Now that is some major improvement. Get that up to 400-500 miles and I'm a happy driver (they're already halfway!)

This is a bunch of shit. There is not a passenger vehicle on the market today that gets this range without a gimmick such as a second tank, or an overly large (20+gallons) tank.

But even then, Elon is claiming that we'll have 600+ mile at some point (I assume he means some point soon).

My Aveo gets around 400 miles on an 11 gallon tank...

I get 398 in my Chrysler 200 but I think that is a 14 or 15 gallon tank.

400 miles is better than 36 MPG for the entire tank of gas. I call bullshit.

There is no way you are doing:

Get that up to 400-500 miles and I'm a happy driver

You are projecting bias.
Can it get it? I am sure, fuck my car can get better than 40 mpg if I drive a careful 55-60 at all times with super gentle acceleration. But that is not real world.

The semi's I drove would get 1000+ miles per tank, but that's talking 120 gallons a tank, today it's closer to 200 gallons a tank

I'm "only" getting ~34 right now according to my calculations at the pump, I think I need to check my tire air pressure, because it normally is around 36mpg.

What matters is the recharge time. I have no idea how long it takes to recharge to get another 265 miles.

20 minutes apparently

20 minutes is a pitstop for most folks.

That's kinda long. I wouldn't want to have to stop 20 mins for every 3 hours I drive (70+ mph highway). I think the average stop for me is 15 min or less.

20 minutes is an eternity unless the vehicle is self driving and I am not paying attention to the trip time anyway.

When I stop for gas on a normal trip, I am there less than 10 minutes counting time off the highway, fueling, and time back to the highway.

Yep I agree. This really needs to be cut down to 10 mins, but that just might be unreasonable due to technology.

It depends on how much you really want that car specifically. It's starting to look kind of bad from my end, not due to time but expense. Too many variables right now for me to realistically purchase even a model 3. The Model S prices are crazy but it's also aluminum work, which the model 3 won't have.

We'll see.
