Man, these look pretty great. I just built up a gravel bike this winter and went with a Spider-based SRAM Force PM, but if I had waited I may have gone with this. These have the benefit of allowing me to travel with them and use TR on vacation.
The night before a long ride I charge my head unit, tail light, headlight, watch, and phone. Sometimes my di2 batteries and pedals too. I understand the concern of people doing rides long enough to use the entire battery charge, but I don’t see any reason I would forget to charge one thing when I have to charge so many others. If I was really worried about it, I would create a checklist on my phone and run through it every time.

This is one reason I got the garmin edge 1040 so I rarely have to charge it.
Just to clarify, are we talking one of the coiled super long kitchen phone style cords, or just a short boring one?

Good thing is these days that most devices that pair to the head unit will also send a battery level field to the head unit. So I have a screen on my Garmin dedicated to showing battery levels of my power meter, Di2 (both shifters and the main battery), rear light (Varia) and the head unit itself. So end of each ride I can just scroll across and see which batteries need charging (or replacing in the case of the Di2 shifters which use coin cells, though they’re still rock solid at 5/5 after 9 months of use) in a couple of seconds. And then I have a socket on the wall next to the bike racks with all the chargers plugged in so everything charges in place without having to remove it.

A valid concern - but this hasn’t proven to be the case for the previous favero pedals. I’ve seen no reason to doubt their claims regarding the batteries in those lasting 10s of years of normal use before the battery capacity drops below 80% - and the internet is not a forgiving place.
Hopefully these new pedals are the same.
Electric car batteries loosing capacity on the other hand scare me

This is a key question and a major benefit of the Rallys. I have SPD and SPD-SL bodies for mine. They mainly stay as SPD on my gravel bike, but if I’m traveling and want power on a rented road bike, it’s super easy to flip over to SPD-SL. I did this when I went to Mallorca last spring and it worked like a charm.
If you have a USAC membership, Rallys can be had for 20% off through Expert Voice.

I’ve done 4 Unbounds on my Rally XCs. No issues with my feet (outside of the normal I’ve been in these damn shoes for 15 hours, let me out!). I use the Fizik gravel shoe.

It came with the cabin (which they bought in '93) but they’ve never tried it since my dad is cheap and didn’t want to pay for phone service there
I wonder if we can expect a new road pedal from favero that are similarly “podless”?
