    It’s double the recommendation in a best case scenario. It’s 4x as long a wait if you have to get in a queue.

    I’ve never had a rest stop that takes more than 10 minutes and that’s if I have my toddler and wife.

    If you want to stay forcing some drive time limits on people go ahead and try. But saying YOU get tired so everyone else must only be able to handle 2 hours at a time is insane. I’d be far far more tired showing up to my destination after an extra hour or two off driving and probably getting dark at that time.

      I call BS. I have given diaper changes to my kids on the road that take more than 10 minutes. I won’t even mention lunch breaks, dinner breaks mid morning snack breaks, pooping breaks etc.

        Diaper changes are a 45 second affair, 3 minutes if its a mess, and we’re past that personally. We’re in and out for toilets and have our own food packed. I commonly don’t need to use the rest room and the wife will take care of everything while I hang out at the pump and pick her up. 5 minutes.

        Not everyone lolygags around

      true. resting each 2-4 hours is nonsense. a solid 8 hour drive and u get to sleep at ur own regular bed time beats them all. Evs need double the mileage (thus double the battery capacity and charging speed) so they could achieve this. other than that, it is just a car for vegans.
