At 3:45PM, 16 of 16 in use. As soon as another arrived, one left to free their spot, so the new one waited about 20 seconds for a spot. So not much waiting, at least.
Thanks
@JPP for explaining the problem. I hadn't kept track of current events that could possibly impact travel. As luck would have it, I have to hand deliver something to Pacific Grove today. I'll try to get enough here at Gilroy to make it there and then home since I'm already here charging.
As I edit this message, the SuperCharge speed has been quite good, and I already have enough to go the whole way there then home. Obviously staying was the wise choice.
Just spotted a beautiful brown Tesla from Oregon.

As an aside, yesterday I ran into range trouble. Thursday & yesterday I had a good experience at my first visit to Sunnyvale Service Center, until I was on my way home yesterday (Friday) and ran out of range in the mountains. I had a long day so bypassed my storage where I had temporarily kept my Chademo Adapter, so when I got to the summit EVGO, I looked in my trunk and realized my mistake. Reminder: always keep your Chademo Adapter with you, even if it means fumbling the thing in and out of loaners and such. What a pain. When will Tesla release their D.C. charging standard to third parties?
With estimated -2% arriving at home, I stopped with 2% at a newly built cult compound in a forested area that was on the ChargePoint map near Scotts Valley, and after getting a little freaked out by the odd activity there after +2%, I made my way down to a destination charger at the bottom of the hill at a hotel parking lot where I accidentally snoozed off in the driver's seat and came to with +10%, more than enough to get home.
Anyway, the other lesson is to confirm with Service Centers to plug in the car for overnight stays. The extra distance I had to drive to take the car to service was enough to put it beyond my normal daily commute range, and it's the first time a service center left the state of charge of my car so low.
Just because I make mistakes doesn't mean I should allow other people to make mistakes: I need to always confirm they have taken appropriate steps. I also should pay more attention to my charge level when I'm not in a very regular driving pattern. And I should remember to bring my Chademo into loaners and temp vehicles.
