The mock ups only had a couple of chargers evident. Think that was the issue people alluded to. park your car in 1 of 3 spots and go have a cafe = nbd for 30 min. but it you are #4, your stuck for 60 min, increasing your trip time ~20% vs regular car (etc). If you are #7 you're there for 90 min. But honestly, are there going to be 7x $100k teslas in Barstow? I doubt all at the same time...

Bigger problem is you can't take the PCH with your sweet car =/

You can't also drive the PCH at 75mph... trade-offs :)

(and that's probably even a bit slow for I5)
