Ha, ha. Yeah, there are people that have never seen a Tesla or know what they are. Typically older vs. younger. But more and more being sold here in San Diego the past few weeks. I’ve noticed more and more people with them driving around. I’m the 3rd one in my development to buy one in the past few weeks.
I went with the 85 Performance Model S. With the dual chargers. I got the High power wall charger. It charges the battery at a rate of 60 miles per hour so it’s only a few hours and it’s fully charged.
I just set my timer on my car to start charging at 1 AM and it’s easily fully charged by the time I wake up in the morning. I typically only drive about 50 miles per day but since I’ve got it, It’s more like 100 miles per day. I find excuses to drive it. It never takes more than 2 hours to charge back those 100 miles.
Really really amazing technology. The car is amazing.
To estimate how much it would be to charge and how long it will take.
For example, with the TOU meter and charging of peak, it takes less than 1:42 minutes to charge 100 miles. And at 0.14 cents per kWh it will only cost $4.61 in fuel/electricity.
