        Had to go out today and pick up my son from the train station. Roads were horrible! Slushy, icy, snowy. On the way back nothing...

        My wife was heading up north today (as she does most days) and she had to turn around as most of the higher elevation roads hadn't been touched yet.

          hahah...... just not putting any thought into that statement sounds like she's going up into the mountains to make moonshine. LOL.

                  I was looking at that when they announced. The next model in the series will be on my short-list. I really want the charging stations to be more available before I jump on it.

                    Aww man I didn't even look at one of those when I just got a new car. And I spent close to that! Oh well my new baby looks pretty sweet. 🙂

                      The 215 mile range is rough. We regularly drive twice that (once or twice a month).

                        There are no charging stations in my city, I'd have to drive at least an hour out to charge. (and then back to go home)

                          You can install a charging station at your house. I think they can also charge over 110v albeit a bit slowly.

                            Oh yeah that makes a non-option for me. I regularly drive 500+ miles in a day

                              @coliver Yeah I know about the in house charger (I assume an in-house charger is included minus any cost for an electrician)

                                https://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger This is the supercharger that the Model 3 is compatible with.

                                  I doubt it is for some reason. Not at that price... but I don't think they mentioned one way or the other.

                                    I like how Tesla is pushing the tech forward, but just don't understand the pure electric car. I could just imagine myself getting one and getting stuck in between work and home in the middle of winter. Batteries + running heater + normal terrible efficiency at cold temps = me wondering what the real range would be. Now give me something like a Tesla with a small on board generator and now we've got something very intriguing. Cargo ships and trains have adopted the electric drive with on board generation model for decades now because of the combination of range and efficiency it offers, why is nobody miniatureizing the same sort of system for road vehicles?

                                      Because you have to store fuel.

                                          I'll give you the Volt, but not the Prius. The Prius was never designed to run only on battery.

                                            It's a bit of an aside but one of my favourite youtube shows did it... briefly...
