At the moment, I think Tesla’s real advantage is not in software or design or manufacturing but in its Super Charger network.

I love my 2017 MX, but I find myself a little disappointed in the actual range (200 miles for my 75D). And we could use a little more cargo space for our daughter’s wheelchair.

I’ve looked at getting another used MX; perhaps a 2019-2020 LR or LR with five seat configuration.

I’ve thought about a Y LR, but not sure the wheelchair would fit in the cargo area and a bit of a downgrade without the Falcon Wing Doors, auto present feature, and adjustable suspension. (Have come to rely on those features.)

I’ve looked at perhaps an ID.4. A bit better range and a bit more wheelchair friendly. What really caught my eyes was the “free” charging available through Electrify America. Unfortunately, there is only one EA Charger in my state and it isn’t exactly close. And only 1 EA charger on the route to our vacation spot. I can use EVGo but that isn’t free and they are not exactly plentiful either. There is a ZEF system around here but that system is EXPENSIVE.

On the other had, there about 8 Super Chargers in the metro area. I know of one more under construction. Just learned that there is a new Super Charger along the route to our vacation spot now open. It is about 20-30 minutes off of our route but it is great to know it is there.

Even though it is not free, the Super Charger network is extensive. And it will probably keep me in the Tesla camp despite tax credits, Elon’s antics, and offers of free charging.
