First Tesla Road Trip - 5000 miles across South West USA - Summary opinions and tips!

In the spring of 2022 we took our first road trip in our Tesla Model Y, which makes this our first road trip in an electric car.
Having done a similar route last year in a gas SUV I decided to try and answer the following questions for myself and hopefully others will find it useful, especially as many times I will be crossing large distances in areas that are lightly inhabited so chargers will not be as common:

1) How convenient is an EV road trip compare to a gas one?
2) What does an EV trip cost vs gas?
3) How many broken chargers will I come across?
4) How often will I have to wait for a charger at a busy spot?
5) Is it annoying stopping frequently and waiting ages to charge?
6) What is the true range of the car at high speeds?
7) Is it worth booking a hotel with a charger?
8) How many miles can I realistically cover in a day?

In this videoI will answer those questions and give you my view of the practicality of doing a true long distance, multi state road trip in a Tesla EV.
