Is that all you've got?

So obviously EV'S are still in dreamland and don't need subsidies but battery tech doesn't?

They jumped the gun and built vehicles without reliable batteries and it's stymieng EVs from gaining market share.

Does Tesla need the money to build cars or does Panasonic need money more to develope batteries that catch up to the cars Tesla makes?

This is from a Forum of Tesla Owners, but they
must all be Clowns too for buying Tesla's and
posting their experiences for other Tesla owners
in a conspiracy against you...


"it can take day s to get a full charge for a Tesla. "

stop writing stupid shit

you clearly have no idea what you are even talking about.


OK, from the official Tesla forum, earlier today
I read that a full charge on a Tesla Model S (it
didn't state parameters like temperature, etc...)
was 265 miles. Now look at the screenshot above.

Dude says he can get about 30 miles charge in 8hrs
using 110V outlet. Lets do some math:

265 miles(=full charge)/30miles=8.834 x 8hrs= 66.72hrs

66.72 hrs = 2 days, 18hrs, & about 45 minutes....for a
full charge on 110V for a Tesla Model S, and that parallels
our friends experience pretty closely...

This isn't a the Leaf at 20hrs with a much shorter range (so
I'm assuming smaller/less powerful batteries?), but can you
find fault with my basic math above seeing as this is above
my head and I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about?

the fault with your math is that its pointless.

the argument was whether there are 110v chargers or not - because some moron said there are only 240v and up chargers

120V 12A chargers for a Tesla are trickle chargers. Not meant for relying on for travel, just maintenance.

240V and 480V are 80A and meant for actual charging.

Still confused?

As relevant as the charging times for the Leaf
or some electric Cooper? Your goal posts on
wheels? You can't dispute anything I've stated
here, can you? I'm assuming that if you could,
you would have. I haven't had to resort to calling
you names as I can back up what I've stated.

By the way, the Model S Tesla I'm talking about
has the 85kWh Battery and how does that stack
up agoinst the Leaf with the 20hr charging time
that you attempted to deflect with? Thanks for
coming out.

im confused as why you claim there are no 110v chargers when there are many many 110v chargers.

I doubt he knows the difference. They don't teach that kind of stuff in jr. high.

This is from Post #126 using a range of 265 miles.

That doesn't include using AC, heat, stereo, head lights nor does it count the vampire draw while sitting.

Here is what started this ridiculous argument

Wakie wakie hands off snakie.
You are dreaming if you think it's ANY outlet.

Like phones and tools, plugs batteries chargers and accessories are proprietary and are 240V and up.

------------------------------------------

when it was pointed out that an EV could be plugged into any standard outlet you decided to make up some bullshit - because that's what morons do.

it was not about Tesla but about EVs in general.
