Perhaps knowing electricity is so cheap encourages people to drive, or they like their car so much they want to spend more time behind the wheel? I dunno, I hope I enjoy the MME as much and it encourages me to take more road trips I have put off.
But as others have said in this thread, there are still compromises, it’s just that it seems for many other Tesla owners, the pros of road-tripping in a BEV completely outweigh the cons. Otherwise, I can’t see why anyone would want to spend 30-60 minutes with a supercharger and have to also think about where they are located when you can just pull off at any exit and spend 5 minutes at a gas station on a road trip with an ICE. That’s still very much an ICE advantage. Otherwise Tesla wouldn’t be putting in so much effort to expand their charging network and increase charging speeds, they are trying to close that gap and I hope they, Ford, and the broader BEV industry succeeds.
