I recently stayed at a hotel with a Tesla destination charger. I arrived at 3 PM. I wanted 100% for the next day.

If I had started it charging right away, it would have been done around 8 PM. I know it's okay to leave it at 100% for the 12 hours until the next day, but I didn't want to do that.

I could have scheduled it to finish charging the next morning, but I wasn't totally confident that that would work.

So, what I did was started it charging right away, but throttled back the charging rate so that it would finish the next morning.

One problem was that I was hogging the destination charger in case someone else wanted to use it. I put this placard on the dashboard:

But perhaps I should have charged up to 100 and unplugged so it would be available for others.

Any other tips or etiquette suggestions regarding destination chargers?

Thanks.
