Tesla made this feature to quell concerns about becoming stranded in the middle of nowhere

Tesla's latest feature doesn't even require owning one of its vehicles. 

The electric car company today launched an online trip planning tool that shows people where they can drive around the U.S. in a Tesla. 

Although anyone is free to explore the tool, it's designed for prospective Tesla customers — perhaps those concerned about running out of battery life while stranded on a lonely, windswept New Mexican highway during monsoon season. Tesla owners already have this specialized navigation tool in their cars, but now, it's being made available to everyone on the website.
