A few people at work have Model X’s and they park them on the street. They use those like rubber car ramps to conceal the cable over the sidewalk when charging..kinda ghetto

Anyone interested in an EV should be doing research regarding chargers. Because my understanding is that only Tesla’s can use the “supercharger”? Where as Tesla’s can use any charger with the adapter?
Most family's have more than one car. So one smaller EV for daily and another bugger car for road trips. With the money your saving on fuel you could just rent a car for long road trips.

The EV Cannonball record is 50 hours, 16 minutes, 32 seconds. That's from California to New York.
