So, awesome, I can go for a Sunday drive in a fun car and feel good about it. Except that I only have a few hours for this drive (if I'm driving cautiously), and once I'm done, I'm done for the day.
According to the Tesla website... "With the 45 minute QuickCharge or a 5 minute battery swap, you can drive from LA to San Francisco, Washington to New York or take even longer road trips in about the same time as in a conventional car." So really, you can take a 3 hr drive, plug in the car for 45 min then take another 3 hr drive. Selling a car that can only be used for 3 hrs each day is not logical, thats why they implemented the 45 min quick charge or the 5 min battery swap.
