That is pretty conservative, which, of course, makes sense (especially when you're not used to the car; we have a destination charger available at a resort we often go to and it'll be a LONG time before I'm comfortable going somewhere and trusting that the ONE charger will work).
Of course, the model X is also sort of a worst case scenario because it's the least efficient car they sell.
IIRC my parents stopped 3x from Peninsula to San Diego (well, okay, north county) in their S 75d. But they didn't start with a full charge either, and on top of that, typical users only charge to 80-90% on a regular basis, and only cram it full for roadtrips. They could definitely make it in 2.
With a LR Model 3 you could definitely do the drive in 1 stop but it depends on the exact location; IIRC Atascadero is a little too close to SF and Buellton is a little too close to SD. On the other hand, with the proliferation of superchargers, the increasing number of options makes it a bit easier to YOLO it and then stop short even if it means a stop for a quick charge only 20-50mi from your destination.
