How do you charge a Tesla without a home charger?

How do you charge a Tesla without a home charger? I want to get a Tesla, but I live in an apartment building without any option to install a charger. Are there other ways that I can charge my car?

That definitely sounds like a challenge, but there are ways to charge a Tesla without a home charger. Teslas can be charged at supercharger stations, which typically charge about $0.25 per KW.
You’ll need to sit and wait for your Tesla to charge, which can take anywhere from an hour to 12 hours of your day, depending on how empty your battery is. If you don’t have a charging station nearby, you might need to consider other options.
Waiting to charge your car isn’t fun (especially when Teslas are so much fun to drive), so you can try talking to your apartment manager to see if they’ll install
electric vehicle
charging stations. Many states are pushing apartment buildings to install charging stations so more people can buy hybrid or green vehicles.
Once you get the charging situation figured out, be sure to look into
