Only Tesla can verify if monetary compensation was involved. Perhaps BW got the lease money and QI got nothing (hmmm).
I can only again relay what Mr. Patel and his wife told me as I recall from our conversations:
*The hotel has never received compensation in any form from Tesla.
*The hotel receives acknowledgement on SC charts and lists - nothing more
*Some Tesla owners (or their parties) left messes in the restrooms and in the lobby
*Some Tesla owners (or their parties) attempted to get coffee and/or breakfast without asking or paying for the privilege
*Mr. and Mrs. Patel expected that Tesla drivers would occasionally rent rooms and pass the word about the hotel. They were later surprised to discover that SC users would not need to spend the night, only an hour or so. Not a good surprise.
That last one is the key to happiness for an innkeeper. Gotta get butts in beds. Not happening here.
Perhaps the SC should have been installed at the other SC site considered: the C of C building a short distance away.
We need this SC site. Without it we'll have a brand new I-10 gap. Hope Iraan is still good.
