I bought a Grizzl-E (didn't get charged an extra $35 for the cable organizer) when I got mine back in mid-2021 and have had no issues. I guess if you wanted to go with another brand the Juicebox branded chargers are pretty popular and feature rich. Otherwise, if you are set on getting a Tesla branded charger your best bet is to stalk the Tesla Facebook groups for people who are moving or otherwise, but those opportunities are few and far between.
Magic 8 ball says "don't count on it"
A Prius gets 56MPG, approx 1.8gallons for 100 miles.
The rate for electricity in CA is $0.26 per KWH. = $6.50 for 100 miles.
Alameda Street Supercharger is $0.56 per to charge (8am to 7pm). = $14.00
A Prius gets 56MPG. The average cost at Alameda is $5/gal = $9.00
So a Model 3 beating a Prius in cost per mile depends on how much they need to use the supercharger. In my area, I see all the Tesla chargers full when I drive by. So people must "need" it
EV in San Diego makes no sense from a equivalent mpg perspective.
And the bolt is horrendous
Yes, i guess so are just so above all of us, huh, not caring what kind of car you drive at all. Good for you.
The bolt is fugly
The standard range model 3 will only receive a $3750 federal credit, bringing it to around $38-39k

EVs are for 1) homeowners with garage/driveway 2) have solar panels 3) have home charger 4) optional: have Tesla Powerwall (truly off grid!) . If you don't have 1-3, chances are EV won't be optimal for you. Not saying you can't have EV it will be just not as efficient and fully satisfied owner. I still have my 2020 Chevy Bolt and love the Tesla (autopilot for the win!). The Bolt I just drive and don't care perfect daily driver car, the Tesla I have to be careful and baby a bit more (ie. fragile windshield, glass roof, induction rims get's curb rashed easily). The Bolt I can charge 100% and get 300 miles, my Tesla have to charge to 80% and get 295 miles, haven't charged to 100% to get 330 miles. I installed a Chargepoint 60A charger and can fully charge my Tesla in 3 hours (48A) the Bolt only is 30A and takes longer 4-5 hours. I can have 300 mile range every morning ready at my disposal.
LR models already have 300-400 miles of range when you leave the house with a full charge.
One 10-15 minute supercharger stop- which you'd make in a gas car anyway to use the restroom/get drinks/gas/etc can get you to around 500 miles of total range on the day.
If you DO plan to drive >500 miles in a single day, which is pretty rare, a second such stop gets you up to 600-700 miles of range for the day.
Then you just stay at one of the myriad hotels or air bnbs with L2 charging and by morning you're "full" again.
So the "bad for road trips" thing is really only true for non-Tesla EVs without access to a good fast charging network... or for cannonball run types who want to go 1000 miles in a day and pee in a jar while doing it...
I probably could've clarified that I've been trying to talk them into a non-Tesla EV. Even if I could sell them on a fully EV, they wouldn't buy a Tesla. It wouldn't jibe with their relatively self-abnegative sensitivities.

I think if you add "renters who also have access to home charging" I can agree with 1/3, but not 2 or 4.
I mean, those do help your payback on solar/PW get shorter.... but average electricity pricing in the US is still only 16.8c kw/h from most recent data.
So for example an 80% fill on your Tesla as you say you do would be 16.8x(75*.8)= $10.08 for 295 miles of range.
You'd need a gas car, using national average price of gas at $3.58/gal, that got about 105 miles per gallon to break even with an EV.... and I'm sure there's some people who live someplace that somehow, weridly, electric is MUCH more than average while gas is lower than average... but there'll be just as many in the opposite situation (hence the whole average thing)--- for example I was paying 2.29 cents per kwh to charge my Tesla most of the time I've owned it thanks to a friendly ToU for EVs plan....meaning I'd need a car that got something like >500 mpg to break even on a gas car vs electric.
Fair enough- and I agree I wouldn't recommend a non-Tesla BEV for someone who takes a lot of road trips--- the charging networks of other brands remain pretty awful overall--- and while Tesla IS starting to open their network to other vehicles, it's a relatively small % of stations so far, and most other brands charge rates are still pretty poor doing this,

Yes, I really think condo and apartment livers can't take much advantage of EV convenience. They can get free electricity at places, but DCFC costs can often be the same per traveled mile as gasoline.
I saw a dealer list an older Bolt for $12k that had 70k miles but just got the new battery, with the $4k used tax credit being available for those who quality. $8k would have been a steal, but I don't quality, and wouldn't know what to do with that vehicle, even at $12k. Recent EVs in the $10k range, especially if they don't have huge loss of battery capacity, will likely be very sought after for many years yet, even if those people lived in a multi-family complexes.

Also Slickdeals: Let's go to Mcdonald's, they have free 5 piece McNuggets on a Dollar purchase.
