Agreed. I have a Tesla and charging is a non-issue with a level 2 charger at home. When on road trips, Superchargers are strategically placed along the route and you usually don't need to charge to 100%. You just need to top up a certain amount (e.g. +25%) to get you to your final destination.

At least for the Bay Area, there's a lot of people who rely on superchargers. A large amount of people live in condos or apartments that are all street parking, no where to charge. It's unfortunate because the chargers are ALWAYS clogged at many locations. On my Model 3, I usually just use the CCS adapter now but even that's not working out so well any more. The Electrify America, etc chargers are always taken since there's many new non-tesla EV's on the road. The charging infrastructure is really starting to show it's weaknesses

a 10-80% charge should take about 20 min and give you more than 200mi of range to get to the next supercharger. thats usually how I calculate routes. divide total trip mileage by 200 and multiply that number by 20. thats how many min you will be charging for the entire trip.

I’ve charged to 100% for the past 6 years. It has 180,000 miles and range went from 256 miles to 190 over the years.

Your comparison between ICE and BEV is like a century ago between Steam Engines and ICE because they missed the smell of burning coal and the steam so much! BEV's have only positives over ICE, like letting your AC run while you shopping, sleep in your car with AC on etc etc.. Inconveniences like the places to charge and charging speeds will improve very very quickly!

I just took delivery of a Model Y and my next goal is to get the X Plaid. They are awesome cars. 🎉

question is, will you be buying one. excellent content today !!

I switched from a RAM to a Tesla Model Y. not to protect the environment or anything but simply to save fuel. I drive 2-2500 km a month. and that's a huge difference at a petrol price of unsaid 2 € per liter. I am very satisfied with the Tesla and the superchargers are also well developed in Central Europe. I almost only charge at home with an 11kw wall box

You aren’t locked to Tesla supercharging stations. You can get a CCS adaptor and charge at other high power stations if they are closer.

The supercharger you chose to do your example in the garage was a slower speed charger. 72kw vs 120 or 250.

When are you straight piping it?

Great vid as always, but nobody charges to 100% at public stations lol. Waste of money and time since after 80% the charging slows down almost to a halt. The trick is to keep it to 80% max in public stations.

Comparing Tesla 0-60 to real performance cars is like comparing a microwave to a BBQ grill

The thing is combustion engines have an efficiency of 30%, electric motors have an efficiency of 80-95%.

Pretty sweet X3 Plaid I must say. Looks unreal blacked out with that combo. I'd be charing 99.9% of the time in my own garage and just need to plan ahead a little on road trips. Charging stations are located near restaurants, malls and coffee shops so you get other things done while you charge. You don't sit there and stare at the charger like we do with the gas pumps. Just a change of habits I suppose. I remember when I had a diesel car and when travelling it was often really hard to find diesel in some towns had a few close calls. That doesn't really happen with modern day EV's that have these crazy digital maps and GPS systems built-in with all the charging stations and details mapped out. Currently drive the F150 Powerboost hybrid but I'll make the switch here eventually....probably in the next 3-5 years once more choices and availability are out there and it doesn't take 1-2 years to receive the ordered vehicle although Tesla is one company you can probably get vehicles much faster currently than the rest of the companies out there because they control much of their own supply chain....which is smart. Anyway, enjoyed the video and liked that you changed it up.

With all that weight i wonder how this equates to pre mature tire wear or tire load.

Did you weigh it fully charged? Is there a weight difference if its charged or not? Ps: Im sure the motors help with the braking too, maybee thats why they dont need bigger brakes? Its still alot of weight thats comming to a stop so bigger brakes might not do anything, the tyres just have that amount of friction.
