Long term travel is no big deal. I plugin at home, so I always have a full battery when leaving, instead of the normal refuel at the beginning of long trips. My car charges at 550 mph when low. So we drive for 3.5 hours or so, everyone gets out to stretch their legs, grab a snack, potty the dog, and meet back in the car. Sure sometimes we end up waiting an extra 10-15 minutes waiting for a charge, just not a big deal. Especially when over a normal year I skip 50-100 trips to a gas station. It's really nice to wake up in the morning and know that unless I'm driving for 5 hours or more I just don't have to worry about it. I'm a fan of the latest/greatest phones, I have a Pixel 6 Pro on order. But when driving I find it MUCH nicer to have a 15" display always showing the current map than to have some tiny phone clipped to my dashboard or windshield. I wouldn't call it second rate at all. Phone calls, voice recognition, etc works great in my Tesla. Having moved to a new city recently, I've really appreciated the nav. One big difference is many other cars have a nav system that feels over a decade out of date from day 1. So they age really poorly.
