More from the Thanksgiving weekend Tesla Travelogue. (h/t fred)

just wait till there are a million of these golf carts in LA.. Or more.. Hours and Hours added to your travel time.. Panic when you are at the bottom of your charge and stilll 15 cars in front of you.. Can you say fistfights/gunfights.. can’t wait to see the vids..
Wealthy Socialist freeloaders!
Except you can charge them at home, so no.
So Tesla owners aren’t allowed to drive more than half a “tank” away from home? Sounds fair to me. It looks like a recharging station along the highway. A gasoline or diesel car/truck “recharges” in 5 to 10 minutes. How many hours is #16 in line going to have to wait because the energy density just isn’t there in a rapidly transferable form?
So you are 300km. from home …so yes.
Compare this to a ten minute fuel up of gas and your ready to go another 500 km. This would only happen to me one time before my Tesla was for sale.
By then it is too late. Who would ever buy a used one?
That’s some beautiful roadside architecture right there.
The Madonna Inn is famously kitschy. Take a look at their website … it the perfect place to stay for wannabe hippies driving Tesla with range anxiety.
Which is why the yahoos on i-5 in their Tesla’s … kept hitting their brake pedal over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over … Arrrggghhhh!!
Driver Pro Tip: constantly tapping your brakes (flashing RED brake lights) in the left lane on the freeway while traveling 80mph. Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap … tap-tap-tap… makes you a really shitty incompetent driver. If you cannot use your engine and your accelerator pedal to modulate your speed without all the unnecessary tap tap tap tap tap … on your brake pedal … then please take Jerry’s high speed train instead of driving i-5.
over and over and over and over and over…….roaring laughing…got a visual on that one
Well at least they have not combusted yet. There is always a bright side to being real stupid, only other people know your really stupid, you’ll never know yourself as evidenced by this lineup of glowbull warming, greta grovellers. I feel for the children though. Life’s hard, and it’s a whole lot harder when you’re stupid. A smart actor said that. There was such a thing at one time kiddies.
Wouldn’t the bright side be if they did go up in flames?
progs and marxists buy these things – let them wait
Waiting in line is a feature of Socialism, not a bug.
This is Real Social(ist) Justice.
So when we see such a massive collection of electric vehicles, that’s utopia?
It’s just a step in the process of getting you OUT of your personal automobile. Stripping you of freedom of movement. Stripping you of your liberty.
And after the world began shifting to EVs in earnest, the Western World became familair with a new way of life: “Load Shedding”, or as it was known in California in 2019, … “Rolling Blackouts” …
Used to be an old idiom, “Better to keep your mouth shut and let everyone think you’re stupid, than open it and prove you’re an idiot.” Now when you buy an EV you display you’re an idiot to the world without even opening your mouth.
It appears that 3 charging stations on the right side at the beginning of the video aren’t in use. Also that porta-potty must be absolutely disgusting.
How much would it cost to build a super charger truck, how many cars could you charge at once, how much would you have to charge to be profitable….
Let’s see, Optimus Prime started out as a Freightliner, and a Pete… But you can never go wrong with the KW W490… Never liked the Mac shift pattern.
Reminds me of the long lines for gas during the 1970’s in mexafornia when carter was pres. All they needed was to have some heavy rain to add to all that misery of waiting and one of the cars on fire to warm the people up.
Early adopters.
They pay through the nose for their privilege and then put up with the lack of infrastructure so they can parade that they are saving the planet.
Hilarious.
FINALLY! Bob Daye has finally said something so stupid, that not even he himself can deny it!
Early adopters… HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA…
These early adopters in their vehicles that have been widely available since 1832, these early adopters in their electric vehicles that have been available longer than the internal combustion engine…
Early adopters in their 200 year old mature technology conveyances…
HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HAHAAAA
I’m not sure I could resist rolling past in a long smokey burn out with my classic Mustang.
Sure, I only get 25mpg on the highway but I can fill up in 5 minutes at almost every street corner.
One burn out after another until I nearly run out of gas then go fill up and start the process again.
or….
Roll up in my idling muscle car and chat with then through the open window over the bubble and snarl of my well cammed small block. Tap the gas gauge and point out how even though it’s down to the last 1/8th of a tank, I’m good and will continue to be good for a while yet as It will only take 5 minutes to fill up.
Because I can.
changing the lyrics to match current modes of measurement gives us ‘804.627 kms away from home, away from home’
(makes it sound even further, ha ha ha ha !!!!!)
Kevin,
The electric vehicle is a very niche new market and you know it.
The tech available now has not been around for 200 years, the concept, but not the execution.
People that buy a Tesla, a Leaf or a Bolt etc are early adopters. People buy them for various reasons but I despise those who think they are saving the planet.
The problem with these vehicles is the owners try to run them as gas powered but from this story they cannot be, no range for open highways.
There are not enough charge centres because ownership is not dense enough.
Early adopters.
And oh by the way, WTF is your problem?
A lot of people (myself included) have gotten so deep into the technical issues, we have missed this part of the infrastructure.
We have long been asking the question “where will all of the energy come from without upgrading the power grid and
building new generating capacity?” It never dawned on me that the lack of charging stations would be a problem.
Not just that. All the stupid cult fanbois gonna be mighty butt hurt when the taxman actually starts to come for them.
“Hey, we have 100% electric cars, and no one is paying gas tax anymore, the state has been in blackout for 12 years, because we closed all reliable generation. What we gonna do?”

Try Room 137 … the caveman

The smart money buys a trailer with a good sized generator for the long trips. I wonder if it lets you charge while moving?
Or someone pulls up to the Tesla line and sells recharges for a premium
Noooooo ooo … but it recharges while you brake!!
