But charging at a regular charger would take 5-6x longer.

You can purchase a three-phase 230V / 80A wall charging station from Tesla.

If you are running a fleet and need a lot of capacity, then you can throw money at Tesla and get a private supercharging deployment (they've done it before).

Almost all regular charging happens overnight, with no one waiting.
But if car is resource not to be wasted it would be driving Uber pax 24/7 minus charging and maintenance. Maybe 3 drivers per car. Sure, fewer pax at 5am but probably dependent on what city/market.
Yes for regular use, but if you want to use the cars commercially, supercharging will in many cases be better/much faster.
