I'm going to be driving across the US in a couple weeks and want to know the best things to bring along for the ride!

Slippers so you don't have to wear shoes, make sure you have 'radio.garden' app on your phone so you can Bluetooth to your car. Sandwiches, simple home-made that needs no refrigeration for days, and a water bottle. Trash bags, small ones, and your chargers.

What? Sandwiches definitely shouldn't go days without refrigeration!?

Peanut butter would be safe to eat, but gross after it soaks into the bread

"Long" is relative.

Don't rely on being able to stream content. Huge parts of the US don't have cell coverage. Have a library of downloaded music, movies, TV shows, games, books, etc. prepared

Excellent. The only thing I would add to this list is maybe a basic first aid kit and towel.
