Thanks Larry I am already a member although haven't had a chance to attend an event yet.
To the folks that had issues and took pictures....I didn't take any photos but will next time.
All I can say is that we parked, plugged in, got the family out the car and took the stroller out the trunk and went to TooJays for lunch. Did not have any issue.
I imagine if you over reverse then maybe you would have a problem but I didn't. I wouldn't say there was a ton of slack to the charge cable but I wasn't straining to reach the car either.
I promise to have photographic evidence Next time

Huh...maybe they already set the signs back? I don't doubt you at all. Your MS doesn't have any different back end the NBKs and it does look close in the picture. Anyway...I'll be careful.
I took the picture.
I was also charging when I took the picture.
I also took a stroller out of the trunk right before I took the picture.
Its not an issue if you don't back up all the way up to the curb stop.
If you back all the way up to the curb stop, like you basically have to in estero, your trunk may hit the sign.
Just a warning.
Step 1 Back up to the charger
Step 2 Try to plug in and realize you're not close enough
Repeat Steps 1 & 2 as many times as needed :smile: (normally just once more, but sometimes twice)

Up is LOUDER
I think I have some info on the sign controversy. Station 4A sign is farther back than all the others. At that station you can back up to the curb and open your trunk but not at any of the other bays, you must be a few inches off the curb as indicated by the picture. Easiest solution is to move the curbs a few inches. The chargers will still plug in.
Another thing I found funny is all other curbs in that parking lot have been removed recently.

Yea but I don't know why they wouldn't set the stop at the tires where you can reach with the connector and not come close to the sign. That's the purpose of the stop. All they have to do is set the stop about a foot forward and its done.

Part of this likely because of holiday travelers that may be beginning their trek back up north.
I'm inclined to agree that the additional Supercharger traffic is probably attributable to the increased holiday traffic.
Nevertheless, I believe that Tesla is seriously considering adding another "Miami" area Supercharger Station not far from the Plantation Supercharger Station. If you look at the https://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger map for 2016 there appears to be a planned Supercharger pin in the Miami area.

I wouldn't be surprised if one opens up past Aventura (to alternate from East vs. West of SoFlo counties) and really close to where I-95 ends. It's a long way to the Keys from the Plantation Supercharger!
