That's why I said 6ft, not 10 ft. If you moved your car less than one car length, you're still in stall parking.Charging, as in IDLE fee charges? Someone could legitimately move the car 10ft from the "last" stall to a parking space adjacent to the last stall. I've also seen legitimate parking on the "back side" of the stalls. Tesla would have to not charge idle fees for that tiny move. But you just can't rely on GPS for that small a move reliably.
Back to the original problem. What is the incentive for these fleet renters to leave them in front of the stall unplugged in the first place. They are only shooting themselves in the foot by raising awareness.
Nobody would probably know this is even happening if they didn't leave the car there. Maybe they are less likely to get towed if "security" sees a Tesla in front of super charger. Regardless if it's plugged in or not.
As for your question why, many possible reasons I could come up with, for example:
- Free parking. Not sure where you live, but I don't have extra 6 parking spots on my driveway.
- You probably don't have 6 extra chargers are home either. Charging 6 cars a day is complicated at home.
- If you are renting, you have to recharge the cars. 6 cars, full charge once a day is 6 hours of your day. By parking the cars there, you just drive up for 5 minutes twice a day, once to plug them in, once to unplug. So 2 trips, no waiting at the SC, vs. 6 trips, 1hr waiting each time.
- You don't want people to come up to your house to pick the cars up. Just leave the key inside in a metal can and unlock remotely when customer shows up.
