So I could see a long trip over the (cold) holidays requiring an extra fast-charging stop that would be annoying.

What are the other headaches you're finding?

I also bought used, taking advantage of the depreciation / lower resale value. There's certainly an early adopter tax on buying new EVs in the U.S. right now!

I don't get the appeal of hybrids - twice as much complexity seems like the combining the problems/maintenance of an EV added to a gas car.

I will say I had a non-tesla EV with a small battery and it was not comparable to a tesla. Tesla puts in enough battery to preclude charging most of the time. The supercharger network makes the remaining charging easy enough for everyone in the family to do it without being an engineer.

Hopefully their leadership will continue to push them towards the best long-term end result, which presumably is a gradual but increasing transition to selling electric vehicles instead of internal combustion engines. With buyers in the United States both politically and financially discouraged from buying electric in the short term, it's going to be a more difficult transition.

Currently, it's still expensive to research, develop, and produce electric vehicles, and sell them competitively in the United States.

Range, charging speed, and price parity to internal combustion cars are challenges that they need to overcome, that are likely harder now compared to just a few months ago.
