Wanted to offer my thoughts as an apartment dweller with no home charging...
I picked up a M3 AWD LR on December 18...and I could not be more excited. I HEAVILY lurked these forums trying to determine if it was crazy to purchase an EV with absolutely ZERO access to home charging.
Tl;dr. F#$*&@# buy it!
I drive around 25 miles/day and live about 2 miles from the local supercharger. I have access to L2 charging at work and the gym where i work out 4x a week (or you know, once a week at times)
Is the model 3 a good vehicle for someone like me? It is. I’m absolutely in love with it. I supercharge about 2x a week and L2 charge every other day. Between the two I have experienced ZERO range anxiety. There are about 15 other Tesla owners in my building in the same situation and after casual conversations with most of them - we all agree...we’d make the decision all over again.
Don’t let negative people on this forum scare you away from the thrill that is Tesla ownership. You don’t need a charger at home (unless you’re doing crazy mileage everyday). Buy it, enjoy it...and DONT FREAK OUT about if ‘’supercharging will ruin your battery”...it wont.
I’ve had mine a little over a week and have put 1200 miles on it already. By far the absolute best car I have owned. I’m thrilled to answer any questions you have for those of you in a similar boat. We are a rare breed. But do it! I promise you, there will be no regrets.
