The problem is that what you actually do a roadtrip, (and you're not charging at home on a normal "commute" day) is sit on your ass and do absolutely nothing for 45 to 90 minutes at a gas station in the middle of fucking nowhere, hoping no hick "jeds" see you hanging out at the Tesla charger and approach you to tell you that "yuu got a perddy mouf".
Or just.... rent a car?
If an EV supports all of my travel/commuting needs except one or two road trips per year, I'd rather just spend $65/day renting an ICE. The idea that you need to solve every problem with one privately-owned vehicle is part of why there's so many idiots using F-150s for daily commutes.
That's not unreasonable but I'm in a mood today so Get the heck out of here with your REASONABLE ARGUMENTS! :)
