The drama of range anxiety and charging time is not real for most of people who drive about 60 miles aday and have a garage in their home . I have had teslas in thel last 3 years and charge that thing every evening when I get home, with 110 volts! Combined with charging my i8 and tesla my electric bill jumped around $60 a month wich is a fraction of my previous gas expenses, my home daily charge is good for my daily drive. I never ended up to go to super charger unless im traveling, which i do a lot. My trips are usually about 400 miles round trips, car had mid 300 miles range and the car tells you where and when to charge to spend least amount of time while charging.
On a 250v supercharger which is getting more and more common, charging to get you to your destination is not s painful task at all.
And the best part is: i have not seen a mechanic or going to a dealer in the last 3 years (Except for i8!)
People have to leave for a couple of weeks with s electric car to see how convenient and fun they are.

Tesla’s/EVs in general are designed for people with garages (or rather, those that have a garage they can actually pull a vic into!). The public/private charging network is not there yet for the tens of millions of owners that do not have access to their own personal garage/charging space. Just rented a Model 3 from Hertz - idiots gave it to me at 71% charge (said to bring it back at that level…), and driving around the Puget Sound for 4 days, from SeaTac to Vancouver BC, was a challenge- one I had never before experienced. Didn’t like wasting my time for 30 min in a Walmart while it charged.
We just ain’t there. EV’s not ready yet for those without personal charging sports. Will hydrogen help? Hope so…
