So, more expensive energy.

One thing I'd add is the misleading information the car gives you. My car (in nice temps and steady driving) shows between 200Wh/m and 250Wh/m, but that's not the whole story. The car consumes electric doing nothing and even if I don't park it up with cameras on etc, and I do the maths, either the battery is way smaller than it should be or that 'Wh/m' figure is bollocks. My SR+ can do 250m, I'm not sure how that's possible. Be very lucky to get it over 200m if you drive very slow and carefully in one trip. Since new, it shows 45,000m and average 247Wh/m. Like all cars, don't believe that.
In the UK, it's around 45p per KWh at tesla super chargers (~56$c). If you use another charger it's around 70p. If you used superchargers here in the UK, I'd recon a diesel would be cheaper to run in the real world. We have different gallon sizes, but it's around £6.3 gallon (7.8USD), a diesel will do around 60mpg so that's 10p/m. If you went by the figures on the Tesla screen it's ~11p/m. So I call the diesel (ATM), cheaper. This is a threat in the UK for EVs.
That said, I've had EVs for nearly 8 years now and I have solar panels+battery at home and charge for free at work...for me...it works well. In fact, without going into detail, I actually make money from it.
And I'm not at an airport today

A recent update to the energy screen fixed this.
You can now view the energy used by your car while it was parked.

250 miles is pretty easy to do, take a drive at about 55 mph (~70F) and you'll probably exceed it.One thing I'd add is the misleading information the car gives you.

Record for Model 3 is over 600 miles.
