I'll not take another road trip in my Tesla after dealing with the complete lack of bathrooms between San Jose and Davis -- including at Tesla Livermore which 1. shouldn't really have been closed at that hour and 2. should leave their bathrooms open after they close and 3. there's no excuse for not providing bathrooms at every supercharger station. Oh yeah, and we only put on about a mile a minute despite the charger being 120kW-capable.

Great car for local trips. But at least one of our cars will have to be gas for the foreseeable future.

Other bathrooms are available. Your Tesla should be able to stop at those; it doesn't only stop at superchargers.

One-mile-per-minute definitely sounds like something was wrong. Did you try other charging stations? How full was your battery at that point? If you've seen that with multiple stations when you battery was neither nearly empty or nearly full, I'd suggest getting the car serviced as that's not normal behaviour.

The poster means that they want to "kill two birds with one stone". On long trips, avoiding another stop (especially if kids are involved) is a big dealâ„¢.
So when you drive a gas car bathrooms just magically appear in front of you?
At gas "charging stations"? Absolutely.
Sounds like you are just starting out and making newbie mistakes with charging. Join the Tesla Slack and you might get some help with that.
