But that is the beauty of the Tesla charging model. You can look at the
supercharger map AND the Plugshare map, because in a Tesla, you use them
both. And all the free and cheap level one and two stations as well. You
are not doing this in any other non-Tesla car. So what that really means
is that you can have one solution for both short and long range driving,
because most of us are not doing long distance on trains or busses. And
if you believe (like me) in the KISS principle, one solution is always
better than two.
And being a long way from a supercharger is the point. When you have
250+ miles of effective range...they can be a long way apart, and you
can still get far way from cities and freeways. Coast to coast and
border to border...easy peasy!

It all depends on where you live and drive, Tim. Tesla's supercharger
map<https://www.tesla.com/supercharger> shows that they are all
concentrated in the big cities, on the east and west coast, and along
the major highways between them. If that's where you live and drive, great!
But large areas of the midwest (like where I live) are a long way from
the nearest supercharger. Especially for people who don't drive long
distances, there isn't any appeal for a long-range EV or supercharging.
