SuperChargers in model 3 what about the queues
charging will be included or be optional
very unlikely pay per charge
what about the queues
we know that tesla plan a software update to track how busy a super charger is.
in addition I expect ability to reserve your place in the queue to charge when you arrive.
Also if you have autopilot enabled, maybe any tesla can park in a waiting bay, and will move itself get charged and move back.
we know snake chargers that automatically connect are in development.
if all that I predict comes to reality and the tesla software can calculate everyone's battery charge requirements, the charge time, they can say it will take xx mins to charge inc wait time when you arrive.
you will know before you arrive at the charger how long a wait approx it will be before you leave.
IMAGINE THIS
You leave at 9.30am you know you plan to stop in about 2.5 to 3 hours at a charge station you reserve your charge spot, on screen the est charge inc wait time is 30 mins so maybe you have lunch or a coffee, toilet break.
Now you arrive you park in the waiting bay, the car moves and charges itself, you get an alert on your phone, charging has started and will complete by 12.30, when you come out your car is back in the waiting bay, so charge bays are always clear.
You arrived after 170miles with about 20% battery at the station, and leave with 85% battery charged, effortless just as telsa planned it.
