How many "non-Super" chargers does a single truck take? Does it take up the entire station? How soon are the Megachargers planned?

  they have only announced them they will build them when the tracks are out. they have continually built their superchargers, keeping up with demand. this year with their incredible increase in vehicle production for the model 3 they have also increased their rate of new superchargers. See supercharge.info for some details. But it will still be hard for them to keep up with new vehicle production.

    So how will they charge the numerous trucks they've sold before the full Megacharger network is available? Will a truck roll into a Supercharger and take up half the chargers?

      Maybe early adopters will set up their own charging infrastructure? Seams feasible if you limit it to few routes.

        I'll bet Tesla's EULA forbids setting up your own Megacharger station.

          It would be stupid for tesla to reduce charging opportunities which are a crucial need for a new truck. an example of how telsa deals with this is that tesla sells adapters so you can charge a tesla at a high speed chademo charger today, and also for j1772. tesla asked for a higher amperage j1772 standard that any car manuf. can support but only tesla really uses it (80 amp 220v).
