"Charging is very convenient - just plug it in when you get home..."

What about the long road trips with kids? In the U.S. some of us travel long distances. After 4 hours of driving the three kiddos in the back, all under the age of 10 and strapped in their car seats, are getting restless. You pull in to the only Tesla charging station you can find in an unfamiliar town. It is 20 deg F (-7 C) outside. You tell the children to sit quietly, while going nowhere for 20 minutes. The charging station is in a sketchy part of town and you can't wait to get the h*ll out of there.

We drive 800 miles to the beach once a year. How? We take one of our gas-powered cars. If we didn't have a gas-powered car we'd rent one. A nice minivan.

After 4 hours our kids all needed to go potty, and I needed a break from the whining and bickering. I doubt we ever got through a rest stop in less than a half hour.
