The two biggest things people ask me about my Tesla are: 1) Do you have problems charging it? 2) What do you do when you have to take long trips? I need you to understand this. I travel a lot by car. Long distances north/south/east/west through rural parts of every state, 500 mile trips often. Teslas are WAY BETTER than any other car for road trips. Way better than any gas car, way better than any other EV. It is far EASIER, not harder, to road trip in a Tesla. You don’t have to look for charging. This is all done by software. You don’t have to plan stops. This is all done by software. You don’t have to drive or navigate. This is all done by software. You get into a Tesla, type or speak any destination anywhere, press “start self driving” on the screen, and that’s it. You’re done. The rest is all handled by software. You just have to sit there and enjoy the view. Zero stress, zero deciding which rest stop to stop at when you think your tanks gonna be low, zero worry about wrong turns, zero attention required to nav. Just kick back and take it in. It makes a 8 hour road trip feel like 2 hours, and you feel completely refreshed upon arrival, like you were sitting on your couch relaxing. No neck tension, no brain fatigue from keeping a car from crashing for 8 hours. It’s way better than any other vehicle for travel, not the opposite. I’m on a 600 mile work trip right now, and if someone told me I had to give up my Tesla and start traveling by ICE car again, I’d prob look for a new job. Seriously. It is way way better for travel.

This is the greatest argument I’ve heard for why electric vehicles are better than gasoline-powered cars.
