This is so nice. My wife and I drive from FL to WI and back a couple times a year. The only SC stop we've ever waited at or seen other people wait at (since the network filled in a bit and v3 became predominant) is the E Thompson one at the Kroger in Nashville.*
I don't know what people do there either. Is it a big uber spot? It's always a bunch of people sitting staring at their phones. We have hours of driving ahead of us in either direction and we're almost always the last ones in and first ones out there, and even THEN the car usually goes a touch over what we "need" in the time it takes us to pee and buy something at Kroger.
But also on top of that like @oliphant428 said when we're on the return trip somewhere in that Nashville to Atlanta run is where we want to start looking for hotels. It's nice to have another option of knowing there's an SC nearby. Hotels don't have a ton of chargers yet, which I don't understand, but even if you find one that offers it you need to assume it's ICEd. So in a perfect situation there's a nearby supercharger to hit up in the morning if the hotel lets you down.
Also Bucees is a nice venue.
*I should clarify, it's never long, 5-10 minutes, but no where else is even close in that entire journey. We're the only car at all 30% of the time or so.

You really want a Supercharger/fast charger close to the hotel so if you arrive and the EVSE is unavailable you can immediately go charge while the battery's still warm.
If it's THAT close for sure.
I was talking more "20 minutes down the road in the direction we're going" where there's basically no way you lose enough overnight you can't make it. It's hard to thread the needle if you stop an hour away from the next supercharger you have enough to make it if you have to, but also want to arrive to the hotel low enough where there being a wall charger even matters.
If it's more like 15-20 minutes up the road you can probably push it pretty far and still be ok. Close enough, but also not worth going to that night just for the warm battery speed bonus.
Nothing is certain until they start construction. Some sites are permitted but never get built due to unforeseen issues.
These was an agreement between buc ees and Tesla announced a year and a half ago. I assume all has gone well since the new one in Morant just opened with chargers. Rumor is one in Clarksville will have them too. Seems pretty smart for a place like bucees.
Tesla & Buc-ee's Plans For Superchargers Span 26 Stores In 7 States - CleanTechnica
In October, Gail Alfar found out that Tesla was working with Buc-ee’s in two cities to bring Tesla Superchargers to the world’s largest gas station and convenience store. Having been inside a Buc-ee’s before, the best way to describe it is: a gas station on steroids with BBQ, fudge, and...
