Agree. It's a great product
Ever stomp on rubber gas station tubes as a kid?

Always felt like a winner when I could hit it hard enough to get that thing to go Ding!
Never was able to trigger it on my bike though.

tell the truth about how much it costs to purchase a tesla charger, pray you have an open 40 or 50a circuit and an electrician who wont charge you $2,000 to hook everything up.
and yes, if you want to putter around town and not actually take advantage of the 'so called' mileage than yes, maybe you can avoid 'just as much as gas' super chargers.
in the real world however, those are called 'gas stations' and people have to rely on them. :Lol:

thats fine and all but dont act like the inconvenience of finding charging stations, anxiety about battery health, having to pre-plan trips around your personal at-home charging habits; costs to install a tesla charger at your house (which is absolutely a deal-breaker if you dont), costs of super charging compared to gas then getting SLAPPED IN THE frickING FACE by the state after you did all this to 'do your part to save mother earth' to the tune of another $300-$400 on top of all that is no reason at all to be mad.
i'm spouting facts. anyone considering an EV better go in with eyes wide open that you didn't just buy a magic car that costs pennies to operate over an ICE vehicle.
all things even out in the end; even EV vs ICE costs.

It was cheaper than gas. You'd have to have an significantly better than average efficient ICE vehicle for 25 dollars in gas to allow you a couple hundred miles of range.

A Tesla Supercharger typically costs $15 to $25 for a full charge (roughly $0.25 to $0.50 per kWh), translating to $0.10 to $0.13 per mile.
This is usually comparable to or slightly cheaper than a 30-mpg gas car costing $3.50 to $4.00 per gallon, though heavy reliance on supercharging reduces potential fuel savings

quote:its absolutely the principle.
Perhaps it is simply a rhetorical issue of stating it as a “HUGE” problem. Maybe you mean it is a huge principle problem because you don’t like paying taxes at all if you don’t have to so you drive the cheapest car possible because it means you pay even less in personal property taxes because you don’t actually care about the vehicle, you care about your principles. I’m just going to pretend that’s what you meant and move on and wish you the best of luck.
you can renew a car in many counties in tn for $29. the 'ev tax' is going up AGAIN in january by another $74 meaning that $292 "out the door" price is going to be $366 in a few short months.
you can bet your sweet arse that will go up again in a couple of years.
so yes, i consider this a HUGE problem and if you are willing to be taxed like that, more power to you.

A bunch of mumbo jumbo for people that are interested and want to be able to do the research themselves. Not sure why this would upset you since you seem to be someone that likes to do research about things you are doing, from best I can tell.
Have a good day.

bunch of mumbo jumbo generated by copilot to try & explain the $25 i paid at the super charger station to go a couple hundred miles somehow made my fuel fill up 'cheaper' than gas. :lol:

Correct. $287 annually is not enough for me to sweat over. And it shouldn’t be a “HUGE” problem for you either.
and paying $20/mo for a subscription i dont use isn't enough to sweat over either, so why bother cancelling it?
you like paying for something you aren't using? just wait tables at night huh?

Not to be a dick, but if $287 a year is a “HUGE” penalty to you, you should be worrying about other stuff, like getting a better job, instead of fighting over a couple hundred dollars on an Internet forum.
that's assuming i filled up enough over the course of a year that i was paying that much in state tax on each gallon of gas.
quote:
To pay $287 in Tennessee state gas taxes, you must buy about 1,047 gallons of gasoline. This calculation uses Tennessee's total state tax and fee rate of 27.4 cents per gallon. If you also count the federal gas tax of 18.4 cents per gallon, reaching $287 in combined taxes requires about 626 gallons

The total annual electric vehicle (EV) registration fee in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee is $287 or $291. This total combines standard local and state registration charges with the mandatory state EV infrastructure fee.
i dont drive my ICE vehicle that much so those taxes are a HUGE penalty to me.
you are competely wrong on both counts. be better.
Agree with all this. I loved a lot of things about the Tesla. I didn't just dump it because I didn't know how to use it. FSD is legit.
Charging isn't really the issue because it doesn't really take long to get a decent charge. Park and go pee and you're up to 60% already.
The problem is you have to stay close to interstates because you can definitely get out in the sticks and not have a charger for miles, the super chargers cost almost as much as gas and they drill it into your head that frequent super charging is really hard on your batteries.
Combine that with the constant "oh frick I left my home charger at 100% instead of 80 and need to change that or oh frick I forgot to charge it to 100% and I'm taking a trip today and don't have time now so I'll have to pay super charger prices..."
That's a lot of shite I don't want to have to think about.
I get in my ICE vehicle and that's about it for extra thinking. If I'm low on gas so what I'll hit a gas station.
