you just plug it in in the evening

This part confuses me so much in the area where I live. There is a Tesla Model S in my tiny parking garage where I live that has no outlets. I see two different Model S' parked on the street during my nightly walks. Do these people just charge at work or at the mall everyday? They have no accommodation for coming home late on a "low tank" besides literally going to a mall for a few hours.

There are places where you can park and charge for free. There might also be some outlets at employers and malls; But every electric car owner I know has A high-current outlet at home.

Possibly, but even with the Tesla supercharger it takes half an hour to get decent range.

Please tell me where I can charge for free. I have like three different accounts for different charging station companies. Even my work charges me and if I stay in the spot more than 4 hours they jack the price to 3 dollars and hour even if charged. The only actually free charging I've had was at an Indian casino in an actual Indian reservation.

My battery is really small (~20 miles) in relative terms being a hybrid electric, but it's nice to charge. Never free though.
