I damn sure can't afford an $80k ev and then I gotta worry about my ancient wiring in my house to support 220v Tesla supercharger.
But I if went 120v in my old crib, it's almost 109 hours to charge one of Teslas models. Check Teslas site.
We're not all made of money.

Would you even need the range afforded by that new long range Tesla?
How about the new Rav4 that pairs a 4cyl engine with electric motors that puts out about 45 miles before the battery is gone. Charges to full over 12 hours on 110 and there is a gas engine that takes over completely when the charge is gone and does something like 44MPG. Overall range is 300+ miles.
Unless you live 20 minutes away from town like I do or drive a large amount of miles in a single day... the battery aspect of this Toyota would likely take care of all your errands and likely the majority of your drive into work, or if you don't work, your drive to do whatever you spend your days doing.
