Even with access to the Tesla Supercharger network? I have done several long distance drives and have had no issues. Never had concern on running out of charge as the car plans the charging stops as well. As a bonus, having the car drive you on the highway, relieves a lot of stress, especially in heavy traffic.
@@fredcomstock1100 Until it drives into a semi truck at highway speed because it thinks the white truck is the open sky ahead. A young "driver" was instantly killed this way as he foolishly trusted his Tesla to drive him as he watched videos on his phone. Not to mention countless people killed from Teslas either suddenly applying hard brakes for no reason at highway speed or speeding off at full speed uncommanded and unstoppable due to a computer glitch.

I have had Two EVs and this Video is Totally True . They are ONLY good for local shopping. I took one to Texas from California and it was A Joke waiting in line for hours waiting for a charger and chargers that do not work. They are Just a Golf Cart for around Town . Charging away from home Sucks Big Time.
As of 2022, coal made up of 19% of US electricity production as solar & wind climbed to 23%. In 2023, more than 50% of the added power generation was solar while more than 60% of the retired plants was coal. Coal is on its way out.
I live in extreme Southern Illinois in a county over 600 sq miles and a population of 16k . There is ONE charging station at a Casino with 4 outlets .... EVs may be viable for Cities but not now for Rural areas at the present time
6:37 um dos problemas dos EV é essa expectativa de carregar em casa. Veículos a combustão vão até o posto mais próximo e ninguém nunca reclamou disso, ou seja, nunca ninguém pensou em ter gasolina na sua garagem ou calçada. Esse ponto me chama atenção porque assim que Ford lançou seu primeiro automóvel, já surgiram postos de combustívl em toda esquina. No caso dos EV não. Aqui no Brasil se eu cobrir 2000 m² com placas solares já produzo energia pra carregar vários EV's, creio que na Austrália não seja muito diferente. Talvez carregar uma bateria de grande porte e depois "descarregá-la" nos EV seja uma forma de carga rápida. Ou seja, eu acho que existem saídas. MAs ninguém investe nesse negócio e isso me alerta. O governo dos EUA teria disponibilizado 6 bi em emprestimos subsidiados para postos de carga, só que não apareceu interessado. Eu gostaria muito que alguém me esclarecesse a respeito desse "detalhe".
The sheer energies of powering a residence and charging up an EV are vastly different. One might get away with doing the 9 to 12 hour "overnight" approach, but likely won't have "extra" energies left over for the residence itself. And the "quick charge" variation would require a complete redesign of the whole home system $$$$.
@@AndieBlack13 A typical residence is about 30kWh/day and a typical EV is about 15kWh/day. The point is that of the millions of houses with solar installed you would be hard pressed to find any where you would be unable to charge an EV either from that solar or the grid or both.
The amount of power EVs demand is HUGE. No home solar system could do it by itself, it'd have to be on the grid, and even then- there's not enough power in the grid itself to charge lots of EVs. Most places have barely enough power to keep home A/C working, there's none left over for EVs. One charging station for EVs could power at least 10 homes!
@@deniswauchope3788 15kWh/day gets you about 50 miles/day in an EV. I have a DIY solar power system on my house that delivers 50kWh/day on average. That's enough to charge the car and run most of the house. Also, the grid is only tapped out for a few hours a day. Most of the time, like the middle of the night, there is plenty of extra power available to charge EV's. Note: One 250kW EV charging station could easily power 10 homes, maybe as many as 40 homes.
If she has a job (likely) then she’s at work during the day. She’s at home overnight when the sun isn’t shining. Charge overnight means adding a battery - the cheapest 10kw battery is $12000 AUD. To fully charge even a baby 50kwh EV battery means …… ridiculously expensive outlay. Or, if she had a petrol car she could just put about $80 per week of fuel in it and be fine. She’d get most of that back on cheaper insurance, tyres (tires) and less depreciation.
6:40 Nunca vi um posto de combustível público. Porque pra EV existe essa expectativa? Ninguém nunca se perguntou a respeito disso? Percebo que virou lugar comum esperar que existam postos de carregamento público. Vão exigir postos de combústivel públicos também?
