Yeah that's a good data point. I've seen others report less driving time for comparable distances and some who point to longer driving times (factoring in charging). This story notes a drive from NY to FL included 207 minutes of charging time, which included 40 minutes of overnight charging at the hotel. That isn't that bad IMO: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-mode...charger-drive/ Note, this 207 charging time included

Wait...I thought people dislike EVs here on CD. But there's anger at the EV agenda being negatively impacted?

This seems to be the real agenda. It seems the plan is that the wealthy will have EV's but most people will have to rent a self-driving bus or pod to get someplace. The good news is the self-driving buses will have almost no accidents.

The bad news is no one will be driving on their own accord anymore, not even in their own EV. There will be no steering wheel and no 'gas' pedal. The road AI network will assist/instruct all vehicles on the roads.

Oh really?

We rate Newsmax Right Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience as well as numerous failed fact checks.

But narrow minded Lefties see "Newsmax" and get triggered, so don't even bother to click on the article.


Close minded as usual, whilst believing lie after lie from the MSM.
You are right to assume I wouldn't click on a Newsweek link.
I did find a more direct source for the information and it was an eye opener.

Narrow minded in what sense. I don't rely on media to cherry pick facts.

But let's get back on topic here. Which you clearly avoided addressing.....that says it all.

Turns out the reason auto manufacturers are objecting is because they want to use imports.

Probably would have stopped at least a couple of times anyway.

So they cherry picked info provided by Reuters to support their agenda.

That seems to be honest news to some people.

Automanufactuers mad that they can't import parts and have cars made outside USA.

Should add this might be the same legislation where they mandate banks report transactions over 600 as well. So if one is reimbursed with a check and you deposit it the IRS will probably consider it taxable income until they are told otherwise. Should not have to go through that.
As well when you sell something that you bought with money that has already been taxed yjr IRD eill exoect more tax money on any sale where they have deemed you made a profit on.

Case in point- if I buy a guitar for $2200. and ten years later it is worth $3000. they will tax me on the $800 in increased value.

Something doesn't sound right there. Why would those three charges add 6 hours to the drive ? The EV cheerleaders here have told me that on a 1000 mile road trip with an EV it would only add an hour and a half to the 15 hour drive.

If true though, the addition of 6 hours is unacceptable for most people.
