Bend is 350 miles from Boise. No Tesla made will make it that far. Since a good number of our trips go that way, a Tesla is out of the question. As far as the Portland route, that's a lot of stopping (and a smart traveler would stop a lot in order to insure a charge through what is otherwise a very hostile, desert environment).
Again, I support the development of these cars, and they are very practical as a commuter in densely packed cities. Out here in the west, where hundreds of miles separate cities, Tesla isn't quite there, yet. Especially when considering I can get a good car for half the price (of a Model 3) that gets better mileage than most hybrids.
