Your points may have some value, but I have a 2015 Model S 70, and the
supercharger speeds are slow enough so long road trips are only when I'm
feeling masochistic.
As to the CCS networks, I don't know to what extent they are approaching
the excellence of Tesla's network, but I'll guess they still have a ways
to go.

Hi Lee:
I too live in rural American, and my statement still stands. We do
road trips of 6k-10k every year, and definetely NOT on the
interstates. The Tesla supercharging network doesn't require you be on
the major routes, for example our favorite drive is on the west coast
from B.C. to southern California via highway 1 and 101. Also another
favorite is highway 395 from northern Wa to southern California. My
nearest supercharger is 1.5 hours away, I charge at home from the sun,
but the point I'm making is that the network is not for daily charging
for me, it's for the road trips, and the Tesla network makes that
possible, unlike every other charging network out there.
Until the other networks get up to speed, and Tesla expands the CCS
option, there is really one main road trip car, and that would be any
model Tesla with at least 60kwh of battery pack.

That's fine if you live in a big city or do lots of long-distance
driving on the interstates. But I live in a rural area (mid-state
Minnesota). The nearest Superchargers are in Minneapolis/St.Paul, which
is over 70 miles away. We rarely go there; in fact we haven't been there
yet this year.
