I dunno. I want a Tesla as my next car and a lot of folks have said similarly. I am tired of getting gas every 2 weeks or so and I am really tired of oil changes. If I can charge at home and at work that seems to be just right. I'd probably still have a bigger gas family hauler but day to day a Tesla.

Unless your commute is >50 miles one-way, there's no need to charge at work unless its incredibly convenient. I use a standard wall plug to charge my Model 3 at home and still I'm back to full in under 12 hours after work. If you want to bring that down to 2 hours, you can get an RV plug or a home EV charger installed.
If there's always an open charger at work, go for it, but I think people still overestimate how often they'll need to charge.
