But as of right now you see there aren’t many charging options around me. That Target is 27 miles from my house 10 miles further than the closest Target. However I am on that side of town weekly at the Lexus dealership. I wasn’t aware we were getting new SC. Thanks 🤝

I get it but I’m not the only person here who sees the benefit of a PHEV and don’t look at them as the worst of both worlds. Some may suggest since I drive in EV mode so much that I should get a BEV. In due time.😁

I think you misunderstood me. Just because there are no benefits for me owning a phev doesn't mean they don't have benefits to others, like yourself. It's like saying there's no benefits for me owning an F-250, but my neighbor on the other hand has a flooring business, so for him it does

I think you'll agree RAV4 Prime is the most direct comparison to the Model Y

63 pounds less for the RAV.
I fully understand how a PHEV works, I just don't want one.

Look at it like this, you leave home with your cell phone, do you carry your charger in your pocket or a carry a battery pack? The gas engine is like having a battery pack for when that cell phone battery gets low…when I run out of EV range, switch over to gas.
I get it, I’m a wannabe BEV🫣🤣 I wont rule out a BEV as my next daily. 😁

Yes

I like having a vehicle I don’t see often. I had to travel 4hrs to get mine with the options I wanted. I watched a lady walk to a Honda Pilot, peeked inside the window then walked away. Moments later she was driving away in the same color Pilot she peeked inside.

I agree. Tesla has the data to know when and where to expand the charging infrastructure. Especially with so many other manufacturers moving to Tesla's charging system, you'll see growth of chargers everywhere.
Speaking of data... I never thought of this but I fully assume Tesla knows where people are coming from and ending up as they hit supercharger stations since a Tesla is always locatable. That's kinda fascinating. And I also fully assume that info will be collectable from the other manufacturers using Tesla's chargers in the future since they had to agree to give Tesla access to certain elements of data about the car as it connects to the charger.

I’ve never noticed anything different with my EV compared to my gas car even in sub zero weather but that kind of weather doesn’t happen that often here. It gets so hot my wife is always turning down the temp on her side of the car.

Well, gas car needs more time to heat up. Diesel car even more and they usually have electric wires helping the heating, otherwise it takes too long in freezing temps.
