They had real effects where I couldn’t make side excursions traveling partners wanted, and had to stay for extra hours at other stops because the next charger wasn’t high speed. Instead of wandering the open world we needed to stick to the schedule or risk being stranded. Solving for the range of the vehicle became the primary constraint, especially when we got somewhere the Tesla told us had chargers but they weren’t functional. It didn’t run out only because of the anxiety, I don’t understand why because I was able to successfully navigate this at great effort compared to ICE cars that the problem doesn’t exist or the effort isn’t real?
In any case, dismissing this as a pathology when anyone brings it up, even when they want the same electrification that you do, doesn’t help anyone! Longer range batteries are what the market wants. Tesla isn’t crazy here, that’s why they are building their plans around it.
