Well, it’s a good thing that people can like different things than you. Good lord, talk about main character syndrome.

As a tesla owner for several years, I find this hard to believe. 15 minutes at a 250 kw charger doesn’t even get you 50%.

I can go buy a surgery robot but that doesn’t mean I know how to use it. Just because you own a Tesla doesn’t mean you know how to road trip it effectively, or have one that can do what I literally just did. For example, an early Model S or X can only charge at 120KW no matter what charger you plug it into, ergo no, it can’t do this. But any long range or performance model 3 or Y certainly can.

Part of the reason there’s so many stops (which I prefer and so do my wife and daughter, for that matter), is that if you keep the battery’s charge level between 10 and 50% from hop to hop, you end up spending much less time at chargers in general because you’re always charging at peak or very close to it. Sitting at a charger waiting for that last 10% at like 75kw from 70% - 80% is MUCH slower than hopping on down the road and charging at near peak at the next charger.

It works, I know for a fact it works, and I brought the receipts! Here’s a few examples from my trip:

30-60 minute stops

I literally just drove 2,077.37 miles from Central CA to Chicago over the last 3 days for another one of those trips, and the longest stop out of any of them according to TeslaFi was 26 minutes and that was only once, for a really long stretch in Wyoming that doesn’t have any chargers on it yet. Every other one was under 20 minutes, with most of them being around 10-15. The entire trip took 23 supercharging stops and added 4 hours and 23 minutes to the overall trip. That was with me running balls-out with autopilot set to 85 for as much of the trip as I could possibly do (e.g. slowing down for construction, etc), so my efficiency was only 65.66% which is pretty bad for my car.

I don’t know what you’re doing, but you’re absolutely doing it wrong if you’re spending 30 to 60 minutes to charge every time.

but HIPPA is fairly strong

Hopefully they abide by HIPAA too!

Don’t get an EV if you take cross country road trips 5x a year.

I’m an EV owner that takes at least that many 5000+ mile road trips a year with very very little issues. I’ve never once been stranded due to charging problems. I also however used my brain and bought the right car for the job, and right now that is a Tesla. Hopefully in a couple years once NACS becomes more mainstream I can move to another option.

Penn Jillette said it best. Paraphrasing: “I rape and kill and murder everyone I want to, and that number is zero. Why the fuck isn’t your number zero???”

How about you read the bill yourself instead of asking some dipshit on the internet to tell you what to think?

Interesting how you dropped the second half of that sentence to try to hammer it into your point about “oh em gee teh gubmint is gunna git me”.

The new law, which reforms the state’s conservatorship system, expands the definition of “gravely disabled” to include people who are unable to provide themselves basic needs such as food and shelter due to an untreated mental illness or unhealthy drugs and alcohol use.

I had a lady in the marketing department open a ticket with us many years ago when ILoveYou was running rampant and we had blocked yahoo mail, gmail, etc on our corporate network and she was PISSED because “I need to access that for my other job!”. Yes, she put that in the ticket. That was a brief discussion with her manager and a resume generating event for her.
