Great points, but ultimately it will be market demand. I guess I should rephrase it in that I think there will be more individualized chargers basically anywhere and everywhere, but a centralized gas station model will likely become unnecessary with the exception of very fast chargers...

That really stinks. I've coast to coasted a few times and haven't experienced what you have. I guess chargers from LA to Florida on the I-10 corridor are in better shape or serviced by a superior company than where you are in New England. Often there might be a charger or two down at a few...

They definitely have one, but their timeliness on the repairs is questionable. I've noticed the more remote the location, the longer it stays down, which I guess makes sense, but is frustrating. I will say that at least EA thus far has arguably the best customer service experience of just...

Definitely agree with all of the above. I think location especially dictates your EV experience. I live in West Texas and travel along I-10. EV's are not as dime a dozen as the West Coast and some areas of the East Coast here. I've literally road tripped across Texas on the EA network...

I agree. Ultimately though, we are in the growing stages of EV charging infrastructure, and EVs are unique in that the vast majority of folks fill up their car every night in their garage. I'm sure many of us have gone months or longer without ever needing any sort of public charging...

I am more of a sports car guy, but definitely would consider the R1S as a family car. I think Rivian nailed the design and features on their vehicles, and they check the boxes needed for charging speed and range. Hopefully they are able to improve their production and deliveries. One of...

I actually agree with you OP. Being an EV guy, it's hard for me to imagine a better car at the price point. Not a fan of the styling but it just checks of so many boxes and is probably the most fun EV to drive that isn't a Taycan. The biggest thing for me is the lack of maintenance and oil...

I hold a decent chunk of Tesla stock. Ironically, it helped me pay for my recent Taycan purchase.

The reviewer clearly wanted a Tesla. Range and one pedal breaking are all they really cared about it seems. The irony is the the Taycan and soon the Lucid are the fastest road trip cars out there.

For all practical purposes, the Lucid appears to be a superior car. Unfortunately, it's just too damned ugly. A Porsche gives you a smile every time you see your car in the lot as you approach it. A Lucid definitely doesn't do that.

This is tough to say. It's probably even less. Sometimes you read enthusiast forums and threads where issues pop up and a few prominent members experience them, and you immediately assume the issues are commonplace. Just looking at some of the threads here where folks ask questions about...

EQS is definitely a welcome edition to the space. Model S owners looking for more luxury will be in for a treat. The exterior is definitely not pleasing to the eye. It's not ugly, but it doesn't make you smile everytime you look at it, like a Taycan does.

EPA has it at 31 miles. My boss drives one and our commute is mostly a straight shot of freeway with no traffic at 75mph, and she gets about 27 miles out of it consistently.

Honestly why I think longer range plug in hybrids have a good purpose. Especially in SUVs where aerodynamics are more difficult. My wife has a Cayenne E-hybrid that for her day to day uses just the battery (which is only about 25 miles range). When we need it for longer trips though, it's...

If and when Porsche does an EV Boxster/Caymen, I'll be in line for that. We've had a couple of Tesla's and I would interested to see their cheaper offering that's rumored as my commuter. Otherwise not really interested in them anymore. The Mercedes offerings are interesting, but the sedans...

Must be nice. Some of us have small kids that have to stop. That's when the video games are a lifesaver. Honestly, our EV trips aren't much different than with ICE cars because we have to stop a lot anyway.

Sure, but that honestly probably happened to them. I live outside California in West Texas, and even to this day, with a Tesla Service Center a mile down the road from me, Tesla's still aren't crazy common and still get looks. Having a Model S for nearly 7 years (sold it last year), there...

You might not like them, but they're very nice features on an EV road trip.

I don't really think that's true, and even if it is, why is being a Tesla fan a bad thing? It's entirely possible to enjoy more than one car brand, we don't live in a world of absolutes. That said, many posters here are current or former Tesla owners, so they can give a fairly objective...

In all fairness, on a Model 3, the screen is the information source for the entire vehicle. Maybe the toybox and games are a gimmick, but the amount of information and usefulness of the screen is stellar. Tesla has pretty much set the standard for infotainment screens in vehicles over the last...
