Doesn’t mean shite, buddy lives close to Nashville where they have a store and service center. He hit a deer in his 3 and will be without his car for a minimum of 6 months.

That and long trip viability makes it a hard no for me to buy one.

I'm not saying 6 months isn't an extended amount of time. He would have been without his car for a few weeks for sure. The infrastructure is definitely young in these parts though.

As far as long trip viability you have a much larger network than you realize. When people say there are only so many super chargers they have not looked at an EV charging map. It might not help out in the sticks but it is very little effort to make it across the country.

Not if I lived in the south. Infrastructure just isn't where it needs to be yet.

I wouldn't argue against a repair time like the poster I am replying to has stated. Charging is not a problem at all.
