“all put the charging rate at 2-6 miles per hour of charging”

...on a common wall outlet. Being able to plug in anywhere is an option of course, but that won’t be the usual course of action of most people who buy a Tesla.

Robots who are up 24/7 may have a problem with the hours involved in overnight charging, but no one else should.

And even in Michigan, where ICE cars at least used to be built in large quantities, have Tesla Superchargers in (for example) Meijer filling stations, and those will put up to 200 miles into the car in 15 minutes.

And yeah, you are using tropes, and yeah, you are a troll.

I'm pretty sure our whole conversation started with people plugging into their regular garage outlets overnight.

Again, it depends on how long overnight is, and how long someone's commute/other driving is. The average driver will have to fill up at a non-home charging station every so often, or pay to install bigger chargers at home.

Lucky you. There's about 1500 Supercharger stations in these US, and about 20% of those are in CA. There's gonna be very few Teslas driving around that have a supercharger on the local grocery corner. Even in a big city, there might only be 3-4 locations 10s of miles apart and serving millions of people. If anything in this conversation is a trope, it's the ease of supercharging a Tesla.