That's 42 Australian Dollars a month. AUD is about 70 US Cents. She was saving $1 USD per day with her tesla and that is with High fuel prices in Australia. If she had bought a Mazda 2 she could have fueled it for 20 years for the price differential. The Mazda 2 would produce less carbon over it's life also, considering all the carbon emitted in manufacturing the tesla.
I do not know what the cost of electricity is in other countries, Here it is about $0.13 per KWh. Also, less carbon? You park your ICE car in your garage and my EV in my garage. Both run our air conditioners and see who dies first.
@@fredcomstock1100 Where does electricity come from? Here's a hint, it's burning fuel. So every time you charge up your electric car, you're doing it by burning gasoline basically. ICE cars burn the fuel over time, EVs require all the fuel be burned now so the electricity is available to charge the car. As you increase the number of EVs, you need to burn more oil to generate more electricity constantly, because you ALWAYS need to be able to charge the hoard of cars. EVs don't provide a net benefit to carbon emissions, they still need electricity so they still need oil to work. EV companies just hide that by making it so the car doesn't produce emissions DIRECTLY so they can BULLSHIT you and say their car is GREEN when it's actually just burning oil in the background instead. Also if you got an electric and an ICE car and turned on the AC, you'd be running both those things off the car's battery, so uh.... No, neither of us would die in that situation. You're thinking of running the ENGINE, not the AC.
People should be able to decide what they want to drive, the government subsidies for EVs should stop, the downside to EV ownership has been silenced and downplayed until more recently, which just goes to show how invested the government is in this fading EV fad

People just have to acknowledge that not all technologies can be applied to every applications. Golf carts are pretty much all electric because that is the best application. Steam worked great for trains, but not for cars. Large OTR semi trucks predominantly use diesel fuel, because that is an optimal application. Electric semi trucks are disadvantaged by battery weight, range, and charging time. For many people currently a hybrid is the best solution. If we changed fuel it to alcohol it would be as seamless as going from leaded to unleaded gasoline.
I'm favoured, Getting my own Truck has always been my Dream for my business. I just acquired 2 recently, earning $32K weekly has been really helpful. I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support Charity Organizations.
Hello, how do you achieve such biweekly returns? As a single parent i haven't been able to get my own house due to financial struggles, but my faith in God remains strong.
I raised 75k and Kate Elizabeth Becherer is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her.Kate Elizabeth Becherer is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!
Imagine being a mom with children in the EV when it runs out of charge, night is falling and the only available charger doesn't work.... I wouldn't have one if you paid me.
All you talk about is why I won’t buy an EV . They don’t have any advantage over gas cars. All you’re doing is moving the carbon foot print issue somewhere else .
For people who still think that EVS are useless, do your research, because you all sound as thick as mince! Petrol and diesel are going to be stopped like it or not. Bev vehicles are not only a superior technology, safer, better to drive they are not the future they are, now!! Their future is only just starting, the EVs including their batteries will be On a different level again in just five years, the only thing going down is the prices!😂😂
Went from PA to CA in a Tesla Model Y, using Tesla software to route us and had not one issue. After driving 4 or 5 hours you usually stop for bathroom or a snack. The ev did not take one more minute than an ice auto. I guess I'm just lucky or maybe it's the Tesla.
Yeah, sure, you had a perfect time. Must be all those tesla superchargers that Musk laid off the teams for so he could give himself a few billion dollars raise.
If you pulled 10,000 lbs. with a ICE, your gas mileage will drop significantly. I have a friend who pulls his camper, he gets less mpg. I also have friends with Tesla and they say they would never go back to a regular gas car. I also noticed you were in other parts of the world and not in the USA.
The ICE has considerably more range pulling a load because it started out with more range to begin with. It can also be filled up again in a few minutes. I Notice, you didn't say the gas truck had LESS range that the Battery model when towing. Very clever of you. When you step up to diesel truck, the Battery truck is just a turd.
