Or the OP's wife does not work and the OP stroked the check to Tesla. Regardless, either scenario is irrelevant in solving/answering the OP's question/concern.
For the OP, note that the in-car navigation is generally pretty pessimistic in calculating the level of charge at the end of the trip. For example, on my last long trip my car warned me to stay below 70mph to reach my destination. At the end of the trip I arrived with 22% charge. Unless it's incredibly cold and/or you are climbing a mountain and/or you are driving with a significant headwind, you should do better than the navigation predicts you will.
As you and your wife drive, you'll acclimate to these things and you'll be able to account for them without getting range anxiety, especially if the trip is one you take frequently.
