  1. I live in Asia and travel several times a year to the US. I won’t even use a California airport as my gateway. (For that matter, I won’t connect through Portland or Seattle, either.)

  2.  @hanshansen3885  — That charge time is from Tesla and is based on utilizing the Tesla “Megacharger” (750 kW), which are currently rare as hen’s teeth. “With less than 2 kWh per mile of energy consumption, Semi can travel up to 500 miles on a single charge. Recover up to 70 percent of range in 30 minutes using Tesla's Semi Chargers.” — Tesla To do that, the truck would have to be getting almost a mile/kWh. Do the math. Currently, real world charge times are double what you’re quoting. “The Tesla Semis have been driving over 400 miles on a single charge with full loads and average speeds of 65 miles per hour. Tesla can do 70% charge in 60 minutes and 90% charge in 90 minutes. 15-30 minutes for 15-35% topoff charges. Pepsi has 750 kw chargers installed. Tesla Semi were charging during the day to get operated distance.” — Pepsi To get that 1-mile/kWh, they would be forced to drive at an appreciably reduced speed. Tesla has done a good job with the truck, but it won’t match the legs of a diesel. Don’t be disingenuous …

  4. That would be fine, except I’m not willing to spend 30-40k USD on a grocery-getter. The wife has a beautiful 2000 Buick that gets about 5000 in-town miles a year, one oil change a year, I put brakes in it about eight years ago which are about half worn out. Last year I put a mass airflow sensor in it, and new wiper blades. Maintenance is horrible on those ICE cars !! I’d be weary of a used EV with the uncertainty of battery life, unless I could find a cherry 15 year-old Tesla (when the time comes) for a couple of grand that I would simply junk if the battery died.
