EA is all I stop at since I pay for the discounted rate. Up the 5 here in SoCal EA the most common network. But yeah, we could still use about 10x more.

Me too and here in New York they are the only 350kwh ones , but on Long Island ( including Brooklyn and queens which are on Long Island ) we have 12 EA chargers for 8 million people . So the chargers are definitely more rare than the Lightnings

1 - Your'e in SoCal
2 - You're at an EV charging station.
2a - It's not a Tesla charging station.
3 - These things take forever to charge

So no I'm not really surprised at all.

What is rare is 3 EA charging stations side by side that all work.

Only dealers think everything is "rare" so they can hike up the price

Um no - that's incorrect.

When I took my Lightning with a group of 60+ EV on a road trip to Las Vegas, we all stopped in Baker, CA where EA had 350kW + 150kW chargers next to Tesla SC - we all charged up in under 30 minutes.

You need to fact check your info.
60+ EV road trip from IE to Las Vegas - Hoover Dam run

I took it to mean there are way more Tesla super chargers than EA stations. Which is a fact. It’s also a fact that you can charge from 20 to 80% in 30 minutes and it’s a fact that some people would say 30 minutes is a long time lol . all things can be true

I still haven't seen one outside of the dealership when I picked up my truck, and another dealership that looks to be their demo as it has been on the lot for over a month.

The demos should start officially selling around November after it passes the 6 month mark.

Soon, there will be no more demos that customers can look / test drive...

I've already seen five other Lightnings in the Buffalo, NY area. If the estimated MY23 build curve ends up being accurate, I assume I'll see Lightnings all over the place this time next year.

I guess the best place to catch a sighting of rare animal is to hang out where it feeds.

I've seen three on my campus in San Antonio...two at my building (personal and test vehicle) and another unknown AMB
