Just completed a 6400 mile road trip from northern New England to New Mexico and southern Colorado and back in my 2024 SEL, averaging 4.2 miles/kwh. I used 27 different Tesla Superchargers, with the Hyundai adapter, plus a handful of Charge Point and Ionna chargers. My experience with the Tesla Superchargers was nearly flawless. I never had to wait for an open stall and experienced only one glitch, that simply involved moving stalls, the entire trip. In addition the Superchargers were usually the most convenient option, were always the least expensive, with my "non-Tesla" membership, and provided the fastest peak charging speeds, 92 kw, and overall charging time to 81%. The Superchargers that were open to the Kona were easy to find using the Tesla app. Road tripping in the U.S. in a Kona is much easier now than it was last year when I took a similar trip.
I also find the adapter is a lot easier to plug in using the sleek Telsa supply cords and NACS connector than the usual CCS Franken plug monstrosity and heavy cables encountered at other sites. I always seem to fumble a lot trying to get them to align the connector to the charge port especially if the lighting is poor.
