Ever since the latest software update, Tesla owners have bee complaining long and loud their touchscreens don't work properly.
, based on my recent experiences while charging near St. Augustine, Florida. I got an email from Lori Bruce, the public relations manager for Wawa, and she was very professional and polite, even though my review was anything but kind to her company. For the record, any PR person who wants to know how the jobBecause she was so good at her job, my wife and I visited the brand new Wawa store here in Fort Pierce.
I also learned recently that it takes a long time to charge from 80% to 100%. In real-world driving, it is often faster to plug in at 10% and charge to 70% than it is to plug in at 30% and charge to 100%. Tesla drivers soon learn it may actually be faster to make two shorter stops to recharge than one long one. This is something you don’t read much about. You learn from experience.
You also learn that 20 to 30 minutes is the normal time for a charging event. Is that longer than just filling a gas tank? Yes, it is. But the benefits of being relaxed and refreshed when you arrive at your destination outweigh the few extra minutes you spend getting there in an EV. Rushing through life is not always the best — or safest — way to savor the experience.
Charging versus fill-up times are a false equivalency. Driving an electric car is different in many ways than driving a conventional car. You always arrive at your destination knowing that you have not left a miasma of fine particulates, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and other poisons in your wake. The takeaway? Drive an electric car — preferably a Tesla. Be happy!
