Our Model 3 starts the day with a full tank every day.
I never knew how great that was until I experienced it.
It allows for real lazy, I tell ya.
Until you come home tired one evening and forget to plug it in...
That hasn't happened, yet anyways. But that also assumes I used most of my 260 miles.
And that where I wanted to go did not have a charger. In Silicon Valley, they are everywhere; at least 40 in a 2 mile radius from my house.
At work I can charge at a subsidized rate; quite a perk.
The real problem is tripping... We don't take the Tesla, even though we could.
The furtherest we regularly go is about 200 miles round trip and there are lotsa chargers if needed.
The ICE cars are just so easy... We take the GS, TSX, RX or even my gas hog Tundra.
In fact, I don't know anyone with an EV who does not have an ICE car.
