Happened to me as well.

My light turned green and I started moving.

Suddenly my Tesla braked and stopped.

Next thing I see is a car running its red light going across mine.

Thing is you still have to:

A.) Find a supercharger on your route

B.) Wait to charge (to use the equipment and also wait to charge)

None of this is currently as convenient as finding a gas station on a long road trip. It also limits your routes since you have to find a supercharger on your route.
I see these as an issue if:

1) Your EV is not a Tesla

2) You are in a really remote location

Where I am in the Northeast, I have made several interstate trips and have always had superchargers available in the interstate as well as away from highways. I never had to actively seek them out.

Tesla is also very good at placement of their superchargers (rest area stops on the highways, which you would be taking for long distance trips anyway) or shopping malls and transportation hubs.

Your points are very valid ofr Non Tesla EVs, which is why I steer people away from non Tesla EVs if they tell me they are planning on using it frequently for long distance trips.

I pay about $1200 per year which covers BOTH my Teslas (3 and Y) and I dont even have Tesla insurance which can be even cheaper.

Insurance can very by a lot depending on driver record though so I don't usually like to compare insurance across people.

However, people try to scare others saying you will pay insane amount to cover Tesla, which is yet another scare tactic and not grounded in truth.

My Tesla insurance is in fact lower than what I was paying to cover my Hybrid.

Back in my day, we had something called eyeballs, and we were taught, if you lacked the common sense, to see if someone was going to run the red light and hit you.

No one uses their eyeballs anymore. It's a shame. I loved the eighties.

Maybe stop paying for that war in Europe with money we need to be using on Americans…

Maybe stop giving tax breaks to the ultra wealthy and we could use that money for "Americans"

Not much of an issue if FSD is not used.

FSD is still in beta mode and I would not use it especially at night.

Also, FSD is an optional add on and I highly advise people NOT to add it on., especially given its price.

Is this the beginning of Elon's plan to make EV affordable to the masses? Or is it the plan to kill off competitors who can't compete on price?

I have a reservation Fisker Ocean Ultra and a Rivian R1S, but chose to get Tesla Model Y is the CHARGING NETWORKS and service centers. I might cancel either of them depends on the after sales service.

PS - went to get a 2022 Toyota Venza but the dealership added $7500 markup. Also tried using Costco auto program and they denied it. Dealerships are scumbags.

No one is getting full coverage on a Tesla for $1k yr. They are completely full of it.
