There are right and wrong ways to do charging on a road trip. If you’re such a noob that you’ve only done it once, you very likely may have been doing it wrong. So I wouldn’t give your anecdata much weight.

I would give your anecdata precisely zero weight because it directly contradicts with the hundreds and hundreds of Tesla owners I’ve met and chatted with.

Musk is a false prophet dude, leave his religion, your faith in him will not benefit you but it MIGHT make you die in a car crash.

Hundreds and hundreds eh? How’d you manage that?

Spent a lot of time at Superchargers bored as hell because supercharging sucks. Wound up talking to hundreds of other Tesla owners over the course of hundreds of supercharging sessions.
