A good run in a Tesla Model S P85 should be about 12.4 seconds.
A good run in a P85D should be about 11.7 seconds.

Good points about the importance of low weight and improved CD,
Lawrence. If the Tesla Model 3 can be more efficient than the Model S,
that would help get the price down from Model S levels while still

It is actually 14.4 kWh from 110V/12A. Most people have 15A circuits and
shouldn't draw more than 12A.
When I first got my Tesla, I was charging on 110V and having some trouble
keeping up. My normal commute is 50 miles round trip, plus side trips. The
Tesla has about 250-300 wh per mile.

The assumption of what "nearly everyone needs in a day" is based on
averages, right?
Averages are built from data ranging from minimums to maximums. But real
range needs are based on maximums. So it would be erroneous to assume
that averages define the actual range needs of most people.

I'd agree with that. And I hope I'm not coming across as suggesting that
in-home L1 charging is the only way that an EV would ever be charged.
My point is that most people don't need more than L1
The normal verbiage used is average and you are correct (I think) in pointing
out that if a BEV is to be your only vehicle you might want to look at average
plus 2 standard deviations which would cover 95% of your travels and leave only
5% needing to use public transit or a rental vehicle. In m
To give an illustration of how high the need is for fast charging:
I have at least 3 L2 chargers since 2 years and I have not installed any of
them yet,
since overnight L1 charging is more than I need for my daily driving needs.
Of course, I plan to install at least one L2 station later this year
State opf Maryland study came up with only 0.3% of the need is fast
charging. This was from a total indepth DOT transportation and counting
of vehicle statistics on all roads in the state.

Charging associated with hotels seems like a good idea for road trips.
For day-to-day local use, do you primarily drive an EV where you use L1
charging at home or are you talking theoretically?

The big factor you left out is daily driving mileage. If you're putting 80
miles a day on the car, yes, L1 is probably borderline at best for y
So I take it you aren't driving an electric car and using L1 at home to
do all or most of your driving?
For us it isn't hypothetical or theoretical. And for anyone, please be

Yes, but not necessarily with rapid charging.
When 200-mile ranges become the norm, as is promised soon -- say, a 40 kWh

All I can tell you is that from our experience, L2 is not rapid
charging, it's normal charging. Whereas when you have somewhere to go
soon, L1 is punishment charging.
There are places where L1 works well, for example at an airport where
the car is going to sit for days. And no doubt there ar
