Hi guys, if all goes well I'm picking up a Model S in 3 week's time. One of the things I want to see is if my own time tables when I plan to bringing the car to a Supercharger is considered "off peak hours".
Which days and hours do you bring your car in for a Supercharging? And at which Supercharger? I'm not counting the other public EV charging, only Supercharging.
Not sure how to make a poll on this, but maybe you can leave your comments and then I'll combine the answers and update?
Also, how many times (say X times out of 10) do you pull into a Supercharging parking lot and find that all Superchargers are occupied?
Hopefully this helps owners down the road. It would also be nice if Tesla added a function to the phone app to access cameras installed at the Superchargers so that we can see if they are occupied before heading for the parking lot.
Also, I'm a bit confused: Tesla sent out a notice to US owners that they should treat Supercharging stations as for the purpose of long-range travel only (ie not supposed to use it for just getting a freebie charge) because they were becoming too tied up by people looking for a free charge than someone on their way from Seattle to LA who needs to charge ASAP so they can continue their trip. For Hong Kong I guess this rationale doesn't really stand (until they open up the border to direct drive across to the mainland). So it's acceptable to get all your charges from Superchargers in HK?
