At least locally it seems Tesla has blocked third party access to some of the most busy/crowded superchargers to help mitigate this issue.

I think (100% could be wrong) the member EA price on my last trip was $0.43/kW. Two charges and the membership was covered for the month.EA can easily be double the price if not more because I believe they have a flat rate of $0.56/kW rate nationwide. So I think people will be more apt to use the Tesla superchargers over EA unless they still have some free charging from the manufacturer.
That makes sense*. Pass+ discounts 25%. 75% x $0.56/kWh = $0.42/kWh. Close to $0.43/kWh.I think (100% could be wrong) the member EA price on my last trip was $0.43/kW. Two charges and the membership was covered for the month.
The old Elon seemed to care. The new Elon is probably amused. BTW, rumor has it Ford drivers are being told to park across two spaces to make it obvious that the space to the left is useless for a Tesla. Sure am glad I seldom Supercharge. Bring snacks when you Supercharge to watch the inevitable fisticuffs.This is going to make tesla owners who are waiting for a spot very upset.
Actually.... this is the guidance from Tesla.The old Elon seemed to care. The new Elon is probably amused.

What tesla also needs to do is tell ppl that IF it’s available and accessible, park on the OTHER side of the SC.. so not in the truly designated spaces, but on the OTHER side. That way it only uses the ONE SC that is in use, and not park across TWO parking space and boxing out essentially both SC for Tesla or other non tesla EV.Actually.... this is the guidance from Tesla.

This makes me wonder if Tesla is shifting their charging priorities from current Tesla owners to non Tesla EV owners. Tesla already has our $ from the vehicle purchase, but new non Tesla EV owners are paying either a membership fee or higher charging rate. A new expected revenue stream of $10 billion annually is a big deal for any company. It would make sense to cater to this new high volume high profit demographic.Actually.... this is the guidance from Tesla.

Unless they crack down on people hogging spaces and essentially require you to buy a cord for certain cars.This makes me wonder if Tesla is shifting their charging priorities from current Tesla owners to non Tesla EV owners.

The extension cords from Tesla and other companies will help with the parking problem, but I don't know how many average (non enthusiast) ev owners will be willing to shell out $300 - $700 for one.
