No idea how much longer Tesla will tease buyers before it actually becomes available:

I was observing Tesla when they start advertising their first roadster 15 or 20 years ago.
Took them like 10 years to actually put them on the street (with heavy taxpayers contributions) and when I first saw the roadster on the street, my first question was "where is the remote for this toy?"
The roadster never become popular, even paper numbers would say it can beat most of the Ferrari in street racing.
Every few months I drive via Area 51 on Nevada desert. The 8 Tesla charging stations in Tonopah never have a customer, although I've seen couple of Teslas on the highway there. Gas stations often have waiting line.
So I am not holding my breath for Tesla pickup.
But on the other hand- I visited commercial vans service station in San Diego last month. They had 3 big delivery vans powered by batteries.
By Ford.

There will never be as much demand for DC fast chargers as gas stations as the vast majority of charging is done at home. We are seeing more and more Petrocans with fast chargers though. We have used them from time to time.
