Eh, Super Charging is 15-25 minutes. Gas fill up is about 3-5 minutes minimum and definitely more expensive. So I'd say they're closer to even, but w/e.
I don't think solar panels will help though. You need too large of a solar array to make a difference. Would be nice though!

In my experience, the biggest issue is location. If I had superchargers at every lunch/dinner stop, the difference would almost be unnoticeable.

Yea definitely. They aren't always at the best spot. Sometimes we grab food on the way to the charger and then just eat it there. The best ones IMO are at grocery stores or nicer gas stations/travel centers.
I do think when the cyber truck comes out with 500+ range that will change things... you should be able to only need to charge overnight even on road trips.
But long term camping trips might still be an issue.. possibly solar panels on it will help a bit?!
