I think this shows just how useless the stall status is. When I left my hotel it said 5 of 6 stalls available. Great I thought. When I got there, it said 3 of 6 available. But this is what actually was available:
I'm not convinced bad or impossible-to-know-accuracy data is better than no data.

Also, I *am* convinced that Tesla disabled the status indicators for the eclipse weekend admitting that no data is better than bad data... Which also admits that the stall data is pretty much bad data the rest of the time. They just didn't want any complaints about it. So deliver no data instead.
In my experience this is highly unusual. One drunk/poor ICE driver taking two spots and one ICE business vehicle (looks like a traffic control sign mounted on the truck?) taking another.
Was this your closest supercharger? If so you probably would have gone there anyway.
Perhaps I've just been very luck, but I've not been ICEd at SCs. Quick, were is some wood to knock on.
From the signage, it looks like the Dura Mark truck from Aurora, Ohio, is not in one of the shared 60 minute parking spaces. Maybe if they got a few calls/emails concerning truck #11 parking and blocking a Supercharger they would ask their drivers not to park there in the future.
In the past, owners have contacted businesses who have parked their work trucks at Superchargers and they have indicated they would change their parking habits going forward.

I had no choice. I had 21 miles of range left. SCs out here are not like California where you actually have alternative charging options (must be nice). The next two closest SCs were the one I just came from (Charlotte, NC) and the next one I was heading to (Lexington, VA) -- both more than 100 miles away.
I was about to try, and I think I would have fit, but I wouldn't have been able to open up either door or get out the back. So I just waited for one of the remaining three stalls to open up.

Not out here. I see ICEd spots all the time. But this was the first time it mattered to me.

Better you than me. For ICEing two spots, I would have let the air out of one or more tires on that Mazda.
Don't comment on if this is "right or wrong", I don't want to hear it. Just what I would have done unless the owner showed up post-haste to move the car.
No, sorry for the confusion. 1 out of 8 available is the same as 0 out of 8. This is because there is a high likelihood that someone has just disconnected and another owner is pulling into the stall and is about to connect. I'd look for at least 2 stalls available in order to conclude that the station is not completely full.

So you mean like this?
From the moment I left Strasburg, VA to the time I got to Harrisburg, it was a constant 2/8 free, so I thought I was good, but also thinking there might be two ICEd or broken stalls...
But when I get there... this is what I see (that's my car there on 1A)

Yes. Years ago. But not me. The person who cracked it and published the results was “asked” by Tesla to take it down. That’s all I know.

Conspiracy theory time!!!1!111 What if some kind of charger hardware issue resulted in some low draw on a supercharger which triggers a 'current is flowing so the charger must be in use' message. And what if that hardware issue is related to the reduced charging rate phonomenon? :eek: You...

Unfortunately, with this change they eliminated showing SC user status on the standard map. Anyone know how to get this back?
