I won't be charging at Circle K

Not sure how it's an insult to Tesla owners. The Tesla network exists for them, and nothing stops any Tesla driver from shopping at a Circle K.

Any Teslas for USA market produced October 2020 or later is CCS1 adapter ready. Older models can be DIY retrofitted.

We I don't think Bob is going to stop at one unless it's close to a Tesla charger.

I think I did once near Nashville or Knoxville. I remember stopping for a biology break and found at 2 AM, they had no roller hot dogs nor black coffee even in cans. But I carry COSTCO canned coffee and proceeded to the SuperCharger.

I know you dislike Elon, but I think Tesla is going to have a record quarter.

Anyhow, you have to pay the demand charges and maintenance costs today and not in the future. As such, it doesn't make any sense to ignore as many customers as Tesla brings to the table.

Oh they may, between their price cut and Ford having to pause production of the F150 Lightning, they might even briefly not see a market share drop. But their market share in January was their lowest yet at 57% (I can't find Feb. stats) and has been slipping steadily. To think that won't continue as competitors keep bringing more and more EVs to market, many of them really good, while Tesla's lineup is increasingly stale, is to live in a fantasy world.

This is my world:

Other than getting parts, I'm going full, self maintenance:
