It is dramatically slower than ICE cars dude. Over time ... it will still be dramatically slower. Teslas are an expensive fragile toy for rich people that can

    There are right and wrong ways to do charging on a road trip. If you’re such a noob that you’ve only done it once, you very likely may have been doing it wrong. So I wouldn’t give your anecdata much weight.

      I would give your anecdata precisely zero weight because it directly contradicts with the hundreds and hundreds of Tesla owners I’ve met and chatted with. Musk is a false prophet dude, leave his religion, your faith in him will not benefit you but it MIGHT make you die in a car crash.

        Hundreds and hundreds eh? How’d you manage that?

          Spent a lot of time at Superchargers bored as hell because supercharging sucks. Wound up talking to hundreds of other Tesla owners over the course of hundreds of supercharging sessions.

  Slower refueling on road trips only, not when near home. The best part is when not on road trips, just charge at home and never visit a gas station. And no alternators, starter motors, fuel pumps, carburetors, oil, etc., etc, etc. Expensive? Not so much when you consider all the extra constant maintenance costs of an ICE car.
