Doesn't seem to have stopped cable/satellite. Same idea. Buy the car, they send a guy out there to hook it up.

Hydrogen cannot be economically produced like that. It would most likely have to be produced in plants and shipped around just like gasoline.

Tesla gives you the home charging and portable charging station when you buy the car. Professional installion would only take a few hours and it won't get wired into the main power line. To charge that battery in 3.5 hours it will need to draw 70 amps at 240v. The electician will probably put two 35 amp breakers in your box and wire the circuit through them. Honestly this is not much different than wiring the outlet for an electric stove or electric hot water heater. I was looking at in-line electric hot water heaters when I was building my house and they needed a much bigger pipe than this, so it's not really anything "special".
