Not at all. You charge these things at your house overnight, every night. The range is over 215 miles. The charging stations in your city are for people from other cities visiting in their Tesla.

Maybe I should have put in the qualifier "if you drive a whole lot for work" as I was thinking about how often I have to go all around the Metroplex to pick up and return gear in a single day. Driving from Dallas to McKinney to Forth Worth and back adds up pretty damn fast.

Also, if you live in an apartment complex it may be an issue b/c not all of them have access for charging so it may still be a relevant question.

Heard that.

The charging stations get you to 80% in 15-20 minutes, which isn't bad but I can see it being annoying if you have to use them on the reg.

For my lifestyle I'd only use them on longer trips/vacations. Otherwise my time spent refueling my car will go down to near 0. Going to be pretty sweet never having to think about it!!!

Actually no, I looked into leasing one at my vacation home and there is a company called evercharge that will setup a charger for you and its pretty inexpensive but in the end the leases were pretty terrible on the tesla, the p100d is over $2000/mo which is the same lease you get on a $300k car for a $150k car.
