for me, and I suspect others) is; Where would I charge it? my apartment complex doesn't have charging facilities, neither does my work - and the nearest supercharger is 20 miles away from me. In short, the 'fuel' delivery network is missing for me.
- jhpankow 9y agoYes electric vehicles are a status symbol for home owners.
- greglindahl 9y agoMy apartment complex has chargers, and in some places there are chargers along the street. As time goes on both of these are going to become more popular, but you can be sure that people who don't have a charger available will still be coming to HN to post in every electric car thread about how they don't have a charger.
- eip 9y agoFord sells more F150s in a year then Tesla has sold vehicles total since they started. How easy do you think it will be to find charging stations when there are 50x as many electric cars? How many extra 500A 240V circuits will the grid of a city need to support for that many charging stations?
