Replace Tesla with Handicap Driver and you get the same formula.
If we tow people from Handicap parking spaces, is going to alienate car drivers against them. So we should let them block handicap parking spaces?
It actually works the other way: start towing a few idiots and the rest will quickly get the message not to break the law.

I think that is on purpose, I was talking to the Brian (Tesla engineer) and he mentioned they suspected that this site may have problems during this week(might even have made an agreement with the mall). Perhaps, they decided to hold off making the site official until after the holidays, then they don't need to worry about this until next year.

I tried posting yesterday, but it seems like it didn't get through:
This mall was so massively crowded yesterday, that I could not even get into the parking lot. I gave up and arrived home with just enough range to make it.
My bet is that there will be little ICE'ing once this holiday passes, and I won't fret it too much about it now. Next year is another matter. People may be more dependent on it then. Hopefully, TM will get on it if needed. If not, we can as a group contribute some green cones.

really interested to see if there's any kind of response from Tesla / the SC team about this. maybe some holiday elves will make those towing signs and post them guerilla style...

Yes, I would like that, but has Tesla ever become seriously involved with an ICE'ing problem? Is there any SC site that has official tow-away signs?
Not that I know of. Anything they did would have to be in cooperation with the property owners, and I doubt many of the property owners want to risk business by having their customers towed.

I charged here around 3PM today and while there were 2 ICEs parked there when I arrived, no one else came to park while I was sitting in my car. There were 2 other MS charging, so that may have helped keep them at bay.

This charger is now showing up on my car's nav. I'm sitting here charging now (1am) and not another soul around. Super-nice area. Much more to do than Hawthorne - although not at this hour. But my wife is telling me Macys is open until 2am.
Some major ICE'ing this evening
Check it out... And of course the moment I left, an ICE car pulled into my spot. The rest of the mall was truly crazy, so this shouldn't be representative of what it will be like once the holiday madness dies down.

Some of mine from today...remember that on Wednesday the other half of the superchargers will be closed for resurfacing. The mall closes early Wednesday and will be closed on Thursday so things should be fine...but next weekend after Christmas...be prepared.

No one ICEing though charging at 4am is ideal.
There are many stalls missing signs ("Tesla electric vehicle parking"):
1a needs a sign
2b needs a a light post w/sign
3b needs a sign
4a needs a sign
4b needs a sign
5a needs a sign
5b needs a sign
6a needs a a light post w/sign
Since there's nothing to indicate these spaces are reserved, I can't blame folks desperate to shop/park at this crowded mall from ICEing spots.
There were bunch of Orange cones scattered about the resurfaced area.
To help prevent ICEing, I repositioned them to block the unmarked stalls.
In addition to seeing all stalls available this morning, I was delighted by the charging rate:
211A 379V 313Mi/H
much higher than the first day the Chargers went online.

A non-Tesla car is parked in a dedicated Supercharger stall, what should I do?
Many Supercharger sites are outfitted with ‘dedicated’ stalls (meant only for Tesla vehicles) and a few ‘enabled’ stalls (which allow for time-restricted general parking). Please be aware of stall signage. If a non-Tesla vehicle is blocking a ‘dedicated’ Supercharger stall, please notify Tesla at (877) 798-3752 (international phone numbers).
