I've been in a Better Place car here in Israel and experienced the swap, it works. Also, Shai Agassi recently completed a full cross country trip (North to South). Small country, but still.
What makes you think this is not a viable solution?
- spullara 14y agoIsrael is only 263 miles from north to south. The Tesla S (85kwH)can go 300 miles. Seems like the Tesla might be overkill for that country.
- kamaal 14y agoHmm, This seems to be a perfect use case for Israel.If you are a regular office goer, charge once and may be use it for a whole week and half.
- sbierwagen 14y ago"Small country" is a bit of an overstatement. If Israel was a US state, it'd be the 47th largest.
- marshray 14y agoYou mean the 3rd smallest? That doesn't sound very big.
- jlgreco 14y agoExactly. It's about the same shape and size as New Jersey (smaller actually). I can't count the number of times I've driven across the entirety of New Jersey without a second thought because I wanted a cheeseburger.
- kamaal 14y agoOne poster says Israel is around 263 miles north to south. So you drove ~250 miles many times just to get a cheese burger? Seriously?
- Hannan 14y agoNew Jersey is about 170 miles North to South from the tips. But parent said "I've driven across New Jersey," which can be as little as 40 miles East to West depending on where you measure from.
- jlgreco 14y agoIt was about a 75ish mile trip now that I look at it on on google maps, that was the closest White Castle there was. ;) In any event, New Jersey would make a really small country. I know of people in this country who have to drive further to do their shopping.
