I think the piece is quite misleading. Among other things, this is the second paragraph,
“It’s barely viable,” he said standing near a row of superchargers, which for Tesla owners are the equivalent of gas pumps to quickly recharge their battery-powered vehicles. “When I arrived there was just one spot left.”
There is no explanation of the role of home charging, which leaves the impression that on a ~weekly basis you're going to spend 30-40 minutes while plugged in at a SuperCharging, and that may be after waiting on line for someone else to do this first. Along this same theme, later in the article, the writer describes free use of the SuperChargers for life as part of Tesla's product where my understanding has always been free long distance travel via the SuperChargers for life.
If this were an isolated incident, I'd be more hesitant to call this a hit piece, but the WSJ (and other publications owned by Rupert Murdoch) has quite a track record of hit pieces on Tesla.
