yeah, go with that one. I'm enjoying my laugh at you all. There are only two ways, and I repeat, there are two only ways an electric car is viable; once it can be filled up in five to ten minutes and once it can travel more than 200 miles on a charge. otherwise, ain't happeningIn the not too distant future, they'll be laughing at us and our gasoline powered cars,
BTW, what is the battery charge life on one of these boondoggles? And, how does it perform in the cold?
Excuse me, I'm still laughing.
Cold weather takes my Volt from a 40 mile charge to a 24-27. 65 degrees to 70 degrees is where it charges the best.So with the Tesla I'm sure that 200 mile range tightens up in the winter. Also in snow and ice the Volt does not operate real well. There is no way to get traction on ice and snow because the battery won't spin tires to gain traction. We switched to gas to get up hills.
Last time it snowed in my backyard was about one inch in 1976; it melted before lunch time.
