The only problem with Tesla on road trips is having to limit your destinations to places along major highways.
Not a problem for... I'd say 99.999% of the general population.
But if you travel frequently to middle of nowhere places for outdoor activities, those are the only people that I don't recommend EV at all.
For everyone else, I think EVs... or at least Tesla, you'd be fine. The charging network is super comprehensive along major routes. And at the speed that V3 superchargers can do (250kwh), the stop is minimal. You barely have time to plug it in, walk to the toilet and pee.
Once V4 reach its full potential (rated to reach 1mwh, well... 960kwh if you want to be precise) and there's enough availability, the whole discussion is over.
Yes, you need to make stops. But the charge would take no more than 5 minutes each time. But unless you are doing some cannonball run, you'd stop that much time with ICE too.
