Yeah, I've done a couple road trips and I think I've gotten lucky so far. Usually, the charging stations are at only about half capacity, but one time I got to a 12-stall Supercharging station and there was only 1 stall left, and within one minute of me plugging in, two more Teslas arrived and had to park and wait.
I've heard that in some areas in California, they've been known to have lines a dozen cars deep, but that was a couple years ago. There's constantly new construction of Supercharging stations, and Tesla just released a CCS adapter, so things are getting better.
Still though, it's a race between EV manufacturing and charging installation.
What really needs to happen is 250 kW EV chargers at highway rest stops. It sucks when I plug in to charge, and the local businesses are either closed or their bathrooms are closed.
