There is no harm in charging to 100%, but doing it regularly will erode your range faster. (Range will slowly reduce with usage, this is normal.)
The charge rate is slowed as the battery gets full, such that you can charge up to 80% in less time than going from 80% to 100%. So on a road trip, it's more expedient to charge only as much as you need to make it to the next SuperCharger. If you were stopping for a break anyway, then let it charge as much as it can take, it will save you idle fees.
