I get the road trip range problem. One of our regular road trips requires 300 miles between supercharger access, so we generally take an SUV to avoid slower charging options. If we can make trips with just one supercharger stop, the Model S is our go to vehicle. The 500 mile Cybertruck will replace the SUV while also taking the top (bottom) spot in 0-60 times within the garage.
