My biggest concern with any BEV is charging network. I don't know about the LA area but I checked to see if the vaunted "Electrify America" had any chargers near me and there was nothing closer than about 40 miles and I live in a city. IF and when Tesla opens its charging network to others I might consider a non Tesla BEV (as opposed to my PHEV).
40 miles...yikes. It'll be nerve racking if the closest stations all end up being dozens of miles away during a longer drive. Curious to see how Superchargers going public will affect people buying EV's in general. Hopefully intrigue people to buy something other than a Tesla. A few years back it was a rare sight to see a Model 3 or any BEV. I see 3's more than I see Prius' at this point. Curious to see how things will change in the years to come.
