Solving for the road trip problem solves the EV problem. Most charging happens at home, but it’s the 10-20% of the time use cases that need to be solved for people to accept them as a daily driver.

Anyway, I asked if they could let me know when I could drive one. Sounds like a couple months before the dealers near me will have any.

They also touted that a DC charge would take 90 mins. I told them that I DC charged over 150 times for my Model S, with an average charging stop of 45 min and they need to do better...
