Yeah I could see getting used to that. Especially if you plan it around having dinner. Just curious, do you ever run into having to wait for a spot at the super charger? I see lots of them are 4 spots deep.

Another problem is that, depending on where you are going, it looks like you might not be able to charge anywhere on the route. I found a map of locations here: http://www.teslarati.com/map/

Like the typical route between Denver, CO to Lake City, CO (255 miles one way) has no supercharger close. Would you modify your route to swing by the location? Or would you have a friend drive a gas car instead?

Well, I'm in the Northeast. When I'm heading somewhere to camp it's usually upstate from NYC. I'm pretty lucky in that the superchargers on the Thruway are honestly really empty at this point. I'll pull in to maybe 1 car, especially if I go further north. Paramus and Tarrytown are fairly busy but further North superchargers are not.

I have a 90D so I'd be able to make that drive in one go, although it would be close!
