I have recently completed my first (in Calif) cross-country tesla trip. Had no problem with supercharging sites. Always a slot available...but often only 1 or 2. Wondering what that same trip will be like after 300,000 model 3;s hit the streets!

I don't know why people keep assuming that. Most people who buy new $35,0000-50,000 cars in the U.S. have houses with garages. How many new BMWs do you see at apartments? Perhaps this is true in a few cities, but not in most of the country.For model 3 owners, less likely to have home charging, supercharging will be the primary charging method for many

Maybe write to Elon - he probably hasn't thought of this issue.I have recently completed my first (in Calif) cross-country tesla trip. Had no problem with supercharging sites.

Every apartment complex near me is ~50% BMWs in the parking lot. The largest BMW factory in the world being just down the road probably has something to do with that though....I don't know why people keep assuming that.

Don't forget a large number of Model S owners previously were buyers of cars in that price range. Most had never bought a car nearlynthat expensive before.
Not sure about that. I have a friend with an early reservation and he is convinced they are grandfathered in. (?)Aren't all the Model 3s paying for supercharging anyway?<snip>

Shar, it is also a concern of mine. However, trying to save a buck by over-using the free supercharging near their own homes will not be an issue for Model 3 owners, since they will have to pay to use it, likely a bit more than the raw cost of electricity. If I did not own a home or live in an apartment with a dedicated (to me) charging station, I would simply buy a hybrid. Also, the number of superchargers is about to be doubled this year.
