The problem is that what you actually do a roadtrip, (and you're not charging at home on a normal "commute" day) is sit on your ass and do absolutely nothing for 45 to 90 minutes at a gas station in the middle of fucking nowhere, hoping no hick "jeds" see you hanging out at the Tesla charger and approach you to tell you that "yuu got a perddy mouf".

You don't charge EVs from 0 to 100% on roadtrips. It is inefficient.

Charging from 20% to 80% only takes 15-30 min.
