    I have a Model 3 since April; bought it from my son who bought a Model Y. The more I own it and drive it, the more I like it. I took in on a 1000 mile trip from NM to Boise and it was wondaful; no problems; no long delays. And that trip involves a lot of driving through mountains - high altitudes. It was so nice!

    Changing for 30 minutes to an hour? On a Vancouver to Halifax road trip of 3612 miles the average time spent at each supercharger was 18 minutes. The most efficient way to road trip is to only charge enough to get to the next easily accessible charger and to arrive with around 10% state of charge. The lower the state of charge, the quicker the charging times are.

    • @jiaweizhang4166
      @jiaweizhang4166 4 года назад +12

      I think all superchargers along the trans Canada highway are V3, so they can be twice as fast as older versions in the states. Some super charging stations in the US are quite dated so I won't be surprised to see them being less efficient than the latest iterations.

      Average life of battery for Tesla or any other EV assumes that people will keep their battery life over 50 percent, it might be hidden somewhere in the fine print. There is memory effect on battery which will degrade battery much sooner if you run in lower charge.

    • @Clearphish
      @Clearphish 4 года назад +3

      @@PG-er6ez Please find that quotation. Ni-Cad batteries have memory issues, L-ion batteries don't. Regardless of what you do to the battery it is guaranteed to maintain at lest 70% of its capacity for over 100,000 miles. What is more important is to not allow the battery to either remain below 20% or at 100% for an extended period of time. Supercharging puts more strain on the battery than using a level 2 charger but very few drivers are able to degrade the battery within the warranty period. (All of this is for what we have now. The next generation promises to be far more robust.)

Having knobs allows you to adjust radio or climate with out taking your eyes off the road and that's a safety issue. Other wise I like the tesla model 3

    Just saying you have to wait up to an hour to charge at a public station is kind of misleading. Driving a BEV is a completely different paradigm. New V3 Superchargers now support charging rates that get you up to 75 miles in 5 mins. But that is significant, and not, because 99% of the time you're (level 2) charging at home and waking up to a full "tank" everyday... that is the paradigm shift. So unless it's long distance, you typically only put in just enoungh to get you in your way at a public station.
