As rhythm raced inside, the ship came alive
The current charges are positively shocking! I'm trying not to be negative, but it's hard to be neutral about this issue....and beware of those charges...

I'm a little confused...
Doesn't the Tesla app show the state of charge and the time remaining?
I've Supercharged on twenty or twenty five trips and never been late back past full charge. Plan bathrooms, coffee, and meals around charging times.
The time I charged at Mt Shasta and stayed at the Treehouse Inn Hotel, I charged for about 30 minutes while checking in (at about 9 PM) going to the room and unpacking. Went back to the car and moved it from the charger (mostly charged) and finished charging in the morning before leaving.
I was the only car there when I arrived but there were three cars there in the morning. I think that more may have passed thru during the night. Never considered leaving it plugged in longer.
I'm not sure that we're worried a lot about a non-problem here. I'm happy to pay the fee (which i never intend to need to do) if it helps congestion at Superchargers.

As I was reading the last handful of posts going over the same points (yet again) I was planning on saying the exact same thing, but you did it in a much nicer way than I had intended.One of the reasons this thread drags on and the same arguments are repeated is that new people join in without reading the past conversation.
Security did nothing!
Are those stalls available for general parking?
I continue to disagree that a reasonable solution to "smirking" ICErs would be fining the Tesla drivers that park 6 minutes over actual charge. Somehow I have come to believe in addressing the real problem and punishing the actual culprit...
Maybe after the Christmas shopping rush is over and the spaces are empty, you could gather up a few of your Tesla friends and all go charge up there. That would trigger idle fees for the pretzel lady (more than 50% of stalls occupied) and maybe she'll get the message. Or you could all go to the pretzel stand and harass her.I want to be clear, I did not post this to say anything against what Tesla is doing with chargers who stay longer then needed. There are areas where this is clearly issue and their solution seems reasonable to me.
I wanted to highlight an issue I have seen at this location over and over again. The Tinton Falls outlet mall in NJ does NOTHING to stop ICEing these spots.
There is in fact one individual who I believe works at the Auntie Ann's Pretzel shop at that mall who drivers her red Model S and leaves it charging 8 hours a day!!!!
I never said anything because there is usually plenty of empty spots, but Please! You work here. Charge and move your car!

I've been concocting this idea for a while. We call ourselves the "Hell's Idlers," and yes, there are jackets. PM me for details.Maybe after the Christmas shopping rush is over and the spaces are empty, you could gather up a few of your Tesla friends and all go charge up there.

Stop it. You know quite well that there are in fact Tesla owners who are parking their cars in Supercharger spots and NOT charging and causing problems for others. YOU KNOW IT because people have told you it's happening. So stop talking as if it doesn't happen.
ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME. In this case, Tesla is taking the first necessary step to curb Supercharger abuses by Tesla owners. Get over it, already.
In due time Tesla will address other problems as they can. You're not helping by arguing ad nauseum how unfair it is to people. This is life where inconsiderate people ruin it for others. Suck it up and deal. Move your car when it's done charging. It's really just that simple.
