Everyone gets a 240V connection, usually about 30 amps, and charges at 7kW at home, adding 224 miles in 8 hours.
If you want to go more than the 200-300 miles your car goes, you stop for 15-30 mins to rest while you rapid charge.
To quote the page you linked to:
The Tesla Supercharger is the fastest charging option when you're away from home, allowing you to charge your car up to 200 miles in 15 minutes.

One thing I believe though is that when cars with a 1k KM range hit the market it's going to make cars with a lower range less expensive and that will make everything you say easier for people to swallow.
