If I get a Tesla I would rent a gas car if I ever went on a road trip over 200 miles. Also not a good car to bring back country camping.
There are some trips that will not be convenient, but there are more chargers than you think, I would totally do a road trip anywhere in the US with my Model 3. Back-country is a little harder because areas with no services..well.. don't have any services.
abetterrouteplanner.com or
plugshare make it easy to plan a route and find chargers. But an electric car isn't a gas car, there isn't a charging station on every corner. But there are still lots of chargers, and companies like EVGo and Electrify America are adding lots, in addition to
Tesla's supercharger network.
