Every hundred miles? Hour long stop? Something is wrong with your car if you're only getting that range, or you're driving 100+

If it's anything more than $0.01 - $0.03 / kWH, it's going to be more expensive than fuel for many cars.
as it's more expensive if they charge >$0.03/kw/h.

We traveled from Reno to Denver and had to stop at every Supercharger along the way except for Silverthorne. Some might have to stop in Silverthorne as well but since we live to the west of Denver, we were able to skip that one. I've also driven from Denver to Manhattan, KS. I could've skipped Limon but I-70 was closed for a bit so I ended up stopping there instead of pushing on to Goodland. I was able to skip Salina as well since my final destination was between Salina and Topeka.I don't know where you live, but here in the Midwest, the Superchargers are spaced every ~100 - ~120 miles apart. They are too far apart to skip one. So you have to stop at every supercharger and charge for at least 10 minutes when all is said and done, and really it's more like 15 or 20 minutes as a best case scenario.
It's like this from North Carolina to Denver. I haven't traveled any farther west than that in a Tesla.
So, how is being 90% cheaper too expensive?

The difference is the charging companies are in business to sell electricity to EV drivers and Tesla is in business to sell EVs.The new pricing is better than any L2 or L3 public paid charging that I've ever seen. Even in the cheapest state (here in WA) it's likely to see $0.29/kwh or higher for public charging, almost triple the cost of the much better Supercharging. CHAdeMO can easily be $0.49/kwh or more.
Oh I totally get why the Tesla price is lower.
Anything is possible, they could also do it demand based if they wanted to.Anyone worry that could change? Tesla really touted their "free supercharging for life" deal until suddenly it wasn't. Could the now "reasonable" fees be some day "market based" charges?
