WARNING! BIG ASS RANT INCOMING:
How the fuck are these lousy EV's a viable product for road trips!? SHADDUP HEHE, youre insane.
This morning, i wanted to go to the meat up at spic banks, but noooo wife wanted to go to the States and go shopping. fine fine i caved and we left the house with 80% charge and 360km of range.
Drove down to the Seattle Premium Outlet and it was 33% charge and 140kms left. RUH OH! okay, so i find a Tesla supercharger at the Premium Outlet... no problem right? yeah, if you can get the fucking cord to even reach. Elon's cord is about as short as his fucking dick. fuck you elon. I was finally able to get it to reach by parking a bit diagonally and of course in a handycapped spot. Guess how much it cost to go from 33% to 80%? 28 USD!! WHAT THE FUCK!? thats almost 50 bucks canadian. Guess how long? 28 god damn minutes!!! i sat there, parked sideways, in a handicap spot, cursing elon and hehe for 28 fucking minutes.
WHY DO THIS!? WHY!?
and why not more than 80% you ask? because there is a congestion charge with tesla and if its busy, which it was (and prime charging period, so its even more expensive at .70 cents a KWH) any more than 80% and you'll get dinged .50 cents a minute. You also have to move your damn car if its full or else its the same charge.
So after yelling at the sky and cursing whoever thought of this god forsaken fuckshow of a "life style" we went down to Bellevue to do some shopping. Thats all fine and dandy, drove back and it was 50% charge when i got back to the premium outlet.... soooo i looked on the stupid app and saw the only ones close are in Burlington. Otherwise, no superchargers till we get back to vancouver. 50% 200ish km.... made me nervous. So we stopped again for another 25ish minutes to charge the fucker back up to 80%. Cant do more than 80% cuz they'll ding you that lousy .50 cents per minute congestion fee.
So what do you do for 20-30 minutes while this thing charges? well the wife went to shop at the outletmall the first time, the 2nd time we went to the nearby bestbuy. Cant stray too far because you gotta go back to your dumb ass car and unplug the fucking thing.
We got back to vancouver, I went to the Ironwood Steveston Tesla place to top her up (around 50% charge) and go eat pho 37 for dinner. While eating pho, i had to constantly keep an eye on the damn app to make sure when its 80% i stop it and move the car. Is this how youre suppose to live!? at the mercy of some stupid ass car!?
WHY?! WHY LIVE LIKE THIS!?!?!?
FUCK THIS SHIT,
FUCK EV's
FUCK YOUR MOTHER,
FUCK YOUR FATHER,
FUCK YOU ELON and your bitch ass cunt faggot car

The car itself is great! very quiet on the highway, even the horrible i5 with the lousy broken cement. Ride was comfortable and smooth. So smooth and comfortable that i nearly fell asleep 3x during the trip. Thank god that annoying ass toyota eye sight system kept alerting me, HEY RETARD STOP FALLING ASLEEP. The self-driving was good enough that i was basically zoned out the entire time.
But my god, the whole charging shit is BS. never again will i take an EV on a road trip. Pointless extra work.
City car only, too and from work. Anything that requires more than 100km, im taking a gasoline car. How can a trip to seattle require 3 god damn stops for eletricity and basically an hour of your life waiting on a stupid car. In an ICE car thats at best 1 gas stop, 3 minutes, and youre good to go. No checking the app, no worrying about unplugging your shit, NOTHING.
