Tesla's Sales in Europe Fall to a 15-Month Low

I don't understand the value of the charging network. Who drives 400 miles in a day? It's much more efficient to either have access to a gasoline car when that's necessary or just rent one for $50 a day.

Renting a car for $50 a day plus gas does not make sense when you can charge off-peak (at least in my area) for about $7.

I took my cybertruck on a beautiful road trip through eastern Washington just this past week. I needed nearly all of its advertised 320 mile range because charger coverage is sparse. Sure I may only make trips like that a few times a year but I’m sure glad for the range when I do. After owning EVs for a few years, I find it obnoxious to have to do constant trips to a gas station and expensive maintenance.
