Tesla recently released a trip planner software that calculates how much charge you need. It optimizes for travel time. That means when you are ready to go the software tells you. Therefore people wouldn't wait until they have a full battery. http://images.thecarconnection.com/lrg/tesla-model-s--trip-planner-feature_100505093_l.jpg

Larger batteries are good because:

1. They enable driving faster which consumes more energy

2. Skipping a supercharger

3. Leaving home with more range

Eventually Teslas will have 500 miles range. Elon talked about this. He said when the car has 500 miles range superchargers won't be needed because almost nobody drives more than 500 miles a day. He is talking about the fact that people can't drive forever. We all need to sleep once a day. Even if you drive the whole day, eventually you need to sleep. That's when you will charge. Superchargers won't be needed when electric car range exceeds all you can drive before you are too tired. The saturation point is 500 miles. Batteries will continue to become bigger until then.
