    Lol, yeah. Everyone I talk to about my car instantly becomes a weekend road tripper, like they are constantly going on thousand mile road trips to the middle of nowhere where there aren’t any charging stations.

      Most people own cars a long time and it’s used for all their trips, around town and crossbcountry. You only have to get stuck somewhere remote once without a way to charge to have a bad time.

          Definitely, but it’s much easier to get some gas and bring it back to the car. Lots of people that can help and lots of services to call on. Not impossible but much fewer options for an all-electric.

        So you buy a car that’s extremely excessive in 99% of use cases to cover that 1%?

        What keeps you from just renting a car for that 1%? I guess that’s why startups like Kyte are adopting a “car rental to your door” service…
