Unless you refuse to drive an ICE car ever again that kind of rules that out as an option for us. For people like us who road trip as a hobby the Supercharger network is a necessity. Sure, it may be slower than it should due to recent nerfs to the system but have you compared similar trips in similar EVs on the options that are available w/o Supercharging being an option? The absolute fastest speeds available to them are still fraction than are now-slower speeds which kind of puts it into perspective. I also don't see that any of the 3rd party options currently out there are viable to travel across the country. They're sparse, spread out, slow and unreliable.
I think you need to get some more current research. Considering the Taycan just broke the coast-coast EV record using only EA chargers, Also, sparse and spread out, no, check the map. Slow? No, depending on the vehicle, they offer as much as a Tesla V3 charger (and up to 350kW if the vehicle can handle). Unreliable? This is the area where Tesla still has a lead. This and ease of starting charge and payment. Tesla definitely still wins here. But it's more than possible.
