You lease a Tesla. You go on winter sports. That’s possible, because Elon has thought of everything. It is only a bit busy at the charging station. Nothing new under the sun, I already experienced it in the US in 2018; queues at Superchargers. No worries, loading is fast enough. But the people see big trouble.
A video of the queue goes viral on the socials. And then on Twitter this is your salary as a Tesla driver, I have already corrected the language errors:
“Tesla losers have to charge 4 x on the way to winter sports. Waiting times for hours every time. Who buys something like that? “
“On a skiing holiday in the loading pole file … haha!”
“I cannot suppress some suffering.”
“It’s something, with your tax benefit and company car on the road. How many people have bought the Tesla privately on this video? ”
“Am I very mean when I have to chuckle at that Tesla line at the charging stations?”
“What a Tesla stumperds. Long live the Duracell car! To laugh. To laugh. “
Interestingly, this hate wave. No respect for the fact that more and more people are racing free of emissions on the slopes. No appreciation for the brand that made this possible with a fantastic fast European charging station network, and for the willingness of users to accept any inconvenience in the event of congestion. The rancor rules. “Haha, and you benefit from the state with your low tax liability. Your earned wages! “
The fact that we are all lemas doesn’t matter anymore for the sake of convenience. Forget the endless summer traffic jams on the Péage, or the chaos at Luxembourg gas stations where the whole of Holland stands in line for a few cents. These herd animals are the real losers. Profiteers, from our tax pennies. The Tesla hype exposes the saddest side of the Dutch national character; suffering entertainment.
Some of that irritation is understandable. The Model 3 is in a way a symbol of inequality. Opposite the lucky ones who now drive a super-fast and dead-silent car for almost nothing is a large group of Dutch people who did not win prizes. But you cannot blame the Tesla drivers for using it. The Tesla bashers along the sidelines also seized the opportunity with both hands. As a self-employed person, I also benefit from a young-timer scheme that I no longer find up to date; drive an old Volvo for free with a CO2 emission of 250 grams per kilometer, come on. We are all opportunists. But please don’t blame the other.
I drove the Model 3 in California a year and a half ago. Perfect network. Sometimes it got stuck for a while, it was never a drama. And afterwards always at least 300 miles in da pocket. That’s four hundred and eighty kilometers, people. Masterly.
