Him personally no. He has a townhouse and his parking spot is not next to his house. For people that live in a single family home certainly. For others it depends. You can have a charger installed in your home as well. IDK the cost

I think it's a couple grand for the level 2 charger plus install. Might be worth it but that bumps up the cost.

Now body work is an entirely different story, I have multiple friends whose car has been out of service multiple months waiting for minor repairs.
You're right, it's a trivial problem to have a car where the doors do not work.

Six years of gas savings is accounted for in Model 3 configurator, but not a charger. So yes this would be an extra cost.

You're right, I'm not sure why the Tesla configurator lists it as $2500.
