Business practice seems to be shifting, at least that's what I see where I sit. DHL has started delivering parcels using electric vans and from what I've read today's batteries aren't a problem for that.
Today's batteries aren't really good enough for driving on vacation, but private practice is moving too. The number of 25-year-olds with driving licenses is dropping, I've seen surveys that list the iphone above a BMW as a status symbol, and then there are phenomena like this: https://www.citymetric.com/transport/driving-london-has-been-falling-1990-has-city-passed-peak-car-1285 https://www.citymetric.com/transport/driving-london-has-been...
- greglindahl 8y agoI see plenty of people driving battery-electric cars on vacation; try hanging out at a Tesla supercharger and talk to the people there.
- figers 8y agoThis summer will be my 3rd year driving our Tesla Model X from Boston to Hilton Head, SC. Superchargers are everywhere, it's an easy drive. We also drive from Boston 2+ hours into NH to go skiing all winter, also a breeze...
- AshleyGrant 8y ago> Today's batteries aren't really good enough for driving on vacation Picked up our Model 3 in September. We've already driven it to West Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, as well as multiple trips inside of Florida. Hit 10,000 miles yesterday. I would never argue that road tripping in a Tesla is as worry-free as it is in a ICE-powered vehicle, but with a modicum of forethought I'd say the Model 3 is plenty good enough for driving on vacation today. The hardest part is limiting yourself to hotels that offer Level 2 chargers, but pretty much all new construction hotels have EV charging of some sort.
