Have owned a Tesla for a year or so. Longest single trip has been 1400 miles.
I've never seen a broken supercharger. I've always been able to find a charger, even if it's a non-Tesla one. That 1400mi used superchargers the whole way and none required interacting with touch screens or apps.
Third party chargers are spottier. The Tesla can navigate to them but many require signing up, apps, etc. Some handle PAYG with a card like a normal fuel pump but they're still rare IME.
But if you're considering buying one, you're probably not driving it in the same way as a rental. We do 40-50mi a day and it just charges at home overnight at a cheap rate. Even catches some solar in summer. It's more convenient than having to do a fuel shop every couple of weeks and about a fifth the price (UK). It's also the most powerful car we've ever owned. You've driven one, you know. Even the single motor Teslas accelerate like supercars.
