I've often wondered about the 'better to wait' question so thanks for answering that with such solid research. The 13k emissions crossover point for EVs is also helpful to have next time I have a conversation about my EV. Now you Tesla people have a good charging network, but I am finding that about 40% of the level 3 chargers are broken. And those that aren't are taken. Makes taking a trip a bit like a cross between geocaching and Where's Waldo, but I am happy to put up with that for the joy of driving electric and furthering adoption through our purchasing decisions.

A couple resources for people who might be thinking about this:
- PlugShare -- a go-to app for charging stations
- The Federal Govt is taking initiative around this. They have a national charger map (with about 1k being added every day!) https://driveelectric.gov/stations And a good podcast on the subject here https://www.volts.wtf/p/ev-charging-for-those-without-a-garage
- Rivian already uses Tesla Network, and Ford are almost there
