I would buy one today if I had somewhere to reliably and conveniently charge it.

I live in an apartment complex without charging infrastructure. Don’t want to drive to nearby charging station and wait/coordinate rides to and from. My place of work doesn’t have enough charging infrastructure to support demand.

We’ve just been plugging our Tesla into a standard 110v outlet. It’s working fine since my wife mainly just drives it around locally. (We are getting a L2 charger soon)

Do you live in an apartment complex? What's the home parking situation like?

we have a single family home. but the garage opening is too narrow for a Model Y, so we park in the driveway with the charging cable run under the garage door.

It’s… fine? Not perfect but also liveable for now.

We used to live in a condo and there were plenty of 110v outlets in the shared garage space we probably could have used.

The car drives much better than any gas car i’ve ever owned and we never go to the gas station. I wouldn’t go back to an ICE if I could avoid it.
