Couldn't the mainstream auto manufactures install chargers at each of their dealers? It seems that for any major car brand, there are more dealerships than there are Tesla chargers.

Seems like a decent idea, but it wouldnt be free. The dealers are independent businesses. Also have you ever seen a dealership with a bunch of empty parking spaces? The charging stations will be competing with the dealership's storage space for cars.

Dealerships aren't in the right locations to make long-distance travel work out. You'd have huge holes in the network.

Would you enjoy spending several hours of your vacation hanging around auto dealers' showrooms?

How is Tesla any different?

My road trip to the beach would take 4 hours more in a Tesla than a ICE. That time would be waiting at rest stops along the way...
