You are right, they are putting more in every day. But, I just don't think EVs are ready for tow duty yet. For instance, a local lake that I camp at a lot is 75 miles each way with a gain in elevation, no services, electric or even cell service, much less a charger. That quick little trip would be out of range for me.

Plus, I often do longer tows where I have to stop a few times each way for gas, which is a PITA in itself, couldn't even imagine adding an hour to each of those stops to charge vs the 5 minutes it takes to pump 20 gallons.

Don't get me wrong, EVs are impressive and probably the near future, just not ready for actual truck duty yet.

 

Oh I get it. You can plug it in a standard outlet, but it’ll charge at a snails pace. I wonder how their semi will perform ….

 

You mean in 12 years when they finally release them?

 

At this rate, that’s right on track

 

Na, Parker. Rose Canyon is less that 25 from my house, never towed my trailer up there though.

 

Yep, from my house near Speedway/Houghton. I take the trailer every time. Forest Service, so no services other than vault toilets and a water spigot or 2, but being a National Park, my America the Beautiful Access pass gets me a camping spot for $10.

 

Then calculate your maintenance and fuel costs…it can add up - especially if your vehicle isn’t stock
Add in any tuning where Tesla can get it over the air in minutes for a fraction of the costs

 

I was the same way..then I drove in one and fell in love, instantly. Come out and drive one. Tesla does not have dealerships par say. Zero pressure to purchase as they are not commissioned employees. I do however, want one of their jackets they get to wear

 

No exhaust?

 

Many drop them, different abeles and tires too. You can add performance to them (suspension, software updates) track mode to adjust power ratios - and all the fun tech they have. Best stock stereo system I’ve ever heard.
I’m not into lowering them, but some look sexy asf when done correctly.

 

Right now I think you're just going through a rough time and acting out. You'll look back on this and be embarrassed, but it's okay, it happens to everyone.

 

They discontinued referrals a few years back. Basically, both parties could get free SC’g miles. Some night the model S when SC’g was free for life. In other words, $0 to full charge. (Free fuel in ICE terms).
It’s rare would you need to see a service center for repairs, and if so- most likely warrantied (warranty varies based on model but some, such as mine even warranty the power train for 8 years). They have Tesla mobile where they come to you for anything they can do mobile. For example, there was a tsb on the charging pins (?) they came to my house and swapped it out for me

 

Dealership brand new?

 

In person, I'm not so sure I have. But it is no exaggeration when I say that I have spent hours upon hours listening to any and all vehicle exhaust videos including challengers and I just want to say I will pitch in $100 towards a Kooks full headers back system for you.

 

These look great. You would never want it in our weather and roads though

Besides that, no other manufacturer can touch their tech imo
