The most expensive new Tesla Model S is supposed to have over 500 mile range. The cheaper but still expensive versions are over 400.

How Long Does It Take To Charge A Tesla?

Exploring how long it takes to charge all Tesla models using different charging methods, including home charging and public charging stations.

15 minutes of charging at one of Tesla’s stations gets you another 163 miles. 40 minutes gets you an 80% charge. Things are improving quickly, and in a few years only the most remote places will be difficult for electric vehicles, assuming we actually generate enough electricity.

I had the idea (feel free to run with it) of renting trailers for Teslas. The trailer would store some stuff, but more importantly would have enough energy to go super long distances. They'd be crammed full of batteries or fuel cells or whatever. Show up at your dropoff point near the final destination with a full charge on your vehicle. Electric drop tanks.

Tesla already has something like this. Tesla full battery change

I learned something from your link, but not what you intended? Video title...

Preparation for days ahead. Martial Law Eminent!

Lol, I have no idea where that came from.

Here is the video I was trying to link to.Tesla battery video

There is a Shark Tank of dudes who created a portable Tesla spare battery, just like having a spare gas can for your jeep.

The Tesla range has a lot to do with the weight of the car and if the car was made to actually sustain an accident like most gas powered vehicles the range would be a lot less.

Ok this is a time where you might need to elaborate instead of just posting the link because I have no idea what you’re trying to communicate

Yea. I'm pretty dense and I've been mixing cold medicine and booze.

Spell that shit out for me.

5 star crash score? That’s gonna be one helluva star crash, when it hits.

Not so much in the winter. My son had one (company car) and cold weather really caused limited miles and slow recharges. Still, it is among the most enjoyable cars I have ever driven.

I do agree the capability should improve over time.

There is how they do in test and how they do in real life and knowing a few accident investigators those things split open like a tin can, roll overs where roof has collapsed, side impact causing serious injuries to passengers, and so on, it was enough that one of the investigators parents sold their Tesla.

You mentioned weight in your previous post. They weigh about the same as comparable german sports sedans. 3series=4000ish pounds, Model 3=4000ish pounds. Same with the S if you were to compare to a 5/7 series. The batteries give the thing an insane low center of gravity, even for the SUVs, thereby improving their handling and rollover characteristics.

They seem to pass the safety ratings test with flying colors and there's really not much other hard data to go by besides that.
