All of this is thrown out the window by simply pulling up to one of the thousands of gas stations.
That being said, a hybrid could potentially solve these, too, but with the increased complexity of two systems.

Yes--you would need to add a charger or two. Any electrician can go this, indoors or out, cost is about $2K.
One thing that is not well known is that Tesla has a huge Supercharger Network--these chargers add >300 miles of range to your car per hour. Obviously, this is slower than gas, but you need to stop for gas weekly, and you'll only to charge on the road a few times a year. I use them when I drive to NY. Check out the map--they are plentiful along any highway trip.
