This is stepping onto the “Evil” side, and done for the sake of a “trend” it’s going to get people killed some day. (BTW as mentioned in the article the legal age in MA is 16 anyway) Edit: originally put “innocent people” but then decided, no, socialnet clout is not something for which you want _anyone_ dead. ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > New Mexico? I can’t see anything about that in the article. Am I just missing it? It wasn’t in that article, but a map was released which showed where he stopped to charge his truck between Denver and Las Vegas, NV. One of those stops was Las Vegas, NM, which is on the route he took. So he didn’t drive to the ‘wrong’ Vegas first…it happened to be on the way to the ‘right’ Vegas. I’m guessing he took that route to avoid the mountains in Colorado, as it’s 300 miles farther than driving on I-70. Or maybe there are more charging stations along that route.

> [@Railer13](#): > > I’m guessing he took that route to avoid the mountains in Colorado, as it’s 300 miles farther than driving on I-70. Or maybe there are more charging stations along that route. That’s a hell of a detour to charge an EV. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > That’s a hell of a detour to charge an EV. You have hit the nail on the head. It’s what keeps me from going electric. Sure around Phoenix is fine, but I like to travel and I like to drive. It takes a full charge just to get out of Arizona! Going east (to I40) it’s uphill all the way. Though I would be interested to know if going I70 would have worked. Can’t the Wankenpanzer go over a little 11K foot hill? ---

It takes a full charge just to get out of Arizona! Going east (to I40) it’s uphill all the way. I don’t dispute your point or your concern. Having lived in SoCal, Phoenix, and Las Vegas and having a pretty good handle on Southwest geography and the interstates … ISTM that about 20 Supercharger or equivalent generic facilities installed at existing truck stops would serve 100% of the presently under-served interstates in the non-urban SoCal, NV, AZ, NM, CO & WY market. 30 tops. That’s a trivial infrastructure project. Trivial enough that I’m a bit surprised it doesn’t already exist. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > That’s a hell of a detour to charge an EV. Tesla shows plenty of charging stations along I-70 and I-15. So either he went through NM to avoid the mountain passes in Colorado, or he put in the wrong Vegas as a destination. I’m guessing the former, but we’ll obviously never know. ---

Perhaps he had an unrealistic degree of range / recharge hassle anxiety. I imagine many folks new to EVs (rent or own) worry excessively about that until they have more experience. ---
