Tesla's company-private charging network is proprietary, which offers lots of advantages mostly because on the networking side where the network has command and control over the charging sequencing of the users on the network and controls their pathways to optimize the charging infrastructure. How that scales to tens of millions of Tesla travelers on a saturated Tesla charging network is an interesting question; I'm sure Elon has a plan... But how such charging command and control would translate to a dis-homologated DC Fast-Charging network owned by numerous private companies all vying for the electron dollar is a highly entertaining question - for you IT networking guys . EV road tripping works well on Tesla's private network, even though it is still limited compared to ICE, it does work for most Tesla owners if they know how to properly use the technology and give up some privacy rights along the way. I don't see such advantages becoming viable on the DC-Fast Charging infrastructure, which is a roadblock to mass adoption of EV if there is no ICE backup*. Tesla can't be the World's only EV supplier. Why we let Leadership screw with any of this is beyond my rational understanding. *The whole idea of this forced move to BEV is to eventually rid the Earth of ICE.

All this shit gained traction pre covid and pre inflation where money was cheap utilities were cheap etc and there was money to borrow at a cheap rate to spunk on this stuff. The dynamics are changing. When people are dying due to lack of food and lack of ability to heat their home and cannot purchase/drive a car to get them to work so that food can be put on the table for some co2 target this vanity project will come crashing down like a pack of cards. |

Watching what seems to be utter incompetence, it begs to question if it is all intentional. Evilness is alive and kicking.

It is definitely intentional.

And everyone is subsidizing this EV push through paying for higher electricity rates regardless of if one owns an EV and regardless of income. If one wants to get down to the "brass tacks", this is a reverse tax penalty on the low income. Segment of the population that has to pay for electricity where any increase is a larger percentage of their income and are also the ones that can't afford to buy an EV.

You guys still going?
I mean, all of this is potentially valid, but the market will move the way it does. The new tesla model 3 prices and the regain of the tax break on it makes things look very very different. But we'll see, I guess. Shawn |

I'll have something electric in the next 6-12 months. I never add up cost of fuel, but, I feel like I fueled up a little more than I normally do, and I actually added up fuel cost for the month of April. $744.08. It just doesn't make sense for me to keep putting premium, which is shit 91 octane, in California, and paying $5.29 a gallon, just to commute to work, and take a few trips to Reno.
My solar panels would probably make up for most of what home charging costs me. I don't pay electricity bills. I generally have a bill credit, even in the summer, and I only have 12 panels on 2,700 sqft, 5 bed. I have a 250kw Supercharger 4 miles from my house. 3 years of free supercharging would pay for more than half of the car, in 4-5 years. Not to mention $7,500 federal and $2,000 California tax credit.
