I am the primary driver and significant other for someone who no longer drives but is not housebound. This Tesla owner values the increased width for “Handicapped” designated spaces, whether at Super Charger locations, at rest stops or at the mall. The increased width of the space affords a safe “out of traffic” assembly area, and space to transfer between car and scooter.
My Model S replaced a Honda Odyssey as the primary transport both local errands and for road-trips. I store a small scooter under the hatchback, which I assemble and position by the passenger door as needed. My friend says the firmness of the Tesla seats to assist entry/exit, and it is a lot less effort when I assist with transfer, so we think the Model S is a huge improvement over the ramp equipped minivan. At Superchargers the wider spots allow the time spent for loading and unloading to be used for charging. Typically after we have found a restroom and Starbucks, our charge is complete and we are on the way.
I know there is at least one other Super Charger location with a “Handicapped” stall, at Centralia WA.
