But they know this, and will keep ahead of that demand. Thanksgiving 2018 is a long time away, and building more superchargers is the least of their engineering problems. Very easy to do. And I think you're not grasping how small a number 142 is for a full-fledged gas station. There are over 200 million people in the US with driver's licenses, and over 114,000 gas stations. If only half of those people are driving, that's almost 900 drivers per gas station. 142 is nothing! Particularly since this isn't accounting for the fact that many/most Tesla owners fill up at home. The competition for charging space you're anticipating is simply an imagined worry.