@@robertkubrick3738 Not to mention, batteries are fucking heavy. The more you increase the range of the electric truck, you can ONLY do that by making the battery bigger. Make the battery bigger, you make it heavier. Make the battery heavier, and the truck has to work harder to move it. If the truck has to work harder to move it, it'll use more power and thus have less range. Electric trucks just don't make any fucking sense. A diesel truck's weight doesn't change that dramatically, in fact it gets LIGHTER as it drives because fuel is being burned off. With more powerful engines comes, well, more power. You can get more bang for your buck, meanwhile with an electric, the ONLY option is make the battery bigger, and that has insanely shitty diminishing returns. Companies that switch from diesel trucks to electric suffer, this is just a FACT. EVs are NOT good for moving heavy loads.
Car more than 6 years old, no issues this far. BTW, wait until you need a new engine or transmission. If the battery goes, it’s out of warranty which is 8 years, you get another car.
I own a Mercedes EQS 450 for almost three years and wouldn’t go back to to gasoline Once I took two thousand mile trip and in one day drove 600 hundred miles easily in one day without a problem Most people charge at home it’s very convenient and very cheap even in California where electricity is very expensive I don’t think you know what you’re talking about
The problem is that most Californians live in apartments and rentals where they cannot charge at home. They are stuck with the expensive, wait-in line, public charging stations, half of which don't work. Instead of a 10-minute fillup at a station a couple of miles from home, you have to drive a long distance to a Tesla charger and wait an hour or two to get to 100%. No thanks. I will stick with the convenience and much cheaper cost per ICE vehicle.
I do declare you are talking rubbish. I have had them as hire cars, all you think about is range and charging. Never ever had that in my non battery cars. Ever. Period. In the last 40 years of driving.
@@gilleyb1900 it depends on how mentally capable you are. You need to worry about charge less than you worry about fuel. As I just told it on my driveway so it’s not really a worry. It’s also less than 20% of the price per mile. Which is just the cherry on top!
@@RacerX1971 after 10 years, 0.3% of Tesla batteries need to be replaced. Of these over 90% are covered by the warrantee. You guys need to start trying a little bit harder than those old lines.
@@Crdtew5127 Actually, if you drive less than 250 miles a day, you can charge at home. It would take 8 hours to charge 250 miles using NMEA 14-15 connection, and less than 6 hours with a Tesla wall charger. Insurance is comparable to a BMW or Audi mid-size, although liability is much lower as Tesla are one on the safest, if not the safest cars, on the roads today. Even with a bit higher insurance costs, a Tesla has the lowest operating cost especially when you charge at home (70% savings over gas).
Sounds like you've never looked at your car. That or you're just lying and writing off the maintenance expenses like they don't count. Never replaced your tires have you? Just because you may have gotten lucky and you never use your fucking car for anything doesn't mean people who actually use their cars or just have bad luck don't need to pay exorbitant prices and wait unreasonable lengths of time for MODEST repairs. One bad pot hole and your car is for the scrap yard.
Just wait 'til you need a new $20,000+ battery and/or see how much it depreciated because it will need a new battery which will cost more than the car is worth so it will be sent to the junkyard, how are these disposable cars ecofriendly? Plus you need to drive them 10 years to offset to pollution made to make the battery and you'll be lucky if the battery lasts 10 years.
These are all real stories that real people experienced that many many many people experience every day...... What are you shilling today sir? Are you also going to not understand how electricity works? That's a common theme I'm seeing.

Just because you may have gotten lucky and you never use your fucking car for anything doesn't mean people who actually use their cars or just have bad luck don't need to pay exorbitant prices and wait unreasonable lengths of time for MODEST repairs.
One bad pot hole and your car is for the scrap yard.
Just wait 'til you need a new $20,000+ battery and/or see how much it depreciated because it will need a new battery which will cost more than the car is worth so it will be sent to the junkyard, how are these disposable cars ecofriendly? Plus you need to drive them 10 years to offset to pollution made to make the battery and you'll be lucky if the battery lasts 10 years.
INFORMATIVE !!!

Are you also going to not understand how electricity works? That's a common theme I'm seeing.
