I'm guessing the trend hasn't really caught on here yet.......but it will......I'm on the east coast, barely two miles from a Tesla showroom. I still hardly ever see one.

I don't even see or hear any advertising.No incentives on the east coast?
Have you taken one for a test drive?I'm on the east coast, barely two miles from a Tesla showroom. I still hardly ever see one.

I do see them here in Colorado but not nearly as often as I do when I working in California. A couple a day there is the norm but once a month here at home. How much tyme does it take to fill your tank with Petro? 5 minutes? How long to charge at a charging station?
Fat Boss. You are right. Not ignorant, arrogant. And yes, I have five vehicles. I would guess that puts us in a small minority, more vehicles than drivers.
It does prove my point. The EV is not a car which can replace the average fossil fuel vehicle for the average family. It does something’s well, others, not so much.
Food for thought, if you are one of the upper 10% or god forbid, one of the 1%. Do you even know what average is? From what I have read here, nope. I did a quick canvas of family and friends, none own an EV or know of anyone who does. Not scientific, I know. Just a snap shot of average Americans.
Time spent plugging in my car? About 10 seconds. Better than 5 minutes at the pump, week in and week out.
A super charger on my Boss might work?.........maybe not..............With or without the so-called super charger?
My brother in law has a model S and I love driving the car. I could even see buying one. I certainly have no problem with the EVs but my point was that it takes less that 5 minutes to fill my gas guzzlers. It might take ten seconds for you to plug in your EV but how long before she's fully charged or for that matter 50% charged? With or without the so-called super charger?

That may work now, with today's ratio of EVs to EV charging stations. But with more EVs you should expect that ratio to increase, increasing the likelihood that you'll have to wait up to half an hour or more just to get your recharging started. Since you'll have to keep tabs on the customer ahead of you, that half hour won't be 'free' time, to do what you please with.
FWIW, XenForo is pretty poor about sending out notices of reply.

The Kettleman City Tesla charging station is already impacted. It's approximately half way between Sacramento or the SF Bay Area and SoCal so it's very popular. Peeps drive the 400+ miles a lot and you see more EV's on I-5 making that drive than you'd expect. But more stations will be built.
