Yes, when you factor those things in, it does get worse.

Pulling up and seeing a line would be a very sad thing.

So, I just ran some numbers in my head....

I drove SFO to IAD with a friend a few years ago - it's pretty mush a straight 2,800 mile shot. We did it in 40 hours, give or take, over 2.5 days.

If you did that in a Tesla you'd make a dozen (minimum @ 240 miles range) pit stops of 45 minutes each. Forgetting everything else, that's 9 hours. Or a 25% time penalty.

Assuming you could make through WY, etc....
