1. Still not convinced of the charging network - we drive across to Estonia every 2-3 years to visit the outlaws, neither the car nor the Tesla website could find us a route, with charging, other than via the 16 hour ferry from Stockholm. No route presented via land, only seemed to get as far as Warsaw, then nothing
It's the limitation of planning aps we use in UK. I tried to plan route to Latvia and they say it's impossible and it does not show any charging stations in Latvia. Last is in Warsaw, you can allegedly get to Kaunas from there if you drive below 70km/h(45mph) and there is Tesla supercharger coming in Kaunas Q3 2021. It does not take in to account any local stations.

For example it does not show any in Latvia but while there are no high power superchargers in Latvia the biggest charging network had 112 50kW stations in November 2020 with 139 planned to be installed in 2021 of which 70 were completed by end of July 2021. And there are hundreds more low power chargers. So yes you can get around without fear of running out of juice it's just chargers are slower so it will take longer recharging, still you can get 50kWh charge in 1 hour good for about 150 miles, you just need to search for charging stations on local apps or on google and pay for charging.
