Interesting thread, thanks for posting.
Tesla's problems with flaky nav are certainly not unique. I have yet to find a navigation system that gets it "right" every time but the Tesla is very good compared to many and the big screen makes it way better to use on the go.
My first Model S road trip involved a 5 hour stop at a museum, an overnight in a KOA and an after hours stop at a department store's J1772. Things have certainly gotten much better!
Despite being an enthusiastic early adopter I agree that being forced to stop based on where your EV needs to stop for a charge can be inconvenient. In Plymouth, NC I hope you and your passengers like Bojangles because that's the only option:biggrin:. Having a nice variety of food or shopping options really goes a long way towards improving the experience but has not always been an option as Tesla negotiates sites.
