It will get there, I know. It's not there, yet. The price is still high, and I'm a bit nervous trusting such a drive to batteries that have proven (in computers, at least) to be something less than reliable over the long haul.
I assume you live in Boise.

there are existing superchargers in Boise, Baker City, Pendleton, Hood River and Portland. It's actually very easy to drive from Boise to Portland in a Tesla.

If you go via Eastern Oregon through Bend, yea... that's harder. Bend doesn't have a supercharger station yet (coming soon) but there are dozens of electric vehicle chargers in the city and a super charger at Detroit Lake on the west side of the cascades.
