I can imagine you never took a long road trip (say 600+ miles) with your Leaf. Then you'll understand the value of a fast charging network like Tesla has.


Agreed. I worried after I got my Tesla 2 years ago that it would just be a toy, only usable for short range trips. But 2 weeks after we got it we went on a 2,300 mile each way road trip, and it worked great. I was sold on the super charger turning the car into a truly useful thing instead of just a toy. And the new ~3.5x faster chargers are going to make it a gas-like experience.


You would imagine correctly.

Then you'll understand the value of a fast charging network like Tesla has.

I understand the value just fine. And for me, it's not very high; certainly not high enough to pay more than double for the car (had Model S's even existed when the Leaf was purchased).


So, basically, you're saying that the supercharger network has no value for anyone because you own a Leaf?

No wonder Tesla-related threads on HN are such high value.

Next up: guy complaining that electric cars will never succeed because he lives in an apartment and can't currently charge at home.

I can’t begin to imagine the mental confusion necessary to lead you to that conclusion. To be clear, no, that’s not what I said at all.


Cool. I'll just remain confused. Thanks.

No, it's not. You can order it here too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00VKTZFB4/ref=dp_olp...


Thanks a lot! I knew somebody on HN would figure out how to order it without an echo.

Which is probably a link sent to you from your Echo, if you search it on amazon you just get this page http://smile.amazon.com/b/?node=14047587011
