Though, you must admit, they've done a decent job with rolling out their supercharger stations. Just take a look at this supercharger finder available on the Tesla Motors website. They have an uphill battle still and need to put in a lot more superchargers before the argument will go away, but if you look at large metropolitan areas such as Chicago, LA, and New York. They're even spreading throughout other continents, to have superchargers in every continent except for Africa, the Middle East, and of course, Antarctica; though they only have 3 along the western coast of Australia. They only have 445 stations total, yes, but they way they're placed, and with the fact that they don't cost the customer, I think it's really not all bad.

As far as marketing, Elon Musk seems to want people to learn about the vehicle more organically. From seeing others on the streets to the cars in the news. It's something I really respect about him, allowing the product to speak for itself.

If I gave you the impression I'm not impressed with how Musk handles his business it was an error. I can't fault a thing about his strategy.

The only issue I have is that he expects a lot more of himself and his companies than they're able to put out.
