I often drive to Denver or Galveston several times a year. 600 and 500 miles. So if the initial charge holds 300 miles, I would need probably 2 20 minute stop for Galveston and 2 30 minute stops for Denver (if I could find super charging stations on the way to Denver). Given that I often stop for far longer than that, far more often, just to stretch my legs, I could easily work around the Model 3's charging requirements.

However, the supercharger spots aren't everywhere like a gas station. You have to plan your trips to stop exactly at a supercharger. I drove several hundred miles away to North Carolina without any planning, knowing that any ol' gas station could fill me up. But there are only 7 superchargers in North Carolina, and only 5 superchargers on my projected path (including the superchargers from the other states I passed through on the highways) I'm still leaning towards the Volt, which would be effectively electric but the gas-generator is a good idea IMO. The one time a year I drive outside of my city will be gas-based, but that's a lot better than a 100% gas vehicle. I will say that I stop for 30+ minutes to sitdown and eat with my family... no where close to a supercharger. We have a few restaurants that we as a family meet up at on these long trips as a family tradition. I dunno about the excuse "Hey guys, lets meet somewhere else because the current location isn't close to a Supercharger, and my 90k+ Car demands that we stop there for our trip". Plenty of gas stations in these random small towns across America, but still very few superchargers.
