Tesla Motors Club
I would like to propose this situation to gather some thoughts on how to best face this type of scenario:
Let's say you are out with another person (that also has a Tesla) and decide to charge your cars together. You both arrive to a busy supercharger where there is only 1 stall available. You decide to plug one in and park the other one nearby and go shopping/eating at nearby mall with the thought that when your car is done, the other person can take your spot and charge their car.
Now you get a notification that the first car is almost done, so you both head over but find a long line of at least 6 people waiting for someone to leave. Like people are parked nearby with blinkers, as well as sharks going back and forth just waiting to rush in.
How would you go about avoiding world war 3 in transitioning and positioning the 2nd Tesla to take your spot in front of all the vultures eyeing your spot? Would anyone feel bad for "cutting" in front of others even if you didn't really? Would anyone be courteous enough to wait in this new "line"?
My thoughts would be to both hop into the second car, drive right in front of the first car so that everyone sees that you are both together, then swap cars.
If you were the one waiting 30 minutes for a spot to open, and someone drives up and swaps cars, would that anger you?
I would be grateful for any thoughts, especially insights if you were to take the views from both sides (you and a friend charging vs. waiting to charge).
