I live on the west coast of the US and am about 3.5k miles into a Model Y. I charge at home, but the few times I have needed a SuperCharger it's been an easy process and a brief stop. I've yet to find a Supercharger location without available chargers and I have yet to find one that is non-functional.
I have a friend who lives in the south of the UK who comes across as `anti BEV' (& rabidly anti-Tesla). Our conversations include comments like `not wanting to spend half my life drinking unwanted cups of coffee while paying 80p per Kwhr on a fast charger, IF I can find one and IF it's working'. I am well aware that the Tesla is a `domestic' brand and that in the US we might be blessed with a better than average infrastructure, but Youtube Channels like Rsymons imply that the UK is also reasonably well served. I'd be curious as to
a) whether the UK network is as crap as is communicated, or b) whether it is perhaps a perception based upon non-Tesla charging network that might be less well developed?

just curious....
