If someone said you can have any EV you want I would have a Volkswagen van. Now that would be good for a road trip. But I will never have the spare cash instead. I will have my beat up T5 forever and try to be proud of her. We live in a big country too and the problem here is having enough charging stations. I think it's okay outside of peak times, but when it's really busy during holidays, there really isn't enough charge points for everyone moving through. Of course, because of what your fuckwheat (I'm using speech to text and that's the way it's spelt that expletive but I'm going to leave it cuz it's kind of cute) president has done, fuel prices have gone up crazily so everyone is looking at electric vehicles now, but the vast majority of the population can't afford them, including us.
However, enough about me. I'm really glad that your trip went well and the Tesla lived up to expectations. I'm actually a little bit jealous of a road trip we haven't been for ages. We will be doing it in our diesel guzzling Defender. Diesel prices have gone up hugely here because it runs all our agriculture and heavy transport system.
Those are really cool but the limited range is what made me shy away from the Volkswagen ID Buzz. I love the design though. It would be an excellent everyday vehicle. Fuel prices are insane here too and it's affecting the price of everything. I've seen a lot of Defenders on this trip and every time I see one I like them a little more. They look like they could handle just about anything you'd throw at them.
Thanks, the drive down me appreciate the Model Y in different ways and trust it more. I hope you get to road trip soon! It's good for the soul.
I don't know much about them but yes the range on EV's is an issue in our big countries. I'm glad it's fulfilling expectations.
300 miles per charge is about the minimum I'd want. That gives you the flexibility to do road trips. Thank you! I've seen two VW ID Buzz vans since you left this comment! One was orange/white the other yellow/white.
