Even with a 10-15 mins recharge? A couple of times a year I do make a 500 mile journey and if there wasn’t a sea in the way I would happily do it all in one sitting. But as a teeny tiny compromise I wouldn’t mind stopping to charge once or twice along the way! It would add about 20 mins to the journey sure, but seems like it’s worth the benefits to me.

I don’t go places where recharging is an option.

The long trips are ones where I’d be turning one 5 minute stop into at least an hour of stops per day. That’s not a small compromise any more.

You drive a full day with only one five minute stop? I think taking regular breaks is recommended when driving for long periods.

Absolutely. A stop is lighting time on fire. It turns a tedious experience into a completely unbearable one.

Yet! It will be an option everywhere eventually…

I don’t think you would get to the charger in 20 minutes. Assume there will be line.

I’d think that too, but I had my first ever ride in a Tesla recently and the way the supercharger network is handled seems pretty clean. Far from a Tesla fan boy but way the car books you a slot and then charges you a fortune if you overstay meant that we had no problem getting a space. Once charging becomes the norm it will be fine.
