tesla wants people to think their cars are fast
they are not fast, they are quick, specifically quick off the line
for a vehicle to go twice as fast requires 8 times the HP to the wheel
that means to go the same distance you use 4 times the energy (fuel) because you are burning it 8 times faster, but you get there in half the time
for a car like a tesla, if its rated to get 200 miles on a quick charge, that is at 60 mph. You drive the car 120mph and your range is only 50 miles
so now you have to stop every 50 miles if you are driving 'fast' and recharge for half an hour, if the battery will take it, because you cant quick charge a battery if its already hot, its more like an hour for the battery to cool down and charge.
if you do the math the faster you drive the more time you spend charging, so on a road trip your average speed drops well below 45mph, because you are running 120mph for 25 minutes, then charging for an hour, and your average speed is 50 miles in 1.4 hours = 35mph
that is not a "fast" car - unless you are only taking short trips. $70,000+ is a lot to pay for a commuter car.
and $29,000 is a LOT to pay for a commuter motorcycle
BTW, I take a 700 mile (each way) road trip several times a year to visit family in another state
there are no superchargers along the path I take, so I would have to go out of my way, driving thru Washington DC for example instead of skirting around it, to hit a supercharger
there have been a few times when I have been driving 75 in a 65 zone and passed tesla cars on the interstate. They have their destination programmed into the GPS, and its tracking how much power they are using at their current speed, and if they speed up to 75 or 80 it flashes red and warns the driver that will not make it to the next supercharger, at that speed, 100 something miles away...
