13. It still seems limiting

First, driving 60-65 on I-95 is not what I'd typically do. Most of it is posted 65, but traffic moves at 70+.

CNN didn't take the NJTP, Washington Bridge route -- they took a longer route to avoid NYC traffic, almost certainly the GSP, Tappan Zee route. Once you are at the Tappan Zee, going back to I-95 to get to Milford, CT is suboptimal. Much better to take the Sawmill to I-684, to I-84, possibly using I-691 and I-91 and the Charter Oak Bridge to avoid going through Hartford. But there isn't a charger on this route.

45 minutes to an hour at a rest stop seems long. A restroom break and fast food don't take that long.

And if the Tesla's become more popular, what are the odds that the supercharger parking slots will be full when you arrive at the rest stop?

Lastly, these later trips were taken in quite a bit warmer weather. The comparison would have been better if they had driven at night when the temperatures were similar.
