Correct! Teslas have been reasonable for a lot of long distance travel with their superchargers for 5+ years. They built chargers between big cities, close enough to each other. Every other ev suffers in comparison for long distance travel. The writer did mention that it was different for teslas (still not perfect), but I don't think they really made it clear enough. With a tesla model s you can drive cross country and I can go almost anywhere, whether that is across Washington State to San Diego or BC to Banff.

They are now getting into the density game in a lot of markets which is very exciting. For example they are putting Superchargers at every single rest stop in NJ along I-95 (I think its like 8 total in a couple hundred mile span). With the density you can really optimize your charging since charging is very very fast at a low state of charge.
