Agreed, but I think it’s going to be a mess in the next couple years when ford starts shipping the lightning. There are going to be way more trucks than chargers to handle them for long trips. Practically that doesn’t make a difference (and I’d probably take my gas vehicle for long road trips).
And slow charging works at the vacation spot, unless you’re at a condo / parking garage without power outlets. It’s just enough inconvenience (with fairly significant consequences if you run out of charge [half day of vacation waster]) to make it less practical right now as a single car solution.

I only hope ford starts investing in charge networks. This won't really affect tesla's, but it will put a lot of strain on these smaller networks. > And slow charging works at the vacation spot, unless you’re at a condo / parking garage without power outlets.

Personally, I plan my lodging around EV chargers. Though, I'd be the first to say that sometimes there's not enough chargers for everyone that wants to charge. My hope is that as time goes on, we'll see bigger expansion of L2 chargers. It's something that I believe more EV adoption will drive more L2 deployment.
