Important they build new stations to meet demand increases. Being able to actually charge is a key reason to go Tesla right now.

And, from reactions to this on Reddit, super chargers are already often crowded in the western US. EM has said before that, if they open the network to other EV manufacturers, they’ll want some cash so that they can expand the network to deal with that higher demand.

Yah Midwest has lots of capacity. Seems like CA doesn’t, but I don’t live there so cannot vouch.

CA has superchargers that have 50+ stalls.. it's not that they don't have a lot of capacity -- it's that damn near everyone has a Tesla.

>it's not that they don't have a lot of capacity

How can you say that any number of anything is 'a lot' when you're specifically not considering demand? What does it even mean for there to be 'a lot of capacity' in a sense divorced from relative demand? 'A lot' only has meaning in relative terms.

Ok, they have so much demand for Tesla's they cant keep up with it but have massive superchargers in plenty of locations. Fair enough? :)
