Have they tried investing in a charging network?

Tesla packaged their early vehicles with unlimited super charging for life - and a nation wide network -- with test road trips publicized; and if you buy a GM/Ford today you have to pull up to a heavily Tesla branded station, pay a premium, use an adapter --- or pull up to chargers that are often slow and unmaintained, with waiting lines, and require a different app at every different station.



Imagine if GM -- perhaps with partnership with another manufacturer invested a portion of today's $10b buyback in a national charging network; possibly doubling the ability for Americans to charge with high quality, branded and integrated (like Tesla).

But nope, a stock buyback.
