So you are assuming within an hour you can charge it enough to continue 250 miles?
Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

No, you can continue for 200 miles with a 15 minute charge.
30 minutes is full (something like 10% to 90% charge).
If I charged for an hour, it would be sitting on full for 30 minutes already, lol.

This is universal data. It's true at thousands of superchargers for millions of vehicles. You just don't know how to google.
Charging, eating, and pooping, takes 30 minutes or so.
40 if you're constipated.
I'm not "assuming" anything. This is plain fact that millions of people have done. You just don't know about it.

Since time after time you have proves you don't or haven't ever owned a Tesla. More information for a person that has little knowledge about the subject.
Impact of Supercharging on Battery Life?
I got my MY on Dec. 30th and qualified for the free 1-yr supercharging. Since I can't charge at home, I've been using superchargers exclusively and will likely be doing so for at least the next 8 months. I read that supercharging will shorten the battery life. How much damage will it cause...

Most people supercharge only a few times a year, and that's on road trips.Since time after time you have proves you don't or haven't ever owned a Tesla. More information for a person that has little knowledge about the subject.

That's because most people have electricity at their houses.
I forget where the charging app is on my phone or how to hook it up. Then I remember at each road trip. It's that irrelevant.
Using superchargers regularly is stupid and unnecessary.

This guy didn't even know what a supercharger was 5 minutes ago, and now he's trying to tell me more about them.

And you avoid again. Because you lie.

Lol, no idea, although you could say the same about some idiot stressing out about where to find a charging station

I guess that’s fine if you want to live on sheetz hot dogs the entire trip.

America needs 30 MILLION electric vehicle charging ports by 2030
Americans would have to install 30 million electronic vehicle charging ports by 2030 if half of drivers switch to EVs by the time California's ban on gas cars takes effect.
- The US needs to build 30 million EV charging ports or 478 per day until 2030 - at a cost of $35 billion over eight years - if half of drivers switch
- America has about 128,000 public EV charging outlets and at least 4,500 private ones currently - in comparison with 150,000 gas stations
- Although EV sales have climbed a lot each year since 2016, many consumers cite batteries and charging issues as their main concerns

On the contrary, charging stations are usually adjacent to grocery stores and proper restaurants. It's the gas folks living on gas station food.

Teslas made in China ---no thanks

Everyday brings a new objection as old ones fall. That's fine. Tesla is a Chinese company, in that it has a gigafactory in shanghai. It's original is still in Fremont california. And it's opening ones in Berlin and Austin this year. It's Chinese. It's German. It's American. this is life for a trillion dollar company.
Almost all the Chinese Teslas are sold in china. This is part of their global manufacturing strategy, to manufacture in the country or economic region in which it sold.

I bet in 10 years they will all be made in China or some 3rd world country. That's how big business operates. Why put one together here for 50k when you can have it assembled in Vietnam or Tiawan for 2K.

No, they're building the most advanced manufacturing facilities that exist in the world. The German facility exists to escape tariffs in the European union. They're building it in Germany to sell in Europe so they don't have to pay taxes. That's why their American factories build for America. It saves them money on shipping and on taxes and on raw efficiency to manufacture very close to the sale.
It is actually economic law that will keep them manufacturing in these facilities. They take years to build and they are the highest volume facilities in the world. Shanghai is one facility that will build 2 million cars. Austin is one facility that's bigger than c a c h. This is not a mobile operation.
Tesla invented the biggest casting machines in the history of the world. They can do more with high-tech American facilities in Austin for cheaper than they can in vietnam. That's because they're just that good at engineering.
And being that special is why they are valued at more than all the other automakers put together. Big money understands that they are completely unique.

All the other car manufacturers are just so-called manufacturers. They might design and then farm out every single piece and then have it assembled at a third location. Tesla is incredibly vertically integrated and actually designs and builds most of its own parts so it can be centralized in these locations.

Lol, yeah. Not in my part of the country. Sheetz is the top option. 2/$1 sheetz dog flyer should come with the purchase of every new Tesla.

There is not a lot of overlap between Tesla owners and gas station food eaters.
So you added about an hour over an ICE vehicle. How much time was spent going to and from the charging station? Right off the highway or did you have to spend some extra time for that?
