Allowing someone to unplug you?

[evfeh]

There is presently no way to allow this. For 99.999% of Tesla owners, staying locked is the prefered behavior.

yep, I wouldn’t trust a stranger calling me to unlock my car.

That’s one of the sillier things I’ve heard on this forum. I don’t do it always, but a few times I’ve left a card in my window when I knew I was going to be blocking a destination charger for longer than I actually needed it (like overnight at a hotel for example). I had someone take me up on it once - they texted, I remotely unlocked charge port, they were eternally grateful. Everybody wins.

Being even the slightest bit kind and accommodating goes a long way.

Just yesterday we were in key west at the margaritaville parking garage. There is a model x in there plugged in to one of two j1772s. The other unit wasn’t working. I admit I stole his plug... and then had to power cycle the evse to get it to work. I plugged him back in when we left. I’d seen him there the day before when we were walking around scoping out stuff so I figured he wouldnt mind

This is exactly the situation I started this thread for... the only reason we were able to charge yesterday was because he used the 1772 adapter. Sure would be nice if there was a way to leave the charge port unlocked or have a Tesla to Tesla adapter

I’m not sure I would like someone “borrowing” my charge time when my car was being charged. Understandable if perhaps the guy was a major squatter, but otherwise seems a bit dubious.

His evse was tripped and not working. I reset it, used for a while and left him ina better state than he had been.

Probably best to leave him a note explaining that
