I have a Tesla ~10k miles and have not used supercharger yet because I just plug the car in at home once a week.

If you estimate total pump time.

IE 35 minutes on supercharger vs 10 minutes on gas (including time to drive to station) but take into account number of times you need to actually charge up the car at a super charger. IE once every 2 months vs 3x per month, you will see that you actually spend less total time in a charger station vs gas pump.

What all of these analyses fail to realize is that the network is just used for clearing most of trading and payments are actually done off network. Think of the difference between energy used to buy gold (just buy GLD) vs energy used to move physical gold. (Fuel + Security etc)

I simply don't get it. Mein Kumf by Hitler is allowed and is the "#1 Best Seller in European Politics Books" but Dr Seuss books are banned.

Why the implicit antisemitism and need to list Israel in the name. I find it interesting that we never list other country origins when discussing their issues

The replacement will not be laying bricks but new technologies.

Computers didn't replace human "calculators" by using abacus.

People are missing one factor.

In going from an 8 cylinder to a Prius you are going to save more gas than in going from a Prius to a Tesla, and even though we might not all be driving Teslas anytime soon the majority of us will drive more efficient cars.
