Thanks Paul I haven’t either, the trailer sticks out obstructing gas station traffic so you have to detach the boat (and With a heavy tongue might need a wheel dolly). I saw online some folks charging with campers behind their Y but maybe found special charging stations. I found one that could work with a trailer in Woodstock, md at Walmart but not at Sheetz.
Things may well be different in your area but I have had no trouble SuperCharging while pulling a trailer. The back up plan has always been to unhook from the trailer but I've done that only once. That once in Normal IL where the SuperCharger is on the 3rd floor of a parking garage. I was staying in the area over night so left the trailer at the hotel when I went to charge. At many other SuperChargers, one "pull in forward" slot is available and the trailer can be left as a slight traffic obstruction. Other SuperChargers can be little used so that a car with trailer can occupy about three slots without inconveniencing other chargers. There ARE SuperCharger sites that can not accommodate trailers. SuperChargers are now dense enough (about every 50-100) miles that you can likely choose only trailer friendly sites even considering reduced range while towing.
I despair at the FSD negativism coming from those with little to no Tesla experience. I find full value in the cost. I've paid $5k for FSD but will pay $10k (or more) for the option on my next car. I do have Tesla owning friends that chose not to buy FSD; they generally do not drive often. FSD cost may well be justified by the safety. While using FSD, your probability of being involved in an accident is less than half if not using. But the primary attraction of FSD is reduced stress and increased driving comfort.
