Spending even more time traveling than one already does, just to make the same trip, is a pita. Period
Why would you join a forum consisting of Tesla owners, if you're just going to dismiss the experiences of Tesla owners as invalid?
Here are a few things that I think most Tesla owners who have done significant road trips will agree on:
a)
Having more/longer stops makes the trip less tiring: You spend more time recovering after a get-there-itis trip than you lose by stopping. I've driven from San Francisco to Seattle in a Tesla, and threw a BBQ when I got to Seattle. I can't imagine
ever having done that in an ICE. We make that trip frequently, and before the Tesla I would just crash when I get home - won't even unload. Now we unload, do laundry, cook food, even watch a movie after we arrive. Technically the trip is 3 hours longer... but it doesn't matter. I also know for sure that you won't believe me (or all the other Tesla owners that will tell you the same), until you've actually tried this.
b)
Faster stops won't help a lot - fewer stops will: You have more stops in a Tesla than in an ICE, that's for sure. If you travel with kids or dogs, the charge time is almost irrelevant - you spend more time hoarding them around than you do charging. Most of the time the Superchargers end up waiting for you rather than the other way around anyway. There is also fixed overhead getting to & from the Superchargers.
c)
350kW won't make a huge difference: You hit that charge taper
really quickly. Unless you drive on the edge of your battery capacity - which is stressful, you'll arrive with 50 miles left and from there you'll hit the charge taper within about 10 minutes. With a 350kW that 10 minute untapered period drops to 3 minutes. So you save 7 minutes overall... which means a 30 minute stop becomes a 23 minute stop. Ehhh. I wouldn't pay money for that differene.
d)
Most Supercharger problems are addressed by: "Build more Superchargers":
E.g. you'd think bigger batteries are needed to have fewer stops. But in fact, more Superchargers will also achieve this. It would mean you can use more of your battery. Currently you pretty much have to make all the stops - it would be nice if you can skip one if you have e.g. 80 miles left. Similarly, a lot of Supercharger sites suck, and isn't places I would want to spend time at. Again solved by building more Superchargers in more places.
e)
Passengers feel different: To them sitting in a car and sitting in a Starbucks is not much different. To the driver however, it is.
I think 350kW is important because it sends a powerful (albeit somewhat inaccurate) marketing message. And it will help with local charging as long as Tesla also start charging for tapered mode - like they now do for idle mode. But on an actual road trip... there are bigger, more easily addressed problems that will actually improve the experience a lot more.
