Get a Tesla, they said

"Electricity is infinite and free"? Where is it free? I just paid my electric bill today, and it wasn't one bit free. No matter how electricity is generated in the future, you will have to pay for it.
It doesn't matter if electric cars are adopted slowly. The supply of electricity to charge the batteries will just not be sufficient. The windmills cost more in energy that they will produce in their short usable lifetime. And then they go into landfills, because they can't be recycled. It's a similar story with solar panels.
The car batteries cost a fortune and don't last nearly as long as advertised. Then they have to go in the landfill as well.
You can't park an electric car outside in the sun. You can't let it get very cold. If I bought one today, I couldn't go anywhere, as there aren't sufficient charging stations. My entire county only has two charging stations. A few dozen cars would keep a line at both of them. Home charging stations are dangerous. I've read of a number of houses burning down because of them. The home charging station is another expense.
If you don't want to buy coolants, just get an old Volkswagen that's air cooled.
I don't see anything but negatives on having an electric car.
You will have to pay for it because you don't have the capacity to generate large quantities of energy. The companies that do will always charge for it.
300 miles? That's not much of a vacation. I drive more than that in a day when I'm on vacation. But I wouldn't be able to with an electric car.
There is somewhat of a scarcity of coal, gas, and oil for generating electricity. We don't have the land for windmills, without going communist and confiscating it. They also have a negative return. The same goes for solar. It's a losing deal, if it weren't for government (taxpayer) subsidies.
Yes, you can "make electricity" with a home made generator, but you have to physically turn that generator. That takes a force from somewhere. There's not enough wind or water to do it. You can crank it yourself, but you'll get tired fast. Also, you can't get around the laws of physics.
You seem to be blinded by how much you had to spend on the Tesla. Just wait until you have to replace the battery, or start getting fewer miles on a charge. Or you get stuck on the interstate in a winter storm.
