That article is moot if you rent a Tesla. I've done a 2000 km (1200 mi) roadtrip with a rented Tesla, and never actually charged at any hotel. You just navigate to your destination, and every now and then, the navigation tells you to stop at a supercharger.
However, the point of the article may still stand if you do not drive a Tesla.
- listenallyall 3y agoAnd how long were each of these stops? How frequently did you stop? Were they never occupied? It's one thing to take a leisurely road trip with lots of time for sightseeing, no rush to get anywhere. It's a whole different experience, for example, when you land in some city to go to someone's wedding or a national park and you're stuck at a charger for an hour or more and end up late to your destination, or maybe you make it initially but don't have the range to get back. There are a million potential problems and just because YOU once did a long chill road trip where you weren't watching the clock or had to be somewhere at a specific time, hardly makes the problem "moot." And when the rental car springs a surprise EV on you, you don't get to pick the brand.
