The best thing about a Tesla is access to the Tesla network of chargers.
Here in the UK we’ve got about 1,000,000,000 separate charger networks. They all use the same set of plugs, so you can always find one compatible with your car’s socket but the chances are it will be operated by a different company. often quite local. For instance if I drive down to Dorset, 130 miles, suddenly all the chargers are operated by MerSea, a Norwegian company. I need like 8 different cards or apps to go on long distance journeys. The Tesla network, by comparison, is everywhere, and Tesla drivers can access the other networks too.
There was a rumour some months ago that Tesla were going to open their network for everyone’s use, but I don’t think it ever came about.
