Some days I don't drive at all. Most days I drive about 120 miles. At least 2 times a month, I travel 450-500 miles in a day trip. I suspect most days, the overnight charge would be fine. Especially following the 15%-85% rule of thumb.
I may buy an affordable entry-level car and try it out for a bit.
Swear to God... saw that dude at 7-Eleven the other day. I was laughing so hard because he looked like he was straight from Miami Beach, 1985. LoL
exactly, like Elon told Joe Rogan during the podcast, you won't even know your driving an electric car after owning one. That's how I feel as well. It's a great DD in my opinion and my p100d will devastate 99.9 percent of cars light to light.
After driving a gt500 with no cats and SLPs I can assure you I’ll “ know “ it’s completely quiet..
How long did you have that Model Y, a week?
So what happens when you’re not allowed to charge your car ?

Same thing that happens when you can't get gas...you just don't go anywhere
Some gas stations seeing outages ahead of busy July 4 travel weekend

oh. A gas shortage.. during a holiday weekend .. in the middle of the summer.
this is different than other years … how ?
Gas shortages happen all the time. As a native Floridian, I have probably lived through more gas shortages than most. Hurricane hit = no gas for a week or so, every time. You just adapt and make due. But you don't see a bunch of people ripping on ICE and asking how people will ever get by when those shortages happen.
I think everyone who digs the performance of these cars understands that they are not as clean as people are lead to believe, and that they still impact the power grid in a big way. Infrastructure to support EV is not where it needs to be, which is the biggest factor to ICE being around for the foreseeable future in my eyes. Doesn't make me feel any differently about the performance they offer.

you’re comparing a natural disaster
due to a state saying “ we can’t handle this. Don’t do it.. but do it because it saves the environment .. but don’t do it because we can’t handle the saving of the environment “
So it’s more about performance, and status for owning a EV. Rather than being “green” and saving money. Hmm. Still doesn’t make any sense to me.
They are also asking people to use less A/C, and turn up their fridge tstats, etc. Anything to save electricity. Its got nothing to do with EVs in particular. And, its due to a weather issue/Heat Wave, which is pretty close to a natural disaster
The article you linked is a click bait headline that should have had a period instead of a comma after grid.

Texas wanted us to turn off our ACs recently

Again, this goes to the political point, not the tech. The Government is forcing us to go to all electric by some ridiculous date. Yet, even with only a small handful of EV's on the road (compared to ICE's), the grid already can't support what is needed. What happens in CA when 15 million more electric cars/trucks are added to the grid? The grid can't grow as fast as consumption is occurring now. I doubt it will get better.
