I don't think this is true, at least for Tesla, which has a very mature and wide range of chargers almost everywhere. AFAIK, Rivian can also use Tesla chargers now.

I live on the eastern coast of the US. I travel for work up and down the eastern seaboard. Sometimes I ride with a coworker who drives his Tesla. The experience turned me off of ever buying one.

Yes, chargers are everywhere here. But making multiple “stops” to charge that you wouldn’t otherwise make definitely isn’t saving any time.

The seats are horrid.

Watching the windshield wipers freak out over nothing is funny.

“Full self driving” is a bit of a joke.

It is mature enough to barely support the current level of adoption which is between 1 and 2% of cars on the road.

Also charging at home is a significant part of EV infrastructure which is also sorely lacking in the US
