> they are terrible for long distance cross-country drives as you have to wait for hours for it to charge That's mostly untrue. I use to drive from Atlanta to Jelico and back a couple times a year and in my Model 3 it added probably 20-30 minutes to the trip time compared to an ICE vehicle. The rate at which an EV charges slows down as the battery gets closer to 100%. The time to charge an EV from 5-55% is faster than the time to charge from 55-100%. If you only charge up to 80% or 90% you will cut a significant amount of time off your charge times. The Tesla trip planner will plan routes with this in mind automatically. We moved cross country last year (~2200 miles) from GA to CA and it took us 4 days. I drove a diesel box truck and my partner drove the Model 3, we took the same route but didn't stick together. We stopped at the same overnight stops and our arrival departure times were with in 30 minutes of one another. What you don't realize on long road trips is that stops for fuel rarely consist of just filling up. You use the restroom, stretch, buy a snack, etc. That all adds up to 15-25 minute stops, where as the Model 3 would stop to charge for 20-30 minutes.
