But I do see that planning a road trip in Tesla is going to require a lot of additional stops. Last time when when I planned for a coast to coast ride, it was 14 hours additional to a regular ride because of the charging time. It's 3000 mile so 10 stops. Sure I can kill those charging times if they bring their 600 mile range roadsters.

You can mitigate the impact of charging time by charging during meals and breaks (which is why the preponderance of superchargers are located next to restaurants).

If your route allows, you can also take advantage of what Tesla calls "destination chargers" - Tesla chargers at hotels that are free-to-use for patrons.
