re: 10 very fast cars slower to 60 than the Tesla S Plaid

Not sure what the logic is behind that planner. It's clearly broken or has some kind of ridiculous parameter that you stop whenever you hit 50% battery or something.

It says the 400 mile range model S has to make even more stops than the 350 mile model 3.

Pensacola to Fayetteville is about 750 miles.

A model 3 LR has a 358 mile range. So you need one longer stop in the middle (lunch) and one shorter 10-15 min stop near the end. That's about what the average ICE family roadtripper is doing if we're going to be honest.

Edit: That's a 12ish hour trip. If you're doing that trip with the wife and kids you are stopping at least twice no matter what and probably more like 3 or 4 times. The EV needing to charge is probably at worst a wash on that type of trip.

You're either using a really bad site or inputting the wrong information.

I just used the website for A Better Route Planner:

3 charge stops total:

- Vicksburg, MS - 25 minutes
- Little Rock, AR - 17 minutes
- Ozark, AR - 7 minutes

If you have a wife and couple of kids making a trip that long, you are stopping at a minimum of probably 30 minutes even in an ICE vehicle. This is 49 minutes.
