Fast cars....

My dad used to say "That car would pass anything on the road except a gas station"... we sure fixed that.

We used to love those, then we grew up.

I wish my dad was still around for him to see/experience it.

I got a 800hp Chevy Malibu out front. Runs on 110 octane, $15 @ gallon. I have to bring gas to it. The Chevy pickup out front has 400hp crate motor.
Gues who is Dailey Driver is now? Gasless in driveway. Love the errands now.

Actually, my model S does this a lot on highway trips very similar to ICE cars -- just different stuff flowing down the feeding tube.

I can't pass by as many of these stations as ICE cars pass by gas stations.

Here's the big difference: I don't pay any extra for the juice I'm on-boarding, as it was figured into the purchase price of the car I paid up front.

Considering that gas prices are in the top two concerns for consumer inflation index... I'm laughing all the way the home.

Can't pass by as many of these stations as an ICE can pass by gas stations.

Oh, I'd say you passed more outlets than gas stations.

Oh, I'd say you passed more outlets than gas stations.

Outlets are analogous to these for ICE cars:

Not suitable counting these as "things passed by" on highway trips.


I suppose you could fill an ICE car tank with a dropper at about the same rate as 120V filling a Tesla for range gained per minute. Hmmm. I wonder if anybody has done that "race" on paper to see how it works out? (Challenge put out there to any physicist in the crowd.)
