Feel limited in any way.

1 supercharger stop in Indianapolis, to add about 200 miles of charge which cost just under $10. Took 50 minutes and was charged per minute. Some states allow Tesla to charge by the amount of electricity delivered, but Indiana doesn't, so Tesla charges per minute.

That stop is something we make whenever we travel to Columbus and we usually get lunch, so the 50 minute charge time is just a bit longer than we usually spend getting lunch.

And I charged longer than I needed to and arrived in Columbus with over 100 miles of range left.
