Just like… you know… filling a normal car up with gas. Take a piss, grab some jerkey, have a smoke if that’s your thing, go on reddit for a minute, then keep driving.

It’s not hard. The paradigm is barely changing. I genuinely don’t get how people fail to understand that.

I get the hesitation though. You see gas stations everywhere, if you don't know what you're looking for you don't see charger stations. My car was the last gas thing I had, mower, trimmer, I already had solar panels from a Illinois solar program. I love taking friends on trips with it and then seeing that it's not scary. I have run into broken chargers twice. Once from vandalism but thankfully it still worked for me as I registered my car so it automatically uses my account to charge when plugged in. The other was a software issue that they had to send someone out to hard reset. Reminds me I told them it would be a cool idea to have registered/trained people that get free charging credits for fixing ones they come across.

As nifty as repair bounties would be, I think there’s approximately zero chance of that happening, simply because of the liability implications. Tesla’s staff counsel would categorically refuse to sign off on that. High-voltage electrics are a far cry from delivering someone’s takeout orders.
