Honor system. To date, I have yet to hear of any fights breaking out over this.How do u wait and how do you know whose next? No lines
When I've had to wait at a supercharger, a line forms right in the aisle, so it's obvious who you have to get behind.How do u wait and how do you know whose next? No lines
BTW, at least 4 MS that were charging when I arrived were still plugged in with no owners in sight. Shame on you, next time I'm posting a picture of the license plates.
I pulled into FV around 4:30 pm and all spots were taken, I had to wait a whole 3 min for one to open up.
Do you mean they were still plugged in when you left? It is unclear if it is a problem. It depends on how long they were there in total. How long were they there before you arrived? You don't know. They could have arrived only a few minutes before you. They may only be charging for a full hour while shopping, and returned right after you left. If there was a Tesla member there on sight, he/she would have known.BTW, at least 4 MS that were charging when I arrived were still plugged in with no owners in sight.

These cars were plugged in when I arrived to charge without any owners in sight and the cars were still plugged in without any owners as I left. I supposed they could have been charging their 500 kW battery pack.Do you mean they were still plugged in when you left? It is unclear if it is a problem.

This supercharger is always crowded with looks like local charging. I'm second in line with all spots taken, one owner in the car, and TCP service vehicles waiting as well. Local charging aside, I think Tesla should limit or exclude supercharging for transportation vehicles.
Hi spentan... Interesting business concept.
As a new owner of a limo business that is switching to an all-electric Tesla Fleet, I think that local charging is more of an issue than our vehicles charging.
Our drivers have HPWCs at home base, and only go to the supercharger when they are not gonna make it back to base or they have a back to back job.
Our drivers usually wait with the vehicles while supercharging and as soon as they have enough charge, they are on their way.
We are San Diego based so going up to LAX is usually the only time they need to charge, usually at redondo beach. But they usually avoid fountain valley and San Juan Capistrano due to the long lines/locals charging.
Just my 2c
I will find myself in Rancho Cucamonga tomorrow and will top off at the supercharger before heading back. Hopefully won't have to wait for a charge. I typically charge at the end of my day (9pm - 11pm), or in the morning while I catch up on emails (9am - 11am). With the nature of my work, I thought these to be off hour times. Supercharging was a big draw
To your point, I do believe local charging is an issue. I've been in fountain valley late night where a guy drops off the car and his wife picks him up and they leave.
Should have left a note on his car. Only 2 other cars at FV @ 10:40pm last night
You are correct in the we should not make assumptions. They could come back in an hour. If, however, they are storing the car there for several hours, then leaving a note is not shaming them, especially if it is worded appropriately. Shaming them would be posting pictures of them and their car on line. That is something I would tend not to do, but also not be opposed to if they are truly repeat offenders.Whose to say the guy isn't a renter and doesn't have access to his own L2.
It does no good to "shame" people. They bought the car and they have the right to charge.
I think what he was referring to are people who don't have access to charging, not those trying to save a few bucks.Is it really worth all that effort for $8 worth of electricity? Not to mention the cost of driving the Gas car to get dropped off and picked up.
