I wonder if Tesla will start to increase/decrease the price of a SCer location in response to demand.
I was at Plainview, NY SCer nearly 2 weeks ago and it was the 1st time I had to "wait" for an available stall since back in the day at Syosset, NY SCer (which is no longer available to the public).
I put the word wait in quotations b/c I only waited several seconds (less than a minute) before a car pulled out and a stall became available -- so it ALMOST doesn't count as waiting... even though it technically is.
the same thing used to happen in Syosset, I'd pull up and all the SCer stalls would be occupied, but after a minute or two someone would come out and move their car so I can charge. that location always needed more stalls. and should be revived and expanded IMO.
Meanwhile, even with one SCer stall available, though, you still don't get great charging speeds.. which doesn't make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.. but at least you can charge.
I shudder to think what SCer congestion will do to extended multi-day road trips... I drove from NYC to to Naples, Florida 3 years ago and SCer congestion was almost not at all a problem.. (on the way home, heading north either Glen Allen, or Rocky Mount, VA -- I forget which at the moment -- had stalls that were covered in mounds of snow, or ICEd, or had other Model Ss charging. but we did find a stall we could use in the end.)
it made me sweat a little, being confronted with the reality of non-availability of SCers.. and having a bit of a schedule to adhere to.
also, the way home is never as fun as the way down.
