My first (and only real) time getting to know a Tesla owner was while I was working in Denmark in 2015. The guy in question was the project manager who had a model S , In 2015 they were only a few years into production . He lived in Malmo Sweden and the Job was in Esbjerg in Denmark , about as far West as you can go before falling into the sea.
His commute was around 200 miles each way. He would turn up at the hotel in the evening , plug his car in the dedicated EV underground parking spaces (this was 6 years ago remember , Denmark way ahead of the game) and get a lift into work with one of us in the morning and bugger off back to Sweden the next day.
.
It was all new to me and he told me some interesting tales about Tesla ownership in 2015. I guess this was early days as he had had numerous motors fail to the point where Tesla sent him a spare one in a box to keep at home so if it failed again the nearest Tesla workshop would have a readily available spare, I saw a photo of it and was surprised at how small it was.
He was not shy to use his Tesla as an everyday car. he took a family holiday in it from Sweden to the south of Italy !! He said the biggest problem was when he arrived at his meticulously planned hotel/guesthouses along the way many of them thought the electric car he had told them he would need to plug in overnight was going to be a tiny little thing and not a full size car, which caused a few charging/parking issues . But nothing an extension lead could not sort out.
His passion was old Japanese performance cars and he told me of a drive from Malmo to Scotland to collect a rare engine he had bought. Yes, he went in the Tesla . he said he ate a lot of meatballs and drank a lot of coffee on that trip as much charging took place at IKEA car parks.
This type of motoring suited a man like him, quite high up the management ladder so could pretty much plan his own diary and obviously good at planning in general, linked to the fact that he only had to add a few thousand Kroner to his allocated company car budget to put him in a Tesla while every kilometre he was legally allowed to claim the 40 cents a Kilometre (or whatever it was) of which just about every penny went into his pocket.
It would not surprise me if he was on Tesla number 4 by now and still loving every minute of it.
One day we will all be like him , hopefully by then EV charging stations will be on every street corner . They are going to have to be.....

It works ,but a mate of mine who works there tells me it is under almost constant attention of a service team to keep it working.
