Competition from the machE?!... all 25 of them? Good to see that CarMax sees the writing on the wall that they're going to be completely obsolete in the future because people are not going to be owning Vehicles they're going to be getting their vehicle to pick them up using the Tesla Robo taxi service we could say goodbye to dealerships all across the country including CarMax so it's good to see CarMax trying to Klingon whichever way it can...
Oh my God I never would have thought that technology would have a learning curve that you would have to get over so you can operate it properly it almost seems like my cell phone that I'm writing this message on right now when I first got this thing it was so hard to operate I had no idea what I was doing now that it is the norm it is completely easy to operate a cell phone because cell phones are everywhere and they're all close to the same interface just like there will be Tesla's everywhere and they will all be the same interface...
So wait you mean to tell me if I'm in my car and I hit the accelerator really hard it burns more gas than it does if I accelerate softly while I never would have thought that really makes me want to keep my ice car and keep the status quo as it is and keep every anything from changing
Yeah the charge time in 15 minutes is about half the battery capacity or a little bit more that's getting up to 75% this is the fast-charge time and it's actually better for your batteries and not charge them to 100% and only charge them to 80% and discharge to only 25%. Just like it's not a good thing to over fill your tank on your gasoline vehicle because otherwise it will overflow into your evaporative system and flood your evaporative system and just as it is bad to run below a quarter of a tank with a internal combustion engine because the fuel injectors will get messed up unless you have an old carbureted engine it is very bad to run below a quarter of a tank with fuel injectors
I've got 3 kids... 6 and under.... 2,100 miles to drive to grandma's for Christmas... and you think I'm driving THAT across country in the winter time!...WoW. You couldn't PAY me to do that.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 Lmfao.... this "market" doesn't know what their talking about... protection is the roof over their heads food on the table n cloths on their persons that I provide.... not what kinda potential bomb of a battery I'm driving. Good try on the burn bro... 👏
@@paulsandvig6961 That is completely ok. You will find out the hard way that fossil times are over. Maybe you can afford a 5 ton Cadillac with a 200kWh battery in a few years. Who knows? I would never drive such a contraption. But the Americanos were always a strange folk.
Yak, Yak, Yak for the Price this thing should go at least 500 miles on a charge in the Winter Time the battery pack should last for at least 500,000 miles and the Vehicle should be trouble free. Also the financing should be very affordable. Until you meet all of this Criteria the vast majority of people in the world will not be able to afford or purchase one of these Vehicles.
No. That would make it too heavy. It should go to the second Supercharger if you depend on driving 000miles each day. Thrice around of course. I drive mine about 250-350km 3 times a week on the Autobahn. In Winter i have to recharge at any of 3 Superchargers on my route. In summer i don't need them. Whats your typical distance? 500 miles every day? Or many times a week?
that only depends on where you live and what energy resource you're using to produce the energy to charge your vehicle.. if you have solar panels then it's entirely renewable and has no carbon footprint :) However, if you're in a state that primarily uses coal or natural gas it still has a carbon footprint but not as much as a car with a tailpipe. Do some research if you're interested in lowering or learning about EV emissions versus fuel and you'll learn a whole lot about how beneficial renewable energy is at not only the environment but on your wallet as well! As the country shifts to renewable energy it'll be much much better
I drive an EV for the performance and home charging convenience, not for environmental reasons. If you’re concerned about the environment, ride a bike (or get solar panels and drive on sunshine). A moderate rooftop solar array produces about 25,000 miles worth of electricity per year.
@@DubstopherWubson13 no carbon foot print? Probably should do some studying. It actually still has a bigger carbon footprint even if you have home solar panels. Research is your friend. 😉
@@hydrojet7x70 frankly that's just not true, but i'll assume you're just unwilling to learn. That's okay the information is out there and it'll come to you sooner or later :)
@@paulsandvig6961, about 2 weeks. From San Francisco to Santa Fe and Taos, NM with many stops in between there and back. A few of those were Las Vegas, Flagstaff, Sedona, Death Valley.
@@zews1 ok, that makes sense to use an EV. The destination is the road trip. Plenty of stops to charge. Good. Well I wanna go 2400 miles in 2 days time, from the 4 corners of Colorado to the UP of Michigan, with as less stops as possible, spend 6 days with the family for Xmas, n take 2 days to get home....now here is my question...is that possible with an EV?
@@paulsandvig6961 It's possible, but if your mindset is to get there ASAP you will get frustrated because it will take longer than in a gas car. Very roughly, I would estimate it takes 20-30 minutes longer per 400 miles.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 wolfie: i live in arizona. No matter how you explain it what can be the problem wanting to know that I can travel from Phoenix to LA in August in comfort?
@@larrysorenson4789 I was in Phoenix once in the 1980s visiting Grand Canyon. You want to tell me you are driving Phoenix to LA and back every day or - lets say - 3 times a week? You have my pity.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 nope. But tomorrow my family and i are a actually driving to Orange County, about 340 miles away. While the outside temperature will be only 98 or so in this trip, it willExceed 115 in August. Just what is your bitch with expecting this of an electric vehicle for this this trip? It sure seems like a expectstion to make.
The cost is calculated per kilowatt not per mile. This particular car shown in this video has a battery size of 82 kilowatt. Tesla superchargers in my area cost 30 cents per kilowatt. So 82 x 0.30 = 24.60. To charge this car from 0% to 100% would be $24.60
Great review. They are nice cars but as a main vehicle they’re not there yet. When they can produce a tough commuting car then more people will buy them.
Its only the most sold car in Europe in March 2022. Yes, i know, no biggie, thats Europe we are talking about. Only the toughtest EV market on the world. Certainly no commuting car for US boys. I drive mine for 50.000km a year without issues. Surely not good enough for commuters.
@@curvetrcalinga Nope. Ferrari is best but both are fossil so they don‘t count. Not at all. If you talk about EV that would be Rimac aka Bugatti-Rimac.

I have a Model 3 mid range.
I love the crap out of that car

Yes, because its the safest car in the market. But if you don't want to proetct your kids thats - no thats not understandable...

To bad EV’s make a bigger carbon footprint than internal combustion fuel vehicles!

this is great news
I have the 2018 Model 3 LR RWD. We have done a 3,100 mile roadtrip with it without any issues. Will do it again this summer.
How long did ur 3100 mile road trip take u? Did u drive straight to a destination or was ur road trip the destination?

@@paulsandvig6961, it’s possible with any Tesla that can drive from supercharger to supercharger. Use the on board SC map or ABRP to plan your route.
@@paulsandvig6961 It's possible, but if your mindset is to get there ASAP you will get frustrated because it will take longer than in a gas car. Very roughly, I would estimate it takes 20-30 minutes longer per 400 miles.
Do the mileGe test the first tone with the heater on full. Do a second test with the ac on max. Anything else is pointless.
What for? It has a heat pump and stops at 50 degrees. I don't think you want to drive in 50 degrees - Celsius of course.

Electric car has no difference between highway or city
I right?
I am not sure what your are asking? Does it use more energy when driving faster? Of course, thats called air resistance.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 no. Energy used per miles in city and on highway.
EVs are more efficient in city driving than on the highway.
How much does it cost per mile to charge at a Tesla charging station
The cost is calculated per kilowatt not per mile. This particular car shown in this video has a battery size of 82 kilowatt. Tesla superchargers in my area cost 30 cents per kilowatt. So 82 x 0.30 = 24.60. To charge this car from 0% to 100% would be $24.60
