Unfortunately, this trip is for genealogy research and is deep in the back hills of Appalachia. The roads are curvy, steep and not conducive to lateral movement for destinations that may only be a few miles physically apart. I have many stops to make and carefully planned it out using Plugshare and A Better Route Planner. If things go bad on range, I'll be stuck with a big towing bill. I might just rent a gas car and call it a day.

A small handful of J-1772, Level 2 chargers. Good for plugging in at home, but not really your go-to choice for running around in the boonies, big state parks and rural areas, unless you have a lot of time to kill in that exact spot. Besides, you pray they actually work when you get there. And I say that as a Tesla owner.

I have a rural trip planned this June and my choices for one of the stops are an iffy Level-2 out in the middle of nowhere or driving well out of my way and paying 69 cents per kWh at a Circle-K; The only DC fast charger within reach.

You were responding to this verbatim in OP:

I did the math for far from home *AND* even qualified it with this:

Now, how am I wrong or "disingenuous"?

Spoiler alert: I'm not.

The average Tesla gets around 4 miles per KWh according to Google. Costs at Fast Chargers including Superchargers are high and getting worse. I saw one GM CCS1 fast charger that was 69 cents per KWh while planning a road trip. That gets you 5.8 miles per dollar. Even at a "reasonably priced" fast charger you can expect around 43 cents per KWh. That gets you 9.3 miles per dollar. A "cheap" fast charger (if you can find one) might be 30 cents per KWh bringing you 13 miles for each dollar.

A relatively low mileage ICE car getting 30mpg on a road trip while paying $3.50 per gallon of gas would get 8.6 miles per dollar.

To save just $1,000 between 30 cent fast chargers and an old 30mpg ICE car burning $3.50 gas would require you to drive 24,000 miles. You aren't saving thousands of dollars on long road trips unless all you do is drive. Or you're visiting out-of-the-way Level 2 "free" chargers and hanging around for hours. New hybrids get way better than 30mpg. You might save a lot of money charging at home, but not on the road stopping at fast chargers.

As long as porn doesn't lead the industry to smellavision, I'm okay.

It *WAS* Donato's. LOL. They've been on my shit list since that day. I guess it must be a system wide problem.

Yep. Was forced to "pre-tip" when ordering a pizza last winter because the restaurant wouldn't allow pay-at-the-door. They subcontracted my delivery out to door dash without my knowledge or consent. The bastards dropped it on my front porch in 20 degree weather without ringing the doorbell. No email from the restaurant. No text. I don't have a door dash account, so no notification of any kind. It sat out there for 15 minutes before I noticed because it was overdue. It was ice cold. That was the last time that restaurant got a penny from me.

I don't use any delivery services like uber eats or door dash and I don't *EVER* order delivery for any pizza anywhere now. I either pick it up myself or do without.

Tipping expectations are beyond crazy these days. I refuse to tip when I stand at a counter to order my food and clear my own table after eating. If tipping for that is your expectation, you need to adjust it or I will spend my money elsewhere. If you want a tip, you better be bringing the food to me and keeping my drink filled.

Either the builder or the writer does not know what a single board computer is or how dual PCBs does not qualify. Hint: The B in PCB stands for board.

There are areas I drive through that if you stood on the side of the street and waved your hands, I would stomp on the gas and get out as fast as possible. You could be breakdancing on the sidewalk and I wouldn't stop.

My neighborhood? Sure. Your neighborhood? It depends.

It sounds very much like one of those I-heard-it-from-a friend who heard it from another friend stories at best. *IF* it did happen, I doubt it was the justification narrative being pushed here.

OhMyGod. Apple wasn't willing to take the word of one party to strip the rights of a different party. Tar and feather them.

This is the domain of a court order, not the word of a disgruntled, divorced parent. Your eager sympathy for one unique case endangers the rights of everyone else who might be in an opposite circumstance. Let a judge decide, not some warm body in a chair answering tech support phones *AND* certainly not armchair quarterbacks either

Too crazy; didn't read

And by the way, Einstein, Water has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen. Hence H2O, not HO2.

Wow. You doubled down without doing even a modicum of research. Even Google's AI could have saved you some embarrassment. Keep spitting those facts, genius. I'll stick with those "alternative facts" that actual chemists use.

Waitaminit. For decades, liberals have been saying that voting was the mostest importantest right evuh. It's far too important to even ask racist questions, like "Are you a US citizen?" before voting. Now you're telling me that it's not important enough to to validate your identity when your signature doesn't match? Maybe we could do, like, in person voting all on the same day and show an ID at the same time so these kinds of problems wouldn't crop up. Naaaah. it'd never work. Otherwise, other countries would have done it.
