Going from 19s to 18s should make the ride a little softer and possibly add a bit of range. I still have the Alltrack, but I love having Full Self Driving on long drives. Makes such a huge difference

Womp Womp. Thanks Trump

Satisfy my curiosity here. My trip from NY to Fla is 1420 miles it takes me 22 hours driving straight through. That includes fuel stops. How long would it take me in your EVs including charging time?

How long do you stop to eat? The most I've driven at one time solo is about 800 miles. Usually a short break with food that may get finished on the road plus another sit down meal that takes about an hour. Whether the longer meal is brunch, lunch, or dinner varies.

My understanding is that charging an EV at a high-speed charger doesn't take long. So it's always made sense to me that gas station chains want to partner with Tesla.

Napkin math. Avoided burning over 5500 gallons of gas. 6500 cheaper to use electricity. Tires and increase in insurance 4k. 0 maintenance cost. When I bought this I figured out of pocket cost to run the compared to my 55k sedan would be similar. Might be valid.
