Here are the number of stops and recommended duration of charging. (I have done this drive a number of times, as well as many long road-trips, and 14 required stops is excessive in my view).
Not too bad if thats how it shakes out in the real world, but its still pretty bad. Just not as bad as I expected it to be, guess I am just use to 10 minutes being a long pitstop on a road trip.

I haven't been past those So Cal superchargers recently, but last time I drove past the one at Cabazon on the 10 towards Palm Springs the line was huge. With the Tesla stations you can at least assume they are all working properly (not the same with the other generic charging stations) but they are usually packed. Those 10-20 minute stops are really near an hour with slower charging times and waiting in line.

That's why they want you, me, and the rest of America to fund billions of dollars in more chargers.

You know, just like Americans have funded new gas stations for ICEs... oh wait.

What exactly are you guys talking about on the Religion thing? Are you not free to practice any Religion you want? This seems like a very stupid statement.
Yes, I'm all for freedom of religion and glad we have that, I dislike that the Republicans lean so far into religion EVERY time they speak. Believe whatever you like, just stop using it as an excuse for your policies or laws.

I can see fisticuffs in the near future, if not worse.
