These experiences really sucks, and show where Tesla has a significant edge over the competition. Their superchargers always work, and their built in routing is great.

It's such a shame that other manufactures have taken the "oh we make cars, we can't fix the infrastructure" approach to EVs, which is so short sighted. Really hope they quickly figure out that they need to invest in EV infrastructure, not just EV R&D. With a bit of luck Tesla Model 2 will hit its price point, then the old auto manufactures are going to have a really bad time selling EVs.

Almost always work. My M3 ended up on a flatbed after the bank of chargers failed.

Electric BMW M3?

That would be totally cool. A BMW E30 or an Audi 100 Coupé S electric conversion.

I assume it’s a Model 3

If Elon Musk follows through on opening up the supercharger network to all EVs, it will be profitable for him and a gamechanger for all EVs.

When I'm traveling, time is money, and I'm happy to pay for the charge. Electrify America saved my butt on my recent odyssey by mostly providing 100 kWh fast charges, but the semi-broken fast chargers in Grants Pass and Albany, Oregon both cost me an unnecessary additional hour delivering only 33 kWh apiece.

You are not happy to pay for gas that is a lot quicker?
