Gas car range is more about how many times per month you need to stop at the gas station in normal use. More range makes that more convenient. With home charging, the convenience of an electric car is better even with less range.
Don't read trip with me, then. I drove from Hartford, CT to Dallas, TX last month in two days (900mi the first day, 750 the second). Trips like this are specifically why I nixed the Model S as an option and went with a turbodiesel Passat (with its 750+ highway mile range).
I realize I'm in the minority, but it is a notable minority. I don't want to be forced into an hour-long stop every 300 miles.
Note that an hour every 300 miles isn't generally how you'd do it. Charging is faster the closer your battery is to empty, so your best bet is to work in the bottom ~50% of your charge range when possible, and spend ~20 minutes charging at intervals of ~150 miles. You'll note that this is about how far apart Tesla's superchargers are spaced. That, to me, is about the right interval for a quick coffee, bathroom, or stretch break. Your mileage may, of course, vary.
The biggest problem with your particular trip isn't the time for charging, but the general lack of charging infrastructure along the shortest route. If you route through superchargers, the distance is about 300 miles longer due to the need to take I-70 into Kansas to follow the chargers. This should improve with time, and current owners will benefit, but until it does there are some trips that are just not as good with superchargers. But improvements there pay off a lot better than improvements in range beyond 300 miles.
