Just FYI, the navigator does have a steering assist function. In my opinion it doesn't work well, but it is technically there.
An ICE cooler ironically - what a horrible pun
. We eat while we drive. We aren't the kind of people that like to lounge around on road trips that aren't scenic/historic. We would rather just get where we're going. I don't think many people would argue that the superchargers in the rural midwest are surrounded by areas of scenic and/or historic interest. And yes, we don't want to wait 30 extra minutes to charge. And the snow/cold etc do have a significant negative impact on the battery. Myself, wife and 3 kids only need 1 stop in the middle of the particular 5 hour drive that we do several times per year.
Also, I appreciate the OP sharing their experience. It's helpful to all of us in similar situations making similar decisions.
