I have a model y and so far it’s a fantastic car (no matter what opinions the CEO has). I live in the northeast US, so there are lots of superchargers around. I mostly charge at home, but I can also charge at work.

My state is one of those currently planning to end sale of new ICE cars in 2035

At one point I hadn’t charged my car and was deciding whether to goto my sort of local Ikea, and discovered there were three supercharger stations on the way.

This summer I did my first real road trip, 1,200+ miles over a week, and the supercharger network made it easy. Part of it was in upstate NY, away from any metro areas so the chargers were much farther apart, but still, the trip planning software made it easy. If you can charge at home and live near a city, the infrastructure seems to be there now
