All Police Interceptor?
If the electricity goes out, so do the gas pumps.due to a natural disaster or whatnot.
Sounds like he’d have several spare gas cans standing by.. But solid point nonetheless.If the electricity goes out, so do the gas pumps.
That is true, but an ICE will usually have a longer range (usually 400 miles at least), and can have even more if say a pickup truck with an auxiliary fuel tank. And if you have an outside shed, you can store some additional fuel.If the electricity goes out, so do the gas pumps.
There’s always this option. ??Would only buy one personally if I had a secondary ICE vehicle to serve as a backup in the event of say having to get out of dodge, so-to-speak, due to a natural disaster or whatnot. Also I do not like the use of the touchscreen for everything, I like physical buttons and dials for the major functions. I also do not like the Formula One steering wheel certain of the Teslas have or the pop-up door handles which can freeze over. Otherwise though, from what I have read, they are huge fun to drive because of the quietness and instant torque and also great due to the lack of maintenance.
One thing you absolutely should do is research the hell out of the vehicle, like go onto some Tesla forums and ask if there are any specific problems you should be aware of, how they do in winter, etc...
It is rather telling that a company called “Blink” makes a gasoline generator you carry in your EV trunk for an emergency power source!There’s always this option. ??

Could you not just carry a standard 2000w inverter generator? It would take a while to charge, but it’s better than nothing.It is rather telling that a company called “Blink” makes a gasoline generator you carry in your EV trunk for an emergency power source!
The flying club here recently acquired a Pipstrel electric airplane. I’m looking forward to adding it to my logbook. Should be interesting and different. Not planning any long cross countries, however.
Very cool. Do they have real world info on operating performance? I’ve only seen the glossy brochure.
You can fill the tank of a Ford F-150 with a mechanical pump a hell of a lot faster then you will charge a Tesla with any variety of mechanical electricity generator. I can imagine a time when that would be important, but can't say I can imagine it actually happening anytime soon.If the electricity goes out, so do the gas pumps.
