Removing charging at home from the equation turns perhaps the greatest pro for owning an EV into its biggest con. With home charging, you are essentially eliminating all gas station visits required for an ICE car. With Supercharger charging only, you are essentially increasing gas station visit frequency and significantly increasing duration spent there each visit. Charging at home is such a huge plus I would do it even if it costs the same as gas.
I love EVs and specifically all the things Tesla has to offer, but if I could only Supercharge the car, I would probably not want to own one until maybe someday when it only takes 5 minutes to charge up at a Supercharger.
If you are mentally prepared for the rigors of Supercharging only, by all means go for it. But I know I would not want to deal with it unless maybe the Supercharger station is right next door.
