I'm seriously contemplating trying to do the road trip in the budget Model 3 (rwd, smaller battery). It looks like just the kind of adventure that would be way more fun to me than taking an airplane or spending time in Vegas for that matter since I hate that sort of thing.
Am I crazy? I tried a few EV route planners and it seems there are enough super chargers along the way to make it doable in just under 24 hours of driving/charging. Not sure if I want to buy a CCS adapter to take advantage of other networks like Electrify America, etc.
The biggest issue is planning where to stop. The route is mostly straight down through Idaho/Montana/Utah, etc. with no big cities (maybe Salt Lake City) until Vegas.

It is probably a good experience to undertake. I had a friend who drove down to Salt Lake City and onwards to Moab and vowed to never do it again. It was just too slow, painful and anxiety inducing although this was pre Covid and the charger network has probably improved since that trip. I watch a lot of the Out of Spec Motoring YouTube videos and he does a lot of road trips between Fort Collins/Denver and LA/west coast so that might be a useful resource.
