You can now play games in your Tesla while it charges

https://www.wired.com/story/bored-charg ... -your-car/

Starting this week, Tesla drivers have access to “Arcade,” a collection of games they can play on their car’s center screen to pass the time while plugged in, or anywhere else. Along with Atari classics like Pong, these include a special edition of Beach Buggy Racing 2, a Mario Kart–like game produced by Bay Area–based developer Vector Unit. As long as the car is in park, drivers can race on 22 tracks, using the steering wheel and brake pedal to control their avatar (acceleration is automatic).

Not really the price I'm talking about but correct me if I'm wrong ...Tesla disables alot of features and warranty is out the door once vehicle isn't in the US or other other supported counties etc

Then there is the logistics of importing one

What distance you get on a full charge ? What increase on your elec bill. Could you work out the cost per charge?

tt is like .35c a kilowatthour if i remember correctly
it can take 150kwh to fast charge a model x
so that 52.5 tt to fully charge a 150kwh

u get like 523 km per 100kwh

so that is 784.5 km per 150 kwh

so 52.5 tt giving u 784 km.. it should be less due to efficiency losses and extra heat here.

i would be cautious and say a 150kwh charge will give 100kwh usage in the vehicle, and use the 523 per 52.5 tt.

so to be conservative, using 523km range,

it would take 75tt to give that same range with cng.

I live in an apartment complex so I don’t have home charging.

And full charge all depends. It says 250miles but that doesn’t take in to consideration if you’re playing music, ac is on, charging your phone etc...

To charge the battery to 100% at a Tesla super charger it’s like $14 and it takes around 45mins.
