All EV's can charge overnight at home. They all come with a home charger.

How much you think would cost for a full charge on the tesla 3 or even model s, if you charge at home overnight.

How much is it costing you?

276,000 Tesla Model 3 pre-sold so far.

I bet it will surpass 300,000 pretty damn quickly.

I think the biggest success of Tesla here is not simply the technology itself, but design was the key.

Look at other EV/PHV vehicles.. Toyota Prius PHV, Chevy Volt, Mitsubishi iMiev, Nissan Leaf... none of these vehicle NEVER got raving reviews about their design. People kept saying they're weird look, look like cab, and all sorts of stuff.
Whereas Tesla vehicles look aesthetically pleasing and has high end American quality/image like Apple iPhone, Boeing 777, etc...

and for the price...who would choose other EV/PHV over Tesla?

When I plugged in via 110, it was under two bucks. It all depends on your electricity bill..... I use a lot of electricity, so rates reflect that. Not sure if the 240 volt makes any difference.

When I first got the EV, I was being a typical frugal Asian........plugged in at Brentwood, TD bank, Ikea, Canadian Tire, Lougheed Mall, etc. and it cost me nothing, LOL. BTW, I drive like a moffo in the EV, so I use a lot of energy. Like an ICE, you use up more energy going fast. If I drive normally, it would be so much cheaper. If I drove around town normally and not floor it, I would not have to charge for three days.

When I go to Richmond and back to North Burnaby, the range meter goes down just under 20%. In the winter, it was 25%.

I'm trying to better understand the model 3 hype...it's just insane how it's disrupting the entire industry and it's not like there's marketing in the traditional sense. It just blew up through word of mouth/social media...and not just car people..across so many demographics.

If Tesla didn't exist, and BMW/Toyota/GM came up with a somewhat normal-looking EV at 35K, why wouldn't they likely garner the same attention?

Tesla Model S can do 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds PogChamp

Tesla?s Model S Gets ?Ludicrous? Mode, Will Do 0-60 In 2.8 Seconds | TechCrunch

It will blow all the European/Japanese luxury sedan in the dust. :yuno:
Including Audi RS4, Lexus GS-F, BMW M5, Mercedes AMG CLA 45, everything.

*edit* I was curious about what kind of power Tesla Model S has...here's the spec: 762 bhp, 687 ft·lb

The Model 3's 44 KWh battery charged from 0-44 in BC would cost around $5.46 CAD at the maximum tier

This gets you 215 miles

Sedans like the Accord are around 30 MPG. Gas in Vancouver is around $4.30 USD per gallon, so it would cost $30.80 USD [$40.33 CAD] in gas to drive 215 miles

You just found this out?

yenno....except on a track, or anywhere else with turns...

Timpo gon' Timp

I don't know about track but it's definitely impressive.

Also those luxury sedans will most likely spend their time on street than track.

According to Road & Track, the Model S did 0.91g on their skidpad testing...it also has 0.24 Cd rating.

Here's some videos for you Timpo.

So basically Ferrari and Lambo suck at launch and only good for top speed.
Whereas Tesla is opposite.

It's still impressive that you need those super expensive exotic cars to compare with electric sedan.

I'm quite confident that Tesla will improve at faster rate than petro powered vehicle.

This is going to be similar to trains.
Steam locomotives were better than electric trains...as technology advanced, electric trains quickly surpassed steam locomotives.

a picture (dyno graph) is better than a thousand words.

People had enough with the expensive gas price, period

If gas isn't 1 to 1.6 a litre, but 75 cents i will not ordera Tesla.

It won't be long before you'd have to be insane to buy a normal every day car containing an internal combustion engine. It will just be silly... Those types of vehicles will eventually be relegated to niche markets, and eventually for nostalgia purposes only. Self-driving will be an option similar to air conditioning today - not on every car, but pretty much the first 'luxury' to get.

After that, people will look back at these dirty, noisy things and look at them the same way we look at horse and buggies today. Sure they will always be fun to ride, but so are horses.

$5-10 (depend on which level you are using at home)

Home charger cord takes forever to charge.. For best performance you need the DC inverter which is about $5000 installed.

Without the DC inverter, how long will it take. 8 hrs? Or more?

Depends on which S model you have (ie battery size).. I would say 8 hours minimum.. they all say "over night"

Family friend who owns the model S was telling me he gets an 80% charge in 2.5 hours with the home kit?

Is the home charging kit include or extra accessories ?

I don't know if Tesla is going to be able to keep up with other companies though. I know Asian companies in particular, are very good at this.

Apple introduced iPhone, which is the base of all smart phones we have.
Then Samsung, LG, Sony, etc...have been doing pretty good job competing against iPhone.

There will always be core fan of Tesla, just like iPhone...but other companies will improve too.
Combustion engine will keep disappearing, just like flip phones kept disappearing.

10/10 troll post, would read again

or who knows, maybe Tesla will just keep dominating the EV market
