I seriously doubt google will let you park your car in a level II spot all day long. Most companies, even the ones that have a lot of chargers, have rotating time slots. Good for a Nissan Leaf but I doubt there are spots at Google where you can just leave your MS all day long to charge.
I don't know. I don't work there. But, if I had to guess, I'd guess that of course they expect people to park all day (or night) while they charge. Do you really think that a company that provides free food (and other goodies) to its employees so that they don't have to take time away from work will want them to waste time moving their cars around? I'm not sure why you're making foolish predictions about a situation you know little about, never mind defending them. We'll clearly know more about the dynamics once several weeks or months have passed.
This charger will be the closest one to me, much closer than the factory. However I can't see myself using it very often. Coming home from Tahoe I likely need to charge somewhere, but passing by Mountain View won't be as convenient as detouring a couple of miles to the factory. Perhaps if I'm coming home from going up north over the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm not all that sure who it will prove useful to, but I'm sure that will become clear to Tesla as it tracks users. One thing that is clear is that they are experimenting with different models of supercharger usage around the world, some clearly meant for long distance travel and some meant for dense urban areas. These early days are really all experimentation, looking for patterns of usage before the Model 3 is born.
