Yep, it is. This article has a slightly more balanced look at what we're seeing.
First seen Cybertruck charging curve disappoints, but is that the whole story?
We now have of a Cybertruck charging in the wild, and Tesla's new 4680-format cells show disappointing charging speed, but could it improve?

You know if they update their chargers? There is a Sheetz in Cumberland off I-68 I stop at to pee all the time. They have had a charger bank for a good while, just curious if they are still likely to be the old Gen 1 or updated.Yep, it is. This article has a slightly more balanced look at what we're seeing.

No idea. The newest ones rolling out are V4. How often they update old ones, I dont know.

However, using the "Find Us" feature on the Tesla website, where you car scroll a map or add a location, there are two in that area. The one at Sheetz is up to 250kw, while the one just to the west of town is an older one only capable of 150kw.
Looking into it, the newest gen, the V4s are just rolling out. New stations adding them to some station that already have chargers. These are the ones that wll be the best for the CT, as it can feed that 800 volts straight up.
Whats nice about that is that you can click and see how many stalls and power levels. In the car, these appear on the nav screen and also include information on how many stalls are in use, cost, and nearby amenities. When I was in Jax it offered me three different chargers and I could just tap the one I wanted.

Its actually the one in LaVale, a couple miles west that I was interested in.

The chargers here are behind the Sheetz, I kept wondering why so many electric cars were going into a gas station before I saw the chargers between the store and the side of the hill.
After checking out the website I'm actually surprised there aren't more chargers.

When over 85% of folks are doing daily charging from home, then you generally need them for trips, that's why you can see major routes outlined by chargers. So they will never be like gas stations. Of course, your apartment and condo dwellers, that's where things get interesting. And where inductive charging might be best.

I looked up my hometown, because it is where a major interstate and a cross country US road cross, it's also the wealthiest area around with a thriving mall that people come from an hour away to shop at. There is also a regional airport there. I was very surprised that the closest Tesla branded charger is 35 miles away. I've seen their chargers in some unexpected, out of the way places.When over 85% of folks are doing daily charging from home, then you generally need them for trips, that's why you can see major routes outlined by chargers.

Was also surprised that Harris Teeter has the only ones "down here".

Where is that at?
Down here, well, remember, the real point to these is to get you charged on your way places. So a peninsula not on the way to anywhere, do you need more? You see them in Waldorf and along 301.
The network isn't static, though, its constantly expanding. There's a Gigafactory in New York dedicated to cranking them out. And the new model is prefabbed units already in concrete bases. Set up mains power, excavater hole, truck with multiple Superchargers pulls in, drop in the whole, hook up the mains and the new station is ready. Biggest hurdle is land or right of way acquisition and permitting.
Slow Joe spent billions on other networks through the states, one has been built.

A look at the specifics of Tesla’s Q1 Update Letter reveals an electric vehicle maker that is steadily becoming a mainstream automotive company. While Tesla’s gross margin in the first quarter was lower year-over-year, key aspects of its business, such as the Supercharger Network, are still growing at an incredible pace.
According to the Q1 2023 Update Letter, Tesla’s Supercharger stations saw a 33% growth year-over-year, from an already impressive 3,724 stations in Q1 2022 to 4,947 in Q1 2023. Considering that the number of Supercharger stations in the fourth quarter of 2022 was listed at 4,678, Tesla appears to have set up 269 new stations in the first three months of 2023.
The growth of the Supercharger Network becomes even more prominent if one were to examine the number of connectors that Tesla has deployed to date. In Q1, Tesla’s total Supercharger connectors deployed were listed at 45,169, a 34% year-over-year increase from Q1 2022’s 33,657.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Tesla’s Supercharger connectors were listed at 42,419. This suggests that from January to March 2023, Tesla was able to deploy 2,750 new Supercharger connectors. And considering that the first quarter of 2023 only had 89 days, Tesla appears to have deployed about 30 new Supercharger connectors per day during the first quarter.

I figured with all the geeks down here that we have a fairly good percentage of owners that they would have a charger along RT 4 in Calvert too.
COE Trucks maybe lowered or a mash up of a PU frame and bed with a COE Cab and Front Clip
