Hotels can have electrical outlets. Not to mention chargers which are often faster than electrical outlets. Long trips in huge countries are easy peasy. Charging stops are like 10 minutes every couple hours and sometimes 20 when someone goes in a store for a few minutes. The long charging stops you are thinking of are non-Teslas.

I like how you completely forgot that a night at a hotel costs you 1 day of vacation, plus the cost for the hotel itself.

Most healthy people don't need toilet breaks every 2h, and you're not accounting for the line at charging spots. 10 minutes * 5 cars isn't a short stop really.

There are no lines though. And you are making things up. There is no need for a hotel. As an example, a recent long trip I took in a BEV (Tesla) was 1442 km in one day. No hotel needed. How is that a bad thing? Are you going to tell me that is a short distance?
