Guys one thing we haven’t discussed at all is charging. I have started to use the model 3 for longer days of driving to see clients or show visitors around and it’s definitely required planning.

Here in norcal, the SC are pretty full a decent amount of the time, and I have the stock SAE J1772 adapter for L2 charging at home and elsewhere, and I purchased a $450 CHaDeMo adapter to give another DC charging option (33-50kw per hr).

Not to mention I have 4 different charging network membership cards in the car.

Once you move away from the “charge at home” use case, you really need to give charging a level of thought that just isn’t even a factor for gassers (unless you are doing something on standard like running a 100 octane tune in the street).

Just wanted to toss that in there, since I haven’t seen that discussed in most reviews. It’s just kind of glossed over before going back to talking about pulls from a dig or low roll.
