I’ve never used a Tesla charger, my car can’t without an adapter. But the commenter made a claim about super chargers, Tesla’s proprietary charging network, specifically and it sounded like the info came from a PR promise Tesla made that isn’t true in a practical sense.
I’ve had no problems charging my car on road trips, but it has mostly been in e.g. Ford dealerships outside of towns with nothing to do but sit in my car.
I’m same in reverse. I’ve never had problems finding Tesla superchargers on any trips. Most of them seem to be at shopping centers or malls, so there is usually something to do, but the trip planner usually schedules only 15-20 minutes so there’s little extra time
I do see other brands and tried one once to make sure I could, only to discover I didn’t have the right adapter
I have no idea where OPs claim came from but I do know there are a lot and they’ve been everywhere I’ve needed them. While rural areas won’t have any, even then most road trips will pass populated areas that will. Large unpopulated parts of the western us may be a different story
Fwiw the nearest supercharger to me is adjacent to a gas station on a service road immediately off the highway. However I have no reason to ever try one so close when I can charge at home. Was it New Jersey that had them at some rest areas until the state auctioned off the contract to a vendor that had them removed
