Other manufacturers can use Tesla chargers now, and many times those are the best options on long road trips. This doesn’t really change anything. I can also choose to charge my Tesla at non-Tesla chargers and accomplish the same goal.

Elon may be an idiot but he isn’t the only person at Tesla. It’s not like he’s gone to the factory and hand built every vehicle. They have their flaws, but the cars themselves are still totally fine.

If I’m looking for another EV with decent range, then options are pretty slim.
