Retroactive cost for Idle charges

[SomeJoe7777]

If Tesla had reliable self-parking on private property and robo-snake SC - both promised by Elon back when AP1 was announced, this wouldn't be a problem - the car would simply unplug itself and park. Idle fees are just a problem created by Tesla not delivering on Elon's promises. He had it perfectly planned out.

He still has it perfectly planned, just not perfectly executed.

Fair post, @SomeJoe7777. I will try to avoid any tit-for-tat and leave it at that.

One note:

The estimated time in the app and the center console may indeed not be accurate, but in almost 100% of cases, the estimate is optimistic. In other words, if you plug in and the car says that the charge will take 25 minutes, you can be nearly certain it will never be less than that. If you're back at the car 25 minutes later, you will virtually never be charged an idle fee. Use this method if you don't have your phone or you aren't getting reception.

There have been several reports on TMC that the estimates have been wrong in the other direction too. Just noting that I can't quite agree with this quote...
