Non Tesla on a supercharger?

[Tony Hoyle]

If tesla did that they'd kill their own market.. the big advantage they have is the supercharger network.. it's why many people buy teslas at all. It's certainly not for the build quality or customer service..

Just physically it wouldn't work. Superchargers are designed so they plug in on the back left.. they have fairly short cables that allow you to do that. Other cars have charge ports in all sorts of places and many couldn't use a supercharger without parking across it or blocking it for teslas.

Yep. ID.3 charge port rear right (our passenger) wing, opposite of ours. The only way they could charge without refitting the supercharger (not impossible especially after last years CCS rollout) is reversing in then using the wrong supercharger.

It would be utter chaos.

Wouldn't surprise me if the sales staff doing anything to secure a sale - yes you can use a tesla supercharger, yes you can use chademo (when they've got a CCS port), yes putting the charging cable in a potato will give you an extra 10 miles range in case of emergency! If it's not dodgy sales tactics it could be complete lack of knowledge on EV's and charging infrastructure etc.

this, definitely.

Tesla bug allows other electric cars to charge for free at new Superchargers - Electrek

Swiftly fixed I think. On the 13th or 14th
