Dual chargers will allow you to charge at 80 amps, 240 volts. You can get this at J1772 chargers if they're enabled to provide that much current (as far as I understand). Or at your home, if you've got that much available.Dual Chargers are only helpful at home using the wall charger, correct?
I.e. You will get the same charge rate at a supercharger weather you have single or dual chargers on the car.....
Many of the "Destination Chargers" Tesla is installing are 80 amps. Also at the retail locations they often have 80 amp setups.Dual Chargers are only helpful at home using the wall charger, correct?

Dual chargers (which are for AC charging) are not relevant for Supercharging (which is DC).
Dual chargers come in handy any place where there's a HPWC (the "wall charger") or even a high-amp (> 40 A) J1772 station. Could reduce your charging time by upto half.

OK, please excuse the noob question...... Where are there high-amp J1772 staions? Are there any (many?) public stations like that?

One thing to keep in mind though about destination HPWC sites is that most of them are at inns or hotels where the typical stay is long enough to get a full charge from a 40A single charger.

Hmmm. Or due to this:Unfortunately the Dual Charger is no longer available as a factory installed option due to customer complaints and some misunderstanding about its usefulness when you can't use it every day at home with a HPWC or with the Universal Mobile Connector.

Here's some maps of California that illustrate the point.
These are the public Tesla High Power Wall Connectors

This looks good zoomed out when each location marker becomes the size of 30 miles on the map. It shows an unrealistic visual. Once you zoom in, they are actually pretty sparse. But the truth really shows once you click on each of these locations. The majority are hotels and resorts that allow charging only to guests which rules them out as normal charging stations, especially when you need to charge fast. So those really aren't available. And it's not like you need fast charging when you stay over night at a hotel. Living and Los Angeles I have never found easy access to an actual Tesla HPWC anywhere.
Well, if you want to get up at 2AM or wish to be awakened then to switch cars, more power to you. I don't, and I'm extremely doubtful that many people are. I'd have to be extremely desperate to sit in a queue for any level of AC charging, so I plan ahead to avoid such eventualities.You are being narcissistic, since there are a limited number of charge stations at any one destination .
It is more about sharing the limited resource as others are unable to charge because you are not worried about charge rate but more the faults economy of a single charger.
Someday you will be in the Queue and it will dawn on you that charge rate has more to do with convenience and sharing the resource that how much time you have.
IMHO, destination charging is headed for oblivion as more DC charging options become available, Superchargers, CHAdeMO(if they can make it work) and SAE Combo.
