Tesla has already been sending out letters to owners who abuse the Superchargers.
Again. They'll build more of them. Calgary doesn't even have ONE yet. These things take time. And I would argue that most people aren't going to abuse superchargers either - the same way people don't abuse gas stations. It doesn't matter that I can fuel up anywhere, I don't drive 1400 KM a day.

The Model 3 purports to have a range of anywhere between 300-350KM. If that doesn't fit your lifestyle, this isn't the car for you. But the only way we're ever going to get to a world where an electric car has the same range as my TDI Jetta (and charges in 15 minutes) is with cars like the Model 3 paving the way.
