... Future Chevrolet's charging at Tesla SC's will just overload the system even more. ...
I am mostly a home charger and will be onto my next S in 3 years before NY has these issues. I guess I will just enjoy it while it lasts
You do know that ALL ev owners are "mostly a home charger" right? Over 90% of the kWh's come from home or work.
If they go with the prepaid KwH plan as suspected they are going to have to have at least a small call center to handle the calls for that so having it also handle complaints for idling charged would make sense. And, hopefully, the longer it is implemented the more people will adjust their behavior and reduce their idle time.And I do not see Tesla having a call center to handle such disputes over these putative fines for staying too long.
Never happen - it goes against all their goals of getting people to use BEVs for all their driving. You're going to give someone $20 off their next service call if they don't take the family on vacation? Or for taking their family on vacation in an ICE? What about all the people that have to use the SC network for work, they get penalized for doing their jobs?You are thinking backwards. The carrot works better than the stick.
Every week you DON'T use Superchargers, you get $20 MuskBucks. Up to $750 a year.
MuskBucks can be used at the Tesla Service Center, Parts, or car purchases.
Every condo has electricity to the building. Same with apartment buildings. You just have to work harder to get that electricity to your parking spot. Here is an example of what can be done when you try.People do not understand how many apartments and condos there are in urban areas. Many don't even allow 120v charging. Luckily, these folk seldom buy BEVs. But they are your biggest threat, not existing cars that aren't using remote charging to begin with.
No, then your not charging it based on actual usage. If I'm going on vacation for a week and get a week pass but only use it once or twice I'm not getting very good value as compared to the family that uses it every day for their vacation.Daily, monthly or yearly passes will probably work a lot better with blackout dates during heavy travel days. Charging in minute increments is silly IMO
I don't see that happening either, that would be Tesla just giving away money.Tesla should also buy back access from existing owners. I know a lot of owners who rarely use Supercharging access and would probably downgrade to limited access for free maintenance or some other intrinsic perk.
Why? There is nothing that says SC can't be used for local people. In fact, there are quotes out there where Elon even recommends it.Charge the cars that live within X radius of a supercharger, i.e. Discourage local charging.
I think there are valets at only a few locations though.Maybe the "valets" can start doing a survey asking people why they are charging.
1. Out of town?
2. No place to charge at home?
3. Don't want to charge at home?
4. Place to park and leave all day while you work?
5. Etc.
Then Tesla can manage the issue.

I don't believe you would be able to unlock the charge cable - would you?I have an idea... have a set of these in your car
There's no lock... you just unplug it, roll the offending car out of the way, pull up your car, and begin charging.I don't believe you would be able to unlock the charge cable - would you?
