Think about needing a charge, pulling into rest area and there are either no charge stations there yet, or the few there are all full!!!
Due to lack of infrastructure travel is restricted to mostly interstate/major roadways. Secondary road availability? Forget about it.
No Thanx!!!!!

I lived in a town of about 1000 in a county of 14000 before moving here. There was a supercharger at a truck stop just outside of town.
The Teslas will route you the most efficient way to make sure you have enough chargers, you don't "suddenly" find yourself stuck in the middle of nowhere. Well, if you decide to ignore all the features helping you, then yes, you can run out of charge, just like you can run out of gas.
The Tesla charging stations are spreading rapidly. The other types are struggling, but are coming. With adapters most car can charge at most stations, not all but most. And not the government is putting money into building out the charging infrastructure.
