Tesla owners discover the cost of virtue (Thank you, Holden, I'd missed this)

‘Bet they wish they had gas!’ Chaos in California as Tesla drivers are stranded for hours in a half-a-mile-long line to charge their cars on Black Friday

• Shanon Stellini was travelling through Kettleman City on November 30 when she stumbled across around 50 of the electric cars waiting in line for a recharge

• The stagnant procession reportedly spanned back more than half a mile

• ‘Bet they wish they had gas’, quipped Stellini’s partner in a video she captured of the backlog - but for the drivers stranded it was no laughing matter

• The Supercharging station's 40 charge points was still not enough to meet the overwhelming demand of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend

• To make matters worse, simultaneous re-charging slows down the speed of for everyone – stalling a process that can already take up to 75 minutes

I’ve pointed out, several times over the past couple of years, that there’s no such thing as a five-minute fill-up with these Eveready Bunnies, and anyone planning a trip had better add in a 4-hour recharging stop along the way. And just wait until the Green Eels kill off the petroleum industry and add millions more battery toys to our highways.

Of course, that’s part of the plan: kill off cars. Collectivists want us all in cities, where we can be better supervised and controlled.

And long into the night. Driving to Granny’s? Pack your PJs!
