I'm planning to buy around the time I can realistically get a Model 3, which is probably around 2020. Whether I get the Tesla specifically is not set in stone, I expect the landscape will have changed by then.

Buying a new gas car today or in the next few years could look like a terrible mistake by 2025.
Can you make it from the Supercharger in Hope to the Supercharger in Kamloops on one charge? How does climbing the Coquihalla affect the range of a Model S? If you have the CHAdeMO adapter you can stop at the 1 DC station in Merrit (which is in town and not on the highway and hopefully not in use), but even then it's not like a 5 minute layover to top up a tank of gas.

Also, what's the etiquette surrounding unplugging someone else's car if they aren't around and you really need a recharge?
