I was considering a Model Y. My excitement has been waning though.
10 years ago, I thought that today I would be able to move 3 hours away and sleep in the car and commute to work because of self-driving. Clearly I had big dreams. But today, the range isn't any better than a gas car, they're not cheaper, sure they're quick cars, but most electric cars are. Charging them takes too long, can't be charged at a in a dense city. If you forget that you're close to 5% Battery, have a long trip in the morning, can't charge at your place in the city, but still have tons of stuff to do at home before the trip. Your only option would be to leave your car someplace charging for hours.
At least with a gas guzzler you can fill up 400 miles in a few minutes. The new hybrid concepts seem really interesting.
- jeffwass 3y agoJust to respond to your city charging comment, I live in London and had my Model Y for almost a year. We have many on-street charging stations around town, which I use regularly. Sure it’s not as convenient as having either my own home charger or the speed of filling up a gas tank, but it’s definitely do-able, at least here.
