In the past two days, that local Fremont NextDoor thread has had 31 responses and has gone off the rails including this gem:
"There is no divider there. I use this road all the time. It is never affected my life. Maybe you should consider what is important in life."
I guess Wall Street doesn't like CEO's who use recreational MJ and they don't know about this:

Tesla too cheap to pay for storage???
I drive on Kato road in Warm Springs quite often and I see about 10-15 car transporters always parked on the side of the road carrying Teslas. This is a public road and by no means a parking lot. Tax payers pay for the upkeep and maintenance of this road. Why are we paying for Tesla to store it’s cars this way? Supporting small business is one thing, but surely Tesla can afford to pay for a large lot. The big vehicles actually cause a safety hazard on the road as they are all over the place. Does anyone know if the city has authorized this? Or is there a number we can call?

Tesla doesn't own the car carriers. I think individual drivers are parking their rigs on Kato Rd. Tesla has car storage depots all over the place. The one in Lathop, CA is being expanded. [see photo] I have no idea why the carriers are parking on Kato full of new Teslas instead of proceeding directly to their various distribution hubs?

I agree with Vilayanur. Tesla has the control on this to provide the carrier a parking space to park instead to park at the public street.

Russell, the carriers might be waiting so that as soon as they're legally allowed to run their trucks again they do so. The electronic tracking and related "safety" laws on truckers and their driving hours has gotten very, very overdone and results in unintended consequences. That being said, that only addresses a possible reason for why they're waiting. I agree with the others that generally this issue shouldn't be spilling over to public land

Tessa "had" plenty of property around it's plant they could have used for storage. They instead sold it off so outside developers could build thousands and thousands ....and thousands....of condos. Thanks alot.

Don't worry,soon there will be so much traffic the trucks won't be able to get to and from the plant. Tessa will start shipping the cars by train. Your parked truck problem will be gone.

Thank you for reporting. I drive on Kato Road daily also. Those carriers carrying so many Tesla cars are so heavy, yet they are parked on our public roads. So many heavy vehicles parked on the same section of the same road daily for hours over a long period of time will eventually cause damage to the road, such as cracks. Who will pay for this maintenance? The taxpayer. I agree that it is not fair to the City of Fremont to bear this burden when the carriers should be parked at Tesla's parking lots.

Did you try to contact Tesla first and ask them? I understand the frustration by why not start there and if you don’t get an acceptable answer, contact the city. It just seems like we are all on here debating a question that may have had a simple answer if asked directly to Tesla first.

Thanks for bringing up this issue on a public forum. Everyday the commuters using this road had to face a lot of congestion due to the undue parking space used by Tesla. This company which claimed, it would solve all ours energy problems, can't it afford a descent parking/storage place for its new cars?

You might try calling their Fremont store (510) 249-3500 which is located at Tesla Factory - where they should be storing these auto transporters before the drivers are ready to leave for the distribution hubs. The manager might be able to forward residents' concerns to the appropriate Tesla logistics manager. I've read they are having major logistics issues right now trying to delivery all the Model 3's coming out of the factory on time to their customers. When driving the I-880 N on-ramp from Mission Blvd recently I've noticed ~20 auto transporters being loaded in their main outbound logistics lot. See this photo from yesterday:

We care because so many trailers on the road are causing congestion and a traffic hazard. I’ve seen folks trying to avoid the trailers and going onto the divider. The truckers are welcome to stay in the hotels. Great for business! But Tesla should offer them a place to store load and unload the trucks. It affects my life and many others who use this road. Thanks

Suresh, this might be useful for you:
https://fremont.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1238/Vehicle-Parking-QA?bidId= " If your vehicle is longer than 20 feet, you may park in the street to load and unload for short periods of time, but overnight parking is prohibited." The auto transporter is longer than 20 feet, but this August they did overnight parking daily on the weekdays. The regulation is known as oversized vehicle parking prohibitions. I think if regulations are not followed, they eventually may cause problems for the community. An example of this is that a few months ago, a Tesla employee crashed into my minivan with my children inside right on this very street (Kato Road). She then sped off. Luckily, a nice man in a tow truck helped me chase down this employee inside the Tesla parking lot and Tesla security guards were called on the situation. It turns out this employee was an underage girl with no drivers license. Driving on the road without a drivers license is a safety hazard. I am immensely grateful that my children were not harmed because she was driving at around 35 miles per hour and crashed directly into me. I'm not sure why Tesla hired an underage employee without a drivers license on Kato Road, perhaps they were very busy with production and needed many employees, but in any case, if regulations are not followed, they will cause problems later on.

Ninad Narkhede...I am totally civil and no way asked for your advice or Jon’s on what should be important in life for me or for the others on this thread. Your comments seem to focus more on what we should or should not be considering important in life and so you made it personal. So i responded. And perhaps u cannot stomach it or know the difference? And for sure it wasn’t a rant. If you have an opinion on who can park and when and what the laws are I will respect it and take it into consideration. I am making an effort here to contact folks who can help solve this .....unlike u who sits on the sidelines and tries to call people out. If you contribute here just to offer judgement without providing solutions or a meaningful approach then u are not being civil. Why are you even contributing to this thread if it’s not an issue for you? This shows me you have nothing constructive to add... I won’t waste my time responding further to personally aimed opinions from folks like you. It is a waste of time and not constructive to this thread and all of u on it... thank you!

Some people do not seem to understand, why 20 odd people are discussing this topic. I use this road everyday from Dixon landing to Warm Springs. The commute used to take 7 to 10 mins, but from past few weeks, after these carrier vehicles were started to park next to the road it takes around 20 minutes or more. Which in turn increases my overall travelling time. The objective of discussion here is to see if we can do something about this? Since, this is causing inconvenience to people like me, we can definitely demand Tesla (A listed billion dollar company) to provide descent parking space for its vehicles.

Hilarious, post author deleted my two comments to take a jouvenile jab. Anyways, won’t be feeding that anymore. Yup just confirmed for those that really care that the truckers with cars loaded have lodging agreement with the motel and are considered legal parking. For all that matters their sleep keep roads safe. Empty ones are considered road side parking and Tesla still has no legal or implied involvement.

Alright, thanks guys.. I think it's established that the truckers are parked there legally but we also agree that it's not safe for those many trailers to be parked roadside especially on a winding road that it's on. I also observed that during peak times right turning traffic slows down due to less space curb side. If most of us feel this way, we can call the city and put in a complaint about this. Legal or not, this is a genuine concern.

Maybe we should all slow down over there today and ogle over the brand new Teslas on those trailers, pose and click pictures etc.. Maybe that will make them move them out of the road ha ha! Just kidding!

Morning. Just fyi, it is irrelevant what agreement the truckers have with the motel. The city and state, not the motel, dictate what the law/ordinance is for parking on public roads ( which includes shoulders). Have a great wkend neighbors!!!

As a TSLA shareholder I'm thrilled this guy always sees 10-15 car transporters staging here!
BTW, Kato Road is two lanes. It runs on the east side of I-880 between the factory and the seat factory, with other companies in between. It's totally non-residential. As far as I'm concerned, it should be renamed "Tesla Road"!
