I would probably be included among the idiots if not for the advice on this forum. I am new to EVs. My wife however has owned a Model 3 for several years and said "if you get. in your car and say "take me to Las Vegas," (we live in San Diego), then the app will show you your range and charging stations you'll. need to stop at along the way. I get the impression from comments here and our own experience that it is NOT that simple.
My wife seems to forget that when we drove the Model 3 from San Diego to Arizona, a planned stop in Yuma became a nightmare when the car started to say "slow down to 65 mph to reach your destination," then, "slow down to 55....," and then we found we would only make it by turning off the AC (in the desert). You can imagine the fun we had.
Not so coincidentally, I'd like to drive to Las Vegas, so any advice on how to avoid idiot-like behavior would be appreciated. Is it as simple as comparing the Porsche system to something independent like "plugshare"?
