When hurricans etc are about hit an area, Tesla sends out an update to over-ride charge limits and fully charge the cars pre-emptively, sends notifications and alerts on the app, and makes super charging on the route free.

This would not be possible on ICE vehicles, IMHO.

It gives us a choice/warning right? Because sometimes I'll stop charging so it doesn't trip the breaker as I run something else.

The first few things you mention are great, but giving away fuel for free (whether it's gasoline or electricity) is an unsustainable marketing stunt, and won't last.
