[konceptjones]

This is what congress is pushing on us?? Aside from the fact that EV's are inherently terrible for the environment, charging them takes longer and the amount of time they can even stay on the road is significantly reduced once it gets cold outside.

A lot of those trash cars are going through it in these temps.

 

[Chi-Town B]

I don't know why these car owners don't invest in a charger for their homes

We have charging stations out here at certain stores and them bitched been packed with a line for the last few days.

Because a surprising number of them live in apartments and townhouses where they can't install charging stations.

Didn't even think about the people living in apartments. How long does it take to charge?

 

[already home_17]

are other EV’s having this same issue or just Tesla’s?

 

[Loch121]

It’s like that movie Leave The World Behind

 

[BlackRain]

Because a surprising number of them live in apartments and townhouses where they can't install charging stations.

And properties that have them are limited in the amount they have. Its usually just a handful. That's why you see folks using those ones in public parking lots so much

 

[konceptjones]

All of them, Tesla is just the most common by far. Hybrids also have issues in the cold.

14 hours if doing it at home, work with Tesla owners and they told me they have to start changing soon as they get home or it won’t be ready by morning.

That on top of it being worthless once the battery dies after 6 years is why I would never own a Tesla

Mine still work

I seen this one guy who lives in a townhouse who has a charger for his tesla I always wondered how that worked

 

[BountyHunterRo]

Do you own a Tesla charger?

 

[Sony Montana]

Do you own a Tesla charger?

Gonna do it at some point but its really not necessary to have

I was looking at the electric hummers
lowest charge time for them is 40 minutes
all these electric vehicles are for just driving around a 50 mile radius you can't
really go long distance with them like a gas vehicle
