Tesla had a battery swap system that was faster than filling a normal car - but it turns out the demand wasn't there. Granted, there is still a disadvantage to doing long distance runs on battery, but it accounts for a relatively small percentage of driving.
- brudgers 9y agoFor some people, 200 miles is long distance. My next door neighbor on one side commutes fifty miles each way and uses their car at work. My next door neighbor on the other side commutes about 240 miles round trip three or four days a week. My friend Bill, lives in Montana and drives 130 miles each way to taking his children to the dentist or shopping at Costco. The nearest Tesla super charger is about two hours away from his house. The road to it is closed in winter...from about October until May...but then even sometimes until it gets plowed. Sure most of my trips are less than 200 miles. But the majority of the miles I drive are on trips of 200+.
