- Rivian R1S, Tesla Model Y
Full electric here. We have a Model 3 and a Model Y. We’ll not go back to ICE.
We only have one 240v outlet in the garage. My commute is 30 miles one way. Wife’s is only 7 miles. No problem filling up both cars. Don’t even need to specifically work on a charging schedule. We just take turns. I always get the priority because I drive more. She doesn’t need to charge every day anyway.
We just got our Y in June but have had our 3 since July 2018. We took the 3 to Toronto in winter and to Moab and Las Vegas in summer. The car have seen temperatures from 0 to 110F. No problem with charging. Would the trip be faster if we drove an ICE. Probably. Would it be more enjoyable? Absolutely not.
I could only speak about Tesla though because both of ours are Teslas. If you’re gonna take road trips, other charging networks are not as convenient as the supercharger network.
