I was under the impression that it shouldn't do that. That the first person gets as much charge as he needs, and the 2nd person gets what's left over?
I didn't realize that it reduces the first persons charge at all...
Ditto this. I thought first in had priority and second would ramp up as first tapered.
Mike, did you clearly see a reduction when he plugged in and then an increase when you moved to the new stall? I assume so but I'm surprised.
I have never experienced that. Most of the time being on the whats left over side rolling into a full SPC station.
I have found most of the time its a teaching thing. Most owners had no idea about the reduced charge at a paired station and are grateful for the education.
Some of them have called tesla to complain and its hit or miss if the person on the phone knows about the power split between the pairs.

The only way this changes is if someone walks up to car one and pushes the button on the charge handle. This interrupts the charge and the max then goes to car two.
Nothing to be paranoid about. Just stay with the car for the 20-30 minutes it takes to charge. If you are going to go shop or eat, it will probably not make much difference anyway as you will be gone long enough for their taper to begin and you still get your 80-90% charge.This has been my paranoia for a while; one day I'll get a crazy SpC neighbor who will do this to me.

Ahhh yes...I vaguely remember those days. (Chuckling) But now it is ME and not the kids. Oh well.It has never happened, but it's just a thought in the back of my mind when I come to a relatively packed SpC.
I have 2 young kids; staying with the car isn't an option, they gotta use the restrooms. And being paired sucks, it's a noticeable difference. The only time it affected me, I was in a hurry, and it easily added 30 minutes to my trip.
Did you? (speak to his manager) I am not sure why an employee would be out at the chargers, but the fix would be quick and easy. Just do the same to vehicle #2. BOOM! Back to full charge. We tend to assume that Tesla employees know everything about our cars...they do not. But educating them (and the public) is a worthwhile endeavor.I had this happen to me in Decatur, GA.
A Tesla employee there did it and a) claimed to be ignorant as far as pairing and b) could care less, argued and told us to talk to his manager.

My experience has been that being second on the pair is the issue. I don't think there is a reduction if you are on charge first.
That said, I do try to spread the word that having any number, regardless of the letter A or B, to yourself is best when possible. It doesn't help that Tesla sometimes groups A and B beside each other and sometimes groups all As on one side and all Bs on the other.
