Rev II Roadster Reservations Open

Anybody here ready to clunk down $5K?
Great! Then get ready to wire the balance, due just 10 days later .......
$245,000.00
I wonder how many thousands of customers will Pony up to get in that line. Anybody?

I don't know, doing over 200 mph out on the open Highway? That and the price are just a little too rich for my blood.

I'm sure if you were doing 80% charge & only getting a 450-mile range (80ish% of max) because you're doing, say, 150mph-ish, you're still sittin' pretty. Either way, certain Italian ½$million exotic manufacturers must have poo in their shorts about now.

depends on how empty you want to pretend the vehicle is. Are you down only 1kWh? 120v will charge (after losses) @ ~1kWh per hr. Are you down 80 kwh? Same formula. You'd need 80 hours. Most plug-in owners don't live in North Central North Dakota though - where very few L2 or L3 Chargers exist.
If you're in the civilized world, all you need do is have enough charge to get to a faster charging place other than 120 volts. That might be a strip mall, dealership, supercharger, Hotel, ETC. For that minority person wanting a plug-in - & they're in the central Outback? yeah - don't buy one.

how far?
I pulled this screenshot from Tesla's website, which gives an idea how much farther one can go at ridiculously slow speeds, even in one of their much heavier cars;

Owners have experimented on cross-country Journeys, as to whether it's faster to drive the speed limit ... or (gasp!!) even trailing behind a slower vehicle ..... or to go much faster & need to recharge sooner.
It turns out, the driving faster formula works better, because the amount of kWh's saved by driving slower does not pencil out as enough of a savings when compared against Tesla's fast charging Network. Their trick, they say, is to charge no more than 80% full or less, because that's when superchargers will Throttle Down as the traction pack approaches that level of charge.
