At Rocklin supercharger today, I noticed several supercharging cables fell from the dock and just laid touching the floor. Apparently, the magnets are getting old and when windy, the connector is prone to dislodging from the dock.
After my car finished charging, I placed the connector back in the locked magnet position. Two seconds later, after I already opened my driver door, the connector drops and hits my car body, causing the slightest dent and scratches.
I bring this to the center manager's attention and ask for something to wipe/buff away the scratches. She claims the superchargers are not her responsibility and says that I will have to schedule a $97.50 service for them to attempt to clear the scratch. Honestly, I will spend my own time to detail the scratches, while reminding myself that:
1. Tesla is more interested in making money rather than helping me.
2. Tesla misses the finer details, such as properly maintaining their supercharger wands.
3. I have experienced a few premium products, and can say that Tesla's customer service is at the level of a 2-star hotel, at best.
An hour ago, I dropped by the Reno downtown supercharger, which opened a couple months ago. The supercharger magnets there definitely stick better. Either these have a new magnet or the Rocklin connector magnets have degraded noticeably.
