If there were several trucks with good ol’ boys that would of been a different story. We have to pick our battles and it has more to do with educating the public. We’d be surprised how little knowledge the general population has of evs. I was very impressed when I was shopping during the holidays at the main mall in Moncton that the chargers where never iced even though parking was full. The Tesla signs at Lincoln SC are all reserved for charging only and not for 30 min parking option. I think half of Aulac SC are for general parking.
They’re on the far side of the parking lot. 
I think Tesla should be notified in cases like this. Not to cause trouble for the driver if he was just doing what he was told, but to make it clear that these are not parking spots, they are "filling" spaces, just like a gas pump. If Tesla contacts the owner to ask them to avoid this kind of thing, it may nip it in the bud. It would carry more weight than a driver contacting them. There may even be a clause in the contract with Tesla saying the property owner needs to keep the spaces clear.Oh, those spots are NOT prime ones.
Someone has reached out to the General Manager, but I don’t have any details yet. Hopefully that’ll change by the end of the week.
Contacting Tesla about this would be pointless IMHO. It’s not really an issue they’re equipped to deal with. If the chargers malfunction, then that’s their wheelhouse. The land is the property owner’s to do with as they please, so all Tesla could do is the same thing we’re already doing: getting in touch with the site management.
There is definitely language about this in the leases, but it's more along the lines of "Tesla and the property owners will discuss and come to some agreement about how to appropriately address the issue," it doesn't lay out explicit requirements for the owners to do X, Y, or Z.
The thing to keep in mind here is this: the property owner may do what they want with their own land.
Nonsense. The property owner has signed a contract with Tesla which has given Tesla certain rights AND entailed certain obligations on the property owner. Included within those leases are terms setting out the owner's obligation to ensure what is agreed upon as suitable access to the spaces for Tesla's customers (i.e. drivers) and recourse for Tesla in the event that such access isn't being properly maintained at an appropriate level. We as 3rd-party individuals may have no right say otherwise, but Tesla most assuredly does. Which is why contacting Tesla and making the problem known to them is the correct procedure. If you feel like it, by all means, try to get more immediate relief by approaching the owners/managers directly. But if they brush you off or you just don't feel comfortable doing that, then also talk to Tesla as they are the party with the contract. In the end, it's up to them to see that their rights are protected.
Tesla’s agreement only pertains to getting space to place the chargers and to ‘share’ the power bill. The physical space remains the owners. I say this having been involved with alerting the Irving Managment and the landowner themselves regarding an incident late last year.
And I, trusting that Tesla's lawyers aren't complete and total morons as well as having actually read multiple copies of Tesla's standard proposal lease agreements for supercharger installations, tell you that you're categorically wrong.
