They are not “Destination Chargers”. See upthread. Someone talked their way into actually seeing them and they are “Urban” style (max 72kW) Superchargers. And in this thread people have posted screen captures of what is shown on the Tesla website “Find Us” page and it describes them that way. And I will do that again, here:
Calm down. I know these are 72 kWh urban chargers. My point is that if Tesla is not charging idling fees or charging Model 3 owners to charge they might Be an enhanced form of a destination charge. If you know anything about downtown L. A. you would know there isn’t free parking anywhere, and the few “true” destination chargers are few in number and very slow. I am suggesting that Indigo paid/subsidized Tesla to install these urban chargers to attract business, such as restaurant patrons in addition to overnight guests for a quick charge while they eat at the restaurant.
Your use of the term in your post (#83, the post I responded to) was incorrect, which is what I was pointing out. The chargers at the Indigo Hotel at not HPC Destination Chargers because they are Superchargers (DC) that are in fact open to all Tesla owners, regardless of the fact that you have to turn your car over to a valet to use them. You do not have to be a patron of the hotel to use them.
If (1) there are no idling fees, and (2) if Tesla is not charging Model 3 owners - I.e. those without free lifetime supercharger use - these seem to be a hybrid of a destination charger. I made an earlier reference to this unique possible arrangement earlier. My use of the term destination charger was meant to describe the hotel’s arrangement, not the hardware.
I see no reason why Tesla would not charge those who don’t have free unlimited Supercharging (there are many recent S/X owners who don’t have it) for using this Supercharger location. And so far we have no reports from this location that someone without free Supercharging was able to charge here for free.
Let’s try this: can any Model 3 owner advise this forum if charges apply at this location. I don’t know if the nav screen on the 3 can provide this information without physically using these superchargers.
Yes, we pay, as I posted above in message 85. Nobody ever reads old Randy
No such Supercharger location has been reported, to the best of my knowledge.
They told me *I* can tell them I want to get my car. I explained that I cannot see the status of my car because there is no WiFi or Cellular data in their basement, but they didn't have a response to that. Your key is actually kept at the Valet desk so the can't won't check it's status while they drop other cars off. Finally, they were sick of my gibber-jabber and took me to check (after saying MANY times that customers are not allowed) and the car WAS charged enough to register with Tesla as a charge, so I had the guy drive me back to the Valet desk. Weird all around.
Only 50 bucks!? Pay 50 bucks for something that costs 10$ and you get it free! Bullshit....
