First post of a long time lurker here so be nice
Just wondering what the etiquette is of using destination charging. To me, politeness says you should be a customer of some description, I've seen people turn up, plug in and sit in the car or wander off and not buy anything which seems a little rude. Obviously you don't leave it plugged in for longer than you should and move when done and dont use the non tesla ones unless you have to that kinda thing.
But if so, what is the polite amount of custom. E.g you turn up to a hotel/spa etc to charge, do you buy a coffee, a meal, reserve the chargers for overnight stays etc? What if the place is closed and you are not in dire straights, do you charge anyway or move on?
I like to at least buy as much as it would cost the location in electric on a standard KWh rate so they don't really lose out(Often i'll spend a lot more than that) , but I guess it's in the same sort of thing as leaving a tip, but curious to know others thoughts on the matter.
Thanks
