first, I have 2 cars with a combined value of less than 10k. that's a far cry from 50k on 1 car. second, no it can't. That's the one they use to do the traveling I'm talking about. They don't take the pickup on the road trip.
- enraged_camel 14y agoMid-range is typically around 250 miles, which the Tesla can do. As for budget, sure, the Tesla is a bit on the expensive side, but it is not difficult to afford for middle-class families.
- clarky07 14y agoall the other mid range cars can do another 250 in 5 minutes.
- enraged_camel 14y agoIrrelevant. The point is that if your destination is less than 250 miles away, then it doesn't matter whether the car charges in 5 minutes or 50.
- clarky07 14y agoIt's not irrelevant, as the whole point of this particular thread was the hypothesis that many people want to travel further than 250 miles.
- CapOpp 14y ago"Many" does not mean most. Cars which need to drive more than 250 miles at a time are a niche market. The only reason there is a desire for that amount of range is because of the incredible inconvenience involved in stopping at a gas station multiple times per week.
- jfb 14y agoOf course, the model with the 85Kwh battery is significantly more than $50k.
- Arelius 14y agoAnd the Tesla's value drops over time also. I don't know the exact set of cars you own, but I imagine that together they were likely worth more than 50K new.
