Quote from: Scottt on April 09, 2024, 05:07:27John S. Happy to inform you that you can easily travel in a newer Tesla. We have taken our 22 Tesla model 3 RWD on multiple state road trips without a single issue. Prefer the driving experience on the trips. The overall ownership experience has been great! The rental car companies didn't think there EV purchases through. They didn't make sure the cars were rented with a full charge. They didn't educate people that had never driven or charged an EV in their life. They were sending people out that were unprepared. In addition, customers had all that performance, I'd bet that's why the increase in body damage. Totally mismanaged.
The key to EV ownership is the Tesla charging system if you drive nationwide and like to travel. Having a place to park and charge at home is the other big deal. I wouldn't buy an EV without a place to park and charge at night.

We have had the same experience with no worries on longer interstate drives. Home charging is also key. My wife has enjoyed daily driving with no stop at gas stations (EV charging stations) since she plugs in at home every night. People need to try an EV to see for themselves instead of listening to the naysayers out there. FYI, I am no fan of Elon, just a fan of the Model 3 RWD. I have no experience with other models but suspect I'd feel the same about them.

Quote from: indy on April 08, 2024, 19:20:57Just goes to show you the massive depreciation that occurs on pretty much every new vehicle.
Might as well wait a year or two before getting your car, it'll have the invariable bug fixes updated, now that cars are as much about software as they are hardware.
Still sporting a 2000 Civic. Cost $1500 in 2017. Rebuilt the clutch, but otherwise pretty trouble-free. Not bad for 7 years of owning a car that gets be where I need to go.
