The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

By chance, do you know if they A) never exceed the max miles limitation? (Before needing a recharge.)

You mean do they take trips longer than their car's maximum range? They do. It's really not a problem in a Tesla.

Or, B) they do plan longer trips, but intentionally make pre-planned stops where they want to stop, eat, browse, and walk around while their vehicle is "plugged in", recharging?

They use the planning tool built into the Tesla navigation. It routes them to a Supercharger. 20-30 minutes later they are charged and ready to roll.

Don't know about you, but I take regular longish trips (320 miles) in my gas car, and I stop at least one time, often twice. My car can go further on a tank, but I need to use the facilities, stretch my legs, get some coffee. That same trip would be no slower for me in a Tesla with a 250-mile range. Probably would be a nicer drive.

I would not do this trip in our Chevy EV, though. Not it's forte at all.
