You must drive a lot. 120V has been good enough for us for the last two years. DW commutes about 40 mi/day in a Leaf.

Charging on 120 volt receptical is not a huge drawback. There are people functioning on that. Its approx 4 miles per hour. As soon as you get home plug in and 14 hrs later you have 56 miles added.
We made a trip once out of the range of the superchargers. At the Hotel we just plugged into a 120 outlet for 16hrs and added enough range to what we currently had to get us nearly home. For sure to within 2 supercharge stations. not a big issue Randen |

120v charging sucks. When I was stuck 120v charging if I drove the leaf more than 50 miles per day I was fighting a losing battle to keep it charged as I have no charging at work or public chargers. A truck or SUV that uses around twice as much power to go the same distance is going to suck twice as much. I await the angry bickering on face book and the forums. |

Looking back 2 yrs. to the announcements of car makers spending billions. I guess Tesla made a real deal building a plant in 168 days and only $5 billion from which they are delivering cars already.
I'll need to do some research to see what can actually be purchased here in North America I have seen a lot of Model 3s on the road and tractor trailers full heading to their distribution point in Toronto Nissan Leaf is also one I've seen around. and a Hyundai Kona a friend has purchased although quite rare.

Mr. Musk is talking about roadrunner batteries, 4 main model assembly lines, plus the next cybertruck assembly location. That's a lotta land to build on. You know what would be super cool? Tesla's truck stop of the future, Texas style. Bigger, better, badder. Last edited by jeff5may; 07-30-20 at 01:35 PM.. |
