Not surprised.

Looks like a Mustang driver.

When are people going to learn that Tesla vehicles are shite?

This is something I don't understand from someone with half a brain. Motor and engine efficiency numbers are easy to get. Line losses and charger efficiency are fairly common numbers. If you are concerned enough to bother arguing about it run the numbers yourself. What you will see is the worst-case scenario for EVs have them slightly more efficient than ICE vehicles and the energy costs much less.
Internal combustion engines are fairly inefficient and the older they are the worse it is. All that noise you hear is lost energy. All the heat produced is lost energy. The hydrocarbons you smell in the exhaust are unburned fuel and lost energy.
Of the arguments to make against EVs efficiency is one of the worst.

I am sure you are taking into account the cost, refining, utilization of the heavy rare earth metals used in the batteries am I right?

So you are saying it would be more efficient to burn gasoline to make electricity and transmit it over the grid than use gasoline to power ICE engines?

Musk is claiming he will have a solar option but it only provides an extra 15 miles per day. That solar carport looks interesting

quote:Obviously you wouldn't use gasoline at a power plant, but yes, it is more efficient to burn fossil fuels at a plant to generate energy, transmit, charge, and use it in an EV, than it is to burn it in a vehicle. Not only are larger heat engines more efficient than smaller ones, but by generating the energy in a central location to power many vehicles, the engine can run much closer to optimum at all times since you are smoothing out the load.

Nothing worse than a Mustang driver that thinks he has a fast car.
Which pretty much sums up the whole lot of male Mustang drivers.
Mustangs are for females aged 16-30.

Tell us more about Tesla and their environmentally-friendly lithium-ion batteries and the equally environmentally-friendly way their rare-earth elements are harvested.

People think it’s some gotcha that tesla uses the earth’s resources to produce cars.
No one cares, but some people bring it up in every EV discussion like people give a shite. It’s weird.
People act like every Tesla drive is out here buying a Tesla to try and save the world and go green. Those folks are very rare, most are getting a Tesla because they're just better performing cars than other cars in their price range.

So how do you flee a hurricane in a Tesla?
- You sit in the Tesla
- You press the brake
- You put it in drive
- You drive away from said hurricane

And sleep in your Tesla in McComb, MS?
People fleeing a hurricane in an ICE vehicle stay in a hotel, but people fleeing in a Tesla don't?
Is there some law I missed where Tesla owners are not allowed to sleep in the same places as other non EV owners?
quote:There's quite a few of them but mainly my question would be, why does the Tesla owner have to get a hotel in the city where the supercharger is? I'm not following here.
Suppose everyone does hop in an electric car and evacuate north. They blow right through McComb and end up... where? Suppose the real range is 300 miles... where is this place full of hotel rooms and electric chargers 300 miles north of New Orleans or Biloxi? Jackson- and where else?
There's McComb, Hattiesburg, Meridian, 2 in Jackson. And that's just superchargers, there are many other destination charging spots as well, many at hotels where, as far as I know, Tesla owners can stay.

When I actually researched the charging options I was impressed

Most chargers aren't even up on V3 yet(the fastest update) and you still usually only need 10-15 minutes per charge to get you to 80%, which is generally enough to get you to the next supercharger.

If you paid much attention you would be complaining about cobalt extraction instead,
Their future state batteries plan to use zero cobalt, and they are currently using less cobalt in batteries than any other EV maker.
