I can't believe that I'm having this stupid conversation. If you call up the supercharge.info web site and set the range circles to 30 miles, you will see that all of Southern California is within 60 miles of a Supercharger. Furthermore, this doesn't matter because Teslas have a range of 250+ miles. Furthermore, Superchargers are only needed for long distance travel, not daily charging which most people do at home or work.
OMG! I didn't charge the car because aunt Matilda was here all last week and she talks so much I forgot to plug it in and I even tripped over the charge cord which is another danger of electricity and then when I got home I accidentally put both hands in the meat grinder and needed to go to the hospital but I couldn't dial the phone so I went out to my car and it was plugged in but since both arms were bloody stumps I couldn't unplug it but fortunately my neighborhood watch group "Make America White Again" came by with AK-47s provided by Putin and they were able to use about 250 rounds of ammo to disconnect the plug and finally drive me to the hospital but the car only had enough charge to make it to the freeway so it stalled on the freeway and I got run over by a big truck at least finally an ambulance came and took me to the hospital.
I have 182000 miles on my Land Rover. I only use it to haul trash to the dump. I drive the Tesla for all other trips (including long vacation drives) since it costs peanuts to operate.
ARCNET Token ring was a ripoff of ARCNET which was the first token based network protocol. Widely adopted in the 80s. IBM needed to have their own proprietary network to sell to corporate types so they "invented" Token Ring.
There is a fairly high failure to deliver rate for Kickstarter and Indiegogo projects. I've been burned by a few. Others are late and/or not as promised. You are taking a big risk on inexperienced people who don't have a lot of business skills. Best to not invest and wait for an actual product to ship or consider your "purchase" as likely to fail.
I didn't say maintenance free. I did say that there are 2500 off shore turbines which seem to have solved the maintenance problem. You could google it if you want more details to brush up your rusty skills.
It's a good thing that you're a former marine engineer since you're obviously clueless about offshore wind farms. There are about 2500 off shore wind turbines. List here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... They seem to have solved your imaginary problems.

You've heard of "a New York minute"?
Well, this is a New York Hour.
Here is a map of Superchargers:
supercharge.info
Each Supercharger site has between 4 and 20 charging stations. Not likely that they would all be broken (or occupied).

Quid ergo est: Electric cars will never work
In an emergency, don't you think he could unplug it?
I've been to Oregon and waited for the slackers to fuel my car. Faster to do it myself.
He doesn't live in his car. Do you?
Lots of charging infrastructure wherever you live.

Because you just can't imagine how an apartment could possibly install an outlet for you to charge
Not a problem. I've taken many multi thousand mile trips in my Tesla. Superchargers all the way.
Tesla's range is 250+ miles. Superchargers are a maximum of 150 miles apart. Not a problem.
There are 16 Superchargers a hours drive from NYC. If you had a Tesla you would know exactly where they are since they are all in the nav system.
It's not that difficult. In California l pay an annual fee which is equal to the amount of gas tax.
Good to hear.
Whatever it takes, make it work. It will be worth it.
Whatever you do, don't take a Tesla test drive. Just don't.
It will make you hate your slow, noisy, polluting M3.

Thanksgiving has nothing to do with Jesus (thankfully).
Thanksgiving is for discussing politics with your red neck relatives.
