Never had any issues here in Norway, but I only charge on superchargers. Are the others really that bad?

  This was all superchargers. Across two different providers no less. Yet not all of them, so it wasn't a common cause as such. edit: This was one of the worse cases, but it's not infrequent I experience at least one charger at a station out of service. I would say it's rather seldom I charge on a station where all chargers work.

  Tesla reliability is much, much, better than any other network. In the nearly seven years that I've been driving my Model S in eight countries the car has never directed me to a charging station that wasn't working. Sometimes it doesn't count out of order stalls correctly but that just means waiting a bit longer for another car to finish charging; even that is exceedingly rare. Out of interest I occasionally try to charge at a non-Tesla charger and the experience is dismal with a roughly 50% failure rate. Sometimes the charger won't start, sometimes the payment system won't accept my credit card, sometimes the app doesn't work, sometimes the touchscreen is simply not functioning. But things are definitely improving in the UK at least. But another problem is that the cost of charging at many motorway service station fast chargers makes refuelling about as expensive as driving an ICE car. Tesla is noticeably cheaper than the other networks.
