Stations seem to vary between 4 and 10 bays each. The "cross-country" route has quite a few rural stations with only 4 bays each, and sometimes several in a row.
Maximum 192 cars can thus pass the narrow part of the route each 24 hours.
Actual real-world capacity is going to be less, of course. Maybe a quarter of that (50) before you start running into waits. At 100 per day, you could almost guarantee a wait.
It'll be a while before there's 50 Teslas going through Mitchell, South Dakota per day. But 50 is nothing compared to the amount of other cars going though there right now. Tesla will be fine at their current level, but a large amount of electric cars with similar charging needs would require a lot of infrastructure. I think you'd need 800+ bay Superchargers to handle a modest 10,000 cars per day across a corridor. About the size of a WalMart Supercenter lot. I don't even want to calculate the power feed that'd need.
