EVs will never be the default until either...
- There are enough chargers for everyone across the US and charging at a station takes <10mins
- Average ranges exceed 500mi
Long distance driving across the US is near impossible without huge delays for charging at the occasional slow ass charger (if you're lucky). But maybe the plan is to keep up as restrained and localized as possible anyways.

I think you might be on to something there.
They don't even want you to own a car. They want all the cars hooked up to a backend system and to essentially be rentals if it needs maintenance it will drive itself to the mothership for repairs. As soon as they can they will phase out the idea that you are going to manually drive your car. If your car tells you that you are not going anywhere that will be that.
