WASHINGTON, D.C., (April 16, 2015) – On average, Americans drive 29.2 miles per day, making two trips with an average total duration of 46 minutes.
So then about half of them might make it to work and back without running out of electrons. The rest and all industry require fossil fuels.

Tesla model 3 comes in 350km and 500 km ranges

so they will all be able to go back and forth from work to home a number of times before recharging

Only under ideal conditions on a flat road with no passengers or any cargo.

The power and range fall through the floor once the temperature drops below zero, let alone passengers, climbing in elevation or the real luxuries like using the radio, AC or heater

That's nice if you are in the 90% tax bracket. Working people cannot afford Tesla. Working people mostly can't afford a Bolt. The rich that can afford Tesla don't need subsidies.

You only have peak performance with a fully charged battery. It's all downhill from there.


The guy I'm describing lives in Emerald Park where he
has the big charger installed. He commutes to Regina
where he has another of the big chargers installed at
work (he owns the building that our business and 1/2
a dozen others are located in). I don't think that car
has to go more than about 20 minutes between being
plugged into big juice.

He just got it this summer, & I'm curious how it handles
a Saskatchewan Prairie Winter.
