Yes, you're right. I hadn't thought of it that way.This may be splitting hairs, but wouldn't the minimum charge be $2.40? You'd have to have been six minutes late to be beyond the five minute grace period.

Didn't ask earlier, but was the station at least half full when you finished charging. Did you receive notification that you would be charged idle fees at the time?Just got my X back from warranty work and didn't incur any idling fees. I even asked and they didn't have a clue.
Idled for 7 mins after fully charged.

I agree, the push notifications are no longer working. For either start charging, almost complete, etcI wish the app would be better about notifying you when the car finishes charging. The older version seemed to give me notifications (without audio), but the new version of the app on Android isn't even push the notifications about charging completion to my phone.
It seems pretty obvious that Tesla isn't going to charge you idle fees when the car is not under your control and the supercharging is being done at a service center.
He was referring to them charging you for the idle fees you have incurred when you take your car in for service.
Perhaps, but that wasn't at all clear from the language LuckyX used. This is exactly what LuckyX wrote:
"Just got my X back from warranty work and didn't incur any idling fees. I even asked and they didn't have a clue."
By using the word "incur" instead of saying something like "have to pay" it made it sound like LuckyX was talking about fees not being due based on what took place while the car was in for service.
I'll know on Friday. I was late 2 mins after my 5min grace period (occurred early January). So let's see if they charge me my $0.80 idle fee.
I'm sure I have enough pennies to handle the payment.
It's pretty obvious from the responses...or lack...in this thread that Tesla is not really charging idling fees yet. A stated policy not actually enforced with no teeth. Bummer.

It's likely this is just a temporary method until they have credit cards on file for existing owners, as they will for new owners to pay for charging beyond the first 400 kWh/yr.I've only followed this issue from afar since I never idle at superchargers and the superchargers in my region are never full when I've tried to charge/driven by. But if the accepted interpretation of the policy is that they will bill you at your next service center visit without giving you any notice of an infraction near the time of the infraction, I don't see how they can enforce this at all. They could be first notifying you that you broke the rules 10+ months later. That's not reasonable at all. Especially with a policy that's clear as mud.
I think you are right, sorka, they released the policy to scar people and are not actually enforcing this rule right now.
So you left the car unplugged but still parked at the supercharger for 5 hours? I hope Tesla reads this and charges you every minute of that idle fee.I was very scared I was going to get some this week. I was at our meijers charging when I seen the line for the Nintendo switch start to pile up. I didn't have time to unplug.I was there for almost 5 hours waiting.
Lucky for me me son was close by so he could unplug it for me he said that he ran up to the car to unplug it forgot that it was locked and when he was unplugging it another tesla driver yelled at him to get away from the car and leve it alone lol

There is never anyone there especially at 12 pm.I even asked my son he said one car was there. After so long they gave me a ticket for the Nintendo.Then I moved the car and when I did there was not one car there and when I left there was not one car there. It's in Ohio I have never ran into a full one.So you left the car unplugged but still parked at the supercharger for 5 hours? I hope Tesla reads this and charges you every minute of that idle fee.
