Of course... except since you are a founders series commenter on this thread I would expect you to know that Tesla is in no way providing these chargers for me, I'll be paying completely out of pocket. But hey... out of the goodness of my heart, I may just gift charging to the community.
No it's not. It just has to be installed in a prominent location. Sites are not required to provide free power to their patrons, though most do.
interesting, could you describe how a tesla destination charger would metered in order to collect a fee?
and? is that a fee for charging? those destination chargers are put in places like hotels and restaurants for the convenience of the patrons of those businesses the businesses didn't install the chargers to provide opportunity charges for all.
How the site collects the fee is irrelevant. My point was Tesla does not require the site to provide the power for free as a condition of receiving the HPWC, as you claimed. Most sites do not charge. I recall reading a post here recently about a B&B that was charging a fee for guests to use it. I assume the B&B owner would know whose car it was. A winery near Austin had charged but then allowed use for free with minimum purchase. The Holiday Inn Express in Williams AZ (Grand Canyon) charges guests $25 to use the destination chargers. Etc., etc.
