tesla chargers
Although not yet perfectly comprehensive, the Tesla charger network continues to grow.

Something else to keep in mind is how to keep the battery charged. The range of a Tesla is about 250 miles (400 kilometers), but this varies depending on the incline of the surfaces you roll on, acceleration, and ambient temperature, among other factors. If it is stressful to see how the charge percentage of your mobile drops, imagine what it would be like if that happened to you with a car in a place you do not know. Fortunately, Tesla has a network of charging stations in large urban centers and tourist areas.

In addition, there are networks of private companies. Likewise, many hotels have chargers. Even some supermarkets have a couple of places reserved for electric cars in their parking lots with stations for you to charge the battery while you do your shopping.
