This seems like a lot of stops with not much km covered. Be interesting to know what is going on.

As opendoor pondered its because they are trying to fast charge 10-60% as this is way faster for Model3. Look at the chart I link below but spoiler charging rate drops off drastically above 60% for M3. That implies they are utilizing ~half the range so need to stop every 2-2.5hrs . I think 10-30% is sweet spot for fast charging M3 so they will always try to run it below 10% just to get best DC charging rates. Also checking latest tweets they hit a station that gave 73kW. I assume they only charge to what they need to get to the next supercharger in that case so that increases the amount of stops in their speed run across Canada.
