Common Myths, Debunked

Let's address the misconceptions you may have heard about electric vehicles

You can't take an EV through a car wash
MYTH

"You can't take an EV through a car wash"

REALITY

Completely false. Tesla vehicles can go through any car wash just like gas cars. They're sealed and waterproof—you can even drive through deep water. Use Car Wash Mode for best results. Wash away!

There aren't enough charging stations
MYTH

"There aren't enough charging stations"

REALITY

Tesla's Supercharger network has 73,000+ connectors globally and is growing daily. Plus you charge at home overnight—something you can't do with gas. Most drivers never need public charging.

EVs don't have enough range
MYTH

"EVs don't have enough range"

REALITY

Modern Teslas travel over 300 miles per charge (up to 321 miles EPA for Model 3)—more than most people drive in a week. For road trips, Superchargers add ~200 miles in just 15 minutes.

Electric vehicles catch fire more often
MYTH

"Electric vehicles catch fire more often"

REALITY

The opposite is true. Gas cars catch fire 20-60x more often than Tesla vehicles according to NTSB data. No fuel tank, no hot engine, no exhaust system. EVs are statistically much safer.

EV batteries wear out quickly
MYTH

"EV batteries wear out quickly"

REALITY

Tesla batteries retain around 88% capacity on average after 200,000 miles. Many outlast the car itself. They're warrantied for 8 years with 100,000-150,000 miles (model dependent).

EVs are worse for the environment because of the battery
MYTH

"EVs are worse for the environment because of the battery"

REALITY

Over its lifetime, a Tesla emits far less CO₂ than a gas car—even including battery production. The environmental benefit only grows as grids get cleaner.

Read More
EVs are boring to drive
MYTH

"EVs are boring to drive"

REALITY

Instant torque, one-pedal driving, and silent acceleration make every trip engaging and fun. Many owners say they're the most enjoyable cars they've ever driven.

You'll get electrocuted if it rains
MYTH

"You'll get electrocuted if it rains"

REALITY

Teslas are sealed tighter than most smartphones. You can safely drive, charge, or wash your car in the rain. Use Car Wash Mode to disable wipers and locks. You could even park in a thunderstorm—the lightning would be more worried about you.

EVs stop working in winter
MYTH

"EVs stop working in winter"

REALITY

Teslas perform great in snow—instant torque means perfect traction. Cabin heating is electric and instant, and preconditioning keeps the battery warm before you step outside. Range may decrease 10-30% in extreme cold, but features mitigate this.
