How many gas stations are open?
Tesla owners would have charged in advance anyway.

When my house and the coastline of my state got wrecked my hurricane Sandy I had no problem getting gasoline. Electricity took almost three weeks.
Interesting.
I just read that 25% of Tampa gas stations are completely out of gas, and the majority are about out.. The run before the storm left many stations empty and drivers stranded too.
I'll bet no Tesla owners had trouble charging before the storm.
Can gas stations open without power?
Where are people driving today? Work? School? Movies?Are you just playing dumb?
Does that can give you more or less than the 300 miles a Tesla will take you?
No.
But in a worst case scenario you can hand pump the fuel out of the tanks.
Also, a lot of people have these (i have one). Goes in the back of a pickup truck and the pump gets power off the truck‘s electrical.

Again, this is for sh!t hits the fan scenario. In a situation like what we have down in Florida there’s almost no tactical difference between E-cars and ICE cars. sh!t hasn’t hit the fan yet.
The longer the power is out it starts to favor ICE if you are prepared in advance.
We all see the fools who try to drive their cars and trucks through washed out intersections and over-flowing creeks/rivers, etc. I wonder what happens when a Tesla driver tries its and stalls in water that turns out to be too deep. Could it be ‘shocking’ (hopefully there are news crews with their cameras on)
He is the moron who posted a thread about weather people needlessly hyping Hurricanes, the day before a cat 5 made landfall.
Apparently teslas do very well dealing with floods. Sorry for the annoying video, there’s other sources.
As much as I love my EV, I'd like to see what the Tesla battery looked like afterwards.
fun fact; tesla's loose battery life while idle. ask my father in law how fun it was after a three week trip oversees to come back to his car with zero battery life.
sandy was fun. every boat had essentially free gas! just remember how to siphon and check to make sure no water!
honestly, this is just dumb. government mandates one way or the other is just wrong. both energy systems have their place and value.

Seems even supercars are not immune:
Wonder if it will turn up at some auction..."may have been submerged in water".

You see a lot of supercars down there. You can bet plenty of them were lost inside garages.
