Fueleconomy.gov has the Prius Prime

For full disclosure, Supercharger access and fees for the Model 3 has not be released.

The majority of people that bought a Model S or X would not have bought a Prius instead. The competitors in the Tesla's segments have fuel economy in the twenties to low thirties for hybrids and diesels. The Teslas are cheaper to take on a long trip than them.

Charge time is a factor. I understand wanting to just get a long drive done. Yet Tesla owners are finding that the forced breaks make their trips less stressful. For my wife and her health issues, they might reduce the pain she is in the next day.

 

We take many, many breaks on our long trips (every 1-2 hours). However, none of them are compatible with Tesla charging. They tend to be 10 minute breaks at rest stops or gas stations, or breaks for meals, none of which are ever very close to places we eat. On our last trip, the closest we ate to a Supercharger was just over a mile. Most were 20-120 miles away. With 300 mile range Ev's, long trips would need Superchargers at all these places which is likely impractical. A 600 mile Ev combined with CHAdeMO chargers at hotels, restaurants and rest stops would make long trips in Ev's practical for us.
