Give That Tesla A Pep Talk

Jack took a drive and plugged his Tesla in for 45 minutes and got 6 miles worth of power. These public charging stations are apparently crap. Joe has a great idea, just pep talk the car!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
My trip over the weekend driving my Tesla, reinforcing my
opinion that the world is not ready for electric cars
as a real you travel in all the time vehicle.
Because even driving my Tesla, where was I half Moon Bay?
So I'm thirty miles from where it was built. I mean,

(00:20):
there's more Tesla chargers there than anywhere else in the world,
and still I ended up a long way from a
Tesla charger. Really low. If you live in a town
where they've got some of those electric car chargers downtown,
those are a farce. Those are a joke. You paid
for those with your taxpayer money, and they don't do anything.
You know why you never see a car plugged into them,

(00:41):
because they don't do anything right. Gallon Wall Street Journal
just published a piece today. She hit all of LA's
non Tesla charging stations and forty percent of them wouldn't work.
Forty percent. Oh that's funny. I ran into a couple
that didn't work, and the ones that do work, the
non Tesla chargers sat there for forty five minutes and

(01:02):
picked up six miles. Wow, forty five minutes. That's what
you paid for to get there. So you can virtue
signal to the world that you're a cool, upscale town
that has electric car charges. They don't do anything I
should have mentioned. All she checked was the fast charge stations,
because the ones you're referring to are utterly useful. They

(01:24):
are useless. And that's what you've got at your library,
your school, your sporting venue, wherever town you live. That
you want to be all progressive and thinking for the future,
it's crap. It's just a lie. How do not more
people know that? You might as well just have a
guy standing there who gives your car a peptile pep talk.

(01:45):
You can do it, you can go a few more miles.
Let's see. Come. I I believe in you. You worth
the same as those damn slow chargers from
