Well you are biased too, arent you :)

Ofcourse things are improving, but he just said the current situation with electric cars on roadtrips. And what he said is you currently have to plan more and yeah, you get more trouble as a newbie. Everyone is a newbie until they are not.

Disclaimer: I would like to have an electric car.

If she would have followed the beta-trip planning navigation on-board, then I'm sure she would have made it with ease. I already made that trip a few times and it's simple with a Tesla.

The author's a she, btw.

So all those hundreds of thousands of new Tesla owners are having this same bad experience, hate the brand, and tell everyone that?

Oh, wait, Tesla has extremely high ratings from owners.

If you'd like to have an electric car, you owe it to yourself to gather information from more than a single Bloomberg reporter.

You're the only one who mentioned "hate the brand", and the experience wasn't that bad. (Although she did skip one of her destinations.)

You appear to have missed my point: different people evaluate "the situation with cars on roadtrips" differently, and this Bloomberg reporter is one data point. The person I replied to appears to be over-interpreting one data point, and brand loyalty points to a different average opinion.

If you're attempting to make the point that this one data point isn't even that bad, that's a fine point to make, but it's confusing how that relates to this sub-thread.
