If you cry bloody hell against having a regulated market, don't whine when there is no way to protect you from people taking advantage of it. This is where a deregulated market goes to.
Then you have a small life. That's fine, but I'm the type of person that likes to keep my options open. I like to feel free to go wherever I want at any time, without a bunch of planning. Heck, I might drive 500 miles tomorrow.
1) The difference in the 100 cars behind you, all pissed off on the other hand...
2) Because of !) I don't care
3) I don't have that much time
4) I don't care, I actually like the engine sound. LOVE open muffler sound.
5) Holy fuck, don't you do anything else?
Tesla's are way out of my budget, so super chargers don't really matter to me. I've never stayed at a hotel with charging stations, maybe you don't stay at Motel 8's like I do. Furthermore, I would be uncomfortable arriving at 20% because there are many reasons why I may need to go back immediately or respond to an emergency; like when my kid had a fever of 104 and I had to go driving around looking for a hospital that would accept me (it was a lot of driving). Or I may even need to go home at that point, so no I wouldn't like that at all. I think it is a very risky situation in fact.
Where I'm going to have trouble is if they expect me to enter my own order instead of telling it to a live human. They don't pay me so why should I work for them?
More goods is more money coming into the factory, is more money to pay the workers.
Sure it's more money that 'could' be paid to workers but that hasn't been happening at all. Common worker's salaries have not been increasing along with corporate productivity, nowhere close.
I agreed with you until "Stigmatize parenthood, make children unfashionable as something only poor people do". Idiocracy shows us what a huge mistake this would be.
If you're going to split hairs, then let's see some stats actually referenced for people who need a vehicle to travel more than 310 miles in one trip during the time owning the vehicle.
There will always be people who don't mind working out strategies on how far and where they drive. It doesn't make it better on the people who don't want to have to worry about that.
It's a thirty minute break in a place where you have NO CHOICE to stop at. Big difference. People who stop for a rest usually like to be able to pick where that place is.
You're arguing that this is an issue, when 99.999% of people will never have this problem.
I pay house insurance in case my house burns down, even though 99.999% of people never have this problem. You are saying it is a bad idea to buy insurance?
I don't care what the range is, until there are charging stations everywhere and a full charge happens in 10 minutes I would have range anxiety. You're totally going to say I'm being irrational, and I know I am, but it is what it is. I am just as bad with my phone,if it goes past 50% I have to plug it in.

Keys aren't allowed in my environment, too easy for private keys to get out never to be changed.
As someone who needs to sign in with a password to a server possibly a hundred times a day, this sounds like it could possibly be hell.

Cord runs across the sidewalk
You know that's not only illegal, but more importantly a dick move, right? Someone trips over that and you're sued.

Yes because people love you when you drive 20MPH on a single lane highway. No stress in that at all.
Tesla would be fine for almost anyone's only car
So say they wanted to go on a trip across Canada driving 12 hours a day and didn't want to plan where to fill up, how exactly would that work?
I don't know where you get this from. I just want it to be more like the technology they would like to replace.
I wouldn't mine being able to fill up at home, but that doesn't really have anything to do with what I am saying.

As I said in another post, there are currently zero supercharger stations in my province. I have yet to see one at all, even in my trips to the US.

Oh come now, there are still plenty that vote for their own self-interest instead of greater good. All is not lost!

That's fine, obviously your buddy doesn't go on long road trips.
Usually electrical outlets on a wall by parking lots only cycle on tem minutes only hour or so. At least that is what they do for block heaters here.
I live in a small city in Canada. I've seen a charging station once in my life, and it was a place that I rarely go. I have never seen a supercharger.

I've done 24-hour trips with three drivers myself. Two sleep/relax while one drives.
