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.

I would say do it. I've had my Model 3 long range down to the single digits before hitting superchargers in way smaller road trips here in BC and never really experienced anxiety. The trip planner estimates are usually pretty good and if I'm getting close I drive just under the speed limit. It's surprising how far they go.
I do however have a ccs adapter just in case
