To lazy to find it, but there are some youtube videos of a car reviewer doing cross country trips in tesla's to review the difficulty. They are generally favirable, while pointing out some of the possible issues (broken chargers!) that might cause problems. A year or so after the first one, he did the exact same road trip along the northern US to compare how well it worked in cold weather to determine how much effect it would have. (answer enough to be inconvenient but he also changed to a more optimal charging method to compensate). All that is to say, in the end he published how much it cost him for this road trip, per mile in charging fees and it ended up being something like 15% cheaper than driving a similar family sedan (30MPG IIRC) and buying gas. Two which, I would like to point out that gas taxes to pay for the roads he was driving on where likely more than 15% in most of the states he drove through. It might have been slightly more carbon friendly, but i'm a little tired of people with electric cars being given quantity discounts (if you will) buying from power generation mixes that are >50% carbon while those of us cooling our inefficient houses and powering our piggy computers are on tiered pricing models that rape us for excess consumption.
