> While Tesla’s website shows roughly 600 Supercharger stations in the U.S., it has only around 400 in Europe, 65 of them in France (with a total of 220 charging docks). That doesn’t feel like much for a country roughly the size of Texas with more than double its population.

The supercharger network in Europe is strongly weighted towards the west, there's a map [1].

Texas seems to have 39 superchargers, and the journalist didn't have to wait while others were charging.

So my guess is a 715 mile road trip in the USA would be similar — particularly on a leisure road trip, which is less likely to follow the main motorways.

I commented here about my own experience taking a ~5,000 mile US road trip from Oregon to Texas in a Tesla Model 3 last summer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18868422

tl;dr: I covered ~600 miles a day and it was a lovely trip.
