I think this sounds a good idea.I'd buy a CHAdeMO adapter and use the EVgo charger at Coral Gables City Hall. You should be able charge at about 100 miles per hour there for days you need to charge quickly.
I don't think you need to worry about hurting the battery. The EVgo CHADeMO chargers are slower than superchargers, and even those are safe. Tesla is pretty conservative as for as chartering rates.I think this sounds a good idea.
I was reading that, I shouldn't do this too often since I could potentially hurt the battery. Is this correct?
I could potentially hurt the battery
Keep fighting.The association doesn't allow me. They are most old people and told me no
I'm in a similar boat as you are. Live in an apartment building with 0 charge prospects, been an owner of model S for a week now. Due to charging situations in my area solely rely on Supercharger 1-2 a week which is located 20miles 1 way. Don't let the situation dis-way you. It is manageable even thought it is a hassle.
FUD FUD FUD.You should be getting your nasty letter from Elon soon. They don't like the superchargers being used for anything other than long trips. If they notice you using the same supercharger repeatedly, they send a letter. I haven't heard what happens if you ignore it, but I imagine they could block your access.
The wouldn't have to shut it off. They could just block you from using the supercharger that, in their opinion, you are abusing.FUD FUD FUD.
They only send a letter once, to many people, half of whom didn't even use local superchargers. They have not and likely will not shut off a feature that you paid for.
Superchargers are also placed in metropolitan areas so apartment dwellers can charge IF they can't charge at home.

When I arrived at work, usually all 8 of the stations were in use, so I'd park my car, walk to my desk (5 minutes), then come back later to try again. Rats, still all busy. Rinse and repeat. Very frustrating.
Won't happen. Can you imagine the *sugar* storm that will come from them blocking someone from using a local SpC? You paid for it, you can use it.The wouldn't have to shut it off. They could just block you from using the supercharger that, in their opinion, you are abusing.
I agree. Nothing likely to happen. Doesn't mean they have to like it.Won't happen. Can you imagine the *sugar* storm that will come from them blocking someone from using a local SpC? You paid for it, you can use it.
We actually did something similar. One of the engineers worked with ChargePoint's API to put up a small website on his workstation that displayed the status of the 8 stations - in-use vs available, and if in use, how long the occupant had left (count-down from 4 hours). It wasn't something portable to the general public, so I didn't mention it before. Polling the ChargePoint site also worked (and from outside the company network), but his site had a better user experience.My wife used to charge her Volt at work. They set up an email list of all the EV owners. When anyone was done charging they would send an email and the next person moved their car into the charging spot.
It helped that they all worked for the same company, but it might be worth a try even if the chargers are shared between a few companies.
So guys I'd like your opinion.
I'm thinking on getting a model s (I'm between P70 and P90) and I have a daily commute of 50 miles.
The problem is that the association at my building doesn't allow me to install a charger.
Unfortunately I live on a building, and I park in a open parking space. The association told me no to install any charger.Let's explore your association problem a bit more.
Do you have your own garage?
If so, you can certainly plug in 120V there. 5 miles per hour of charging gets you 50 to 70 miles overnight. An occasional visit to the nearby supercharger would make up the difference. Even a carport may have a 120V outlet.
Is there washer/dryer hookup in your garage? If so, you probably have a 30A 240V dryer plug that will charge at 14 to 17 miles per hour.
If your garage outlets are not within 20 feet of the left rear of your car, just extend the line yourself and install a new outlet without telling the association.
Is your circuit breaker panel in the garage? Then install a new outlet from there without permission.
