Hey Uber and Lyft drivers - NO SUPERCHARGING!

[Vawlkus]

I’m honestly wondering if this is just a temporary measure designed to free up superchargers for the Model 3 roll out. Once they can put more superchargers out, I could see them rolling this back.

They can always pay to charge at a CHAdeMO station.

Also, I don't see where Tesla wanted to increase adoption of EVs for commercial purposes (other than for semis, which is a different subject). In this case, the commercial cars are causing an issue for the general public, which is why this policy has to exist.

Are you serious? Elon's Master Plan states a "Driverless" uber competitor "Tesla Network". Where your car works for you while you work.

Tesla literally advertises plans to create an uber like business with your tesla lol

Your point seems to be a red herring. Tesla's "network" is talking about driverless cars, which is a different case altogether, where theoretically the car can be made to charge at off peak hours on its own if necessary (and do things like automatically give up its spot). And no doubt the Tesla network will have its own terms and conditions that gives Tesla much more control over the situation.

That doesn't mean they want to support commercial drivers like uber or lyft drivers (in fact it's the exact opposite, they call out those two companies explicitly in the policy).

The Supercharger policy does say:

We encourage the commercial use of Tesla vehicles while using appropriate charging solutions. Please reach out to your local sales contact to explore vehicle and charging options that suit your needs.

The alternatives would no doubt include private Superchargers, at a an appropriate price.

Tesla still has not been able to figure out how to make rain sensing wipers work in AP2 which is over a year old at this point. I wish them luck trying to do what you just stated

Are you talking about a small billing charge or a small charge charge? Lol!
