    I’m their prime demographic, currently car shopping to replace my wrecked Benz, and was leaning towards a Model 3 up until reading this headline lol. I guess I could still charge at home or if the network fails it could be purchased by another company?

    Or I just avoid stressing about it altogether and get a normal car

      I bought a plug-in hybrid last week. I’d have gotten a pure EV, but I take road trips sometimes, and I don’t want to rely on the patchy changing network in the US.

      Another factor is that I rent a house, and there’s already one EV to charge at 120V. The wiring can’t really handle a second charger, and I didn’t want to always be fighting over it.
