This only applies to the supercharger network, but they are so common that I don't go from 10-80. It's usually more like 20%-60%, which is 15 mins or under for me usually. I can make it to the next charger with ~20% and repeat the process

Besides, chargers are usually really far from the actual building so you gotta add another couple mins just walking to/from your car :)




So you’re stopping every how many miles? 40% of 300, so 120? Seems like that adds a significant amount of travel time, roughly 1/4 hour for every 2 hours traveled.


Maybe I'm just coping, but I personally see this as a feature rather than an issue. Sitting for long periods of time is not healthy. Getting up for 10-15 minutes every two hours is _good_ for my mind and my body.


I would agree in general, but on the infrequent occasion when I'm doing a road trip, it's more important to reduce travel time and avoid traffic backups that result from extended travel time. Most of my trips are from norcal to socal, so avoiding morning/evening rush hour on both ends is the name of the game, at least for me.


The first stretch after every sleep is from 100 to 10, and a stop for food can easily put on 80%.
