A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Teslas do this already with the center screen. And a charging stop usually isn't long enough to make that much meaningful progress on a show. You're there for like 15 mins a lot of time tops. Going to the bathroom/getting a sandwich/etc substantially eats into that time.

lol my kids are always disappointed when we’re done charging on road trips because they weren’t done with the episode of their TV show. We can’t even make it through one whole movie 20 minutes at a time on an all-day road trip. Supercharging really only allows enough time to stretch your legs and go for a quick walk before getting back on the road every ~200 miles or so, which you should absolutely be doing anyway.

Tell that to my Canadian friend who considers anything under 7 hours an easy drive

Enough time to squeeze in an episode of Frasier. I'm down.
