I think @elonmusk believes 0-60 time is the key gauntlet to throw down for EVs to win vs ICE but I think it’s range. Just as nobody really *needs* 650mi of range, nobody *needs* 0-60 in 1.99s either. But range is what (irrationally) scares ppl away from EVs, not acceleration.

When you buy a Tesla, you don’t need to install any kind of special charging station. All you need is a 240v dryer outlet for overnight charging in about 8 hours, or even just a standard 110v/120v wall outlet if you drive less than 50 miles a day.
