The Tesla trip planner doesn’t make the most optimal decisions. It prefers longer, less frequent stops. Since the battery charge rate isn’t linear you can do significantly better than Tesla’s plan by keeping the battery state of charge low and hoping from charger to charger, getting just enough juice to reach the next one. A recent 7 hr drive I spent less than 40 minutes charging in my 2021 SR+. Play with a better route planner and you can almost certainly do a lot better than Teslas basic plan.
