I got my first EV. I do travel a lot on the road. For Teslas, the infrastructure is great, and we have had no issues so far on long trips. At home, I have the wall charger, which works pretty well.

This. You never need to stop somewhere to charge. We put in a level 2 charger next to the driveway. It's basically the same as your dryer. We didn't need a panel upgrade.

We have also done long trips. I'm not sure you save money over a Prius (but our Prius got around 60 mpg). It's about the same as that I think in terms of money. We just got back from a trip out to Minnesota and along the Mississippi River (maybe 1600 miles?). No problems finding chargers. The car finds them for you. We always used Tesla superchargers (fast and don't need to get out our credit card). However, we bought a CCS charging adapter in case we want to use a CCS charger (have not done it yet). We have heard that those other chargers are not as reliable.
