One consideration though is that all you need for a Tesla in a pinch is an electrical outlet, albeit ideally one with 220v if you don't want to wait forever for the thing to charge. Electricity tends to be pretty common, even in remote areas. In addition to Tesla superchargers and destination chargers, there are also quite a number of third-party commercial chargers now around. And in further addition there are networks of private individuals who are willing to offer a charge and which you can access online. It is still not as convenient, on a road trip, as pulling into the local gas station, but it is doable. Also, I expect that access to easy charging will expand quickly as high volume electric car sales become a reality. Right now that upcoming reality is mainly in the form of the Tesla Model 3. This is happening.
