When I walked out of the airport in Amsterdam, I was astonished at the number of Teslas waiting to
pick up passengers. The Tesla has gone over big as taxis in A-dam. Besides the half dozen or so at
the airport, I saw another 8-10 on the highways during the nine days I was there. In the past couple
years, I've seen only one on the roads around here.

Of course, Holland is not a huge country.

I looked and there are a few charging stations near me (~20 miles) but
they are all in high end hotels so I assume you have to be staying
there to use them

Ah, with your skills you could install a 50amp outlet in your garage and charge it in no time. The
Cypress Bend RV resort would probably let you hook up to the 50amp outlet for $5.

Getting 50a in the garage is trivial. that is where the main panel is.
The "charging" I am worried about is the hundred grand Musk charges
for the car.
The issue with stations is what to do when you are not home although I
am not that far away very often in a car.

Campgrounds?

I just looked and Tesla does have an onboard charger and it will work
on a 14-50 or a 1-15/5-20 if you have the right adapters with you.
The optional "Dual Charger" doubles the power it can take.


I didn't realize that the 'Superchargers' were free!


"The World’s Fastest Charging Station

Superchargers are free connectors that charge Model S and Model X in minutes instead of hours.
Stations are strategically placed to minimize stops during long distance travel and are conveniently
located near restaurants, shopping centers, and WiFi hot spots. Each station contains multiple
Superchargers to help you get back on the road quickly."

And they seem pretty prevalent along the interstates:

The new Tesla 3 is looking better and better!
