Well, the question that started the discussion was specific to this supercharger.
Yes it was but the discussion quickly changed to a general one about the fact that Tesla does not consider Superchargers as a profit center (Tesla has stated that numerous times) and there is no evidence that any Supercharger location owner pays Tesla.
Please continue the discussion in the new thread. Thanks.
Could you or someone else be more specific as to when the $5 charge applies? For instance, after 5pm to when? untill 8am the next morning? Also on weekends--does that mean from 12:01am Saturday morning till Sunday midnight? I am planning on a trip to the San Diego area this coming week, so I would like to know what I would be encountering.

You pay upon leaving. If an attendant is available you pay $2 per 15 minutes. If an attendant is not on duty you pay a flat rate of $5 to have the computer lift the gate to exit. I may be wrong, but this is my understanding. If you plan to take longer than 30 minutes to charge, then wait until after 5 pm then stay as long as you wish.
From 5 pm Friday until 8 am Monday it should be a flat $5 no matter how long you stay.

As of now this is the case. Unless you can borrow a monthly user card to exit, then walk it back inside to give it to the monthly user. With all that effort it is easier to just pay the fee.
Plus, as was stated in an earlier post (that was moved to another thread) the parking garage pays Tesla part of the parking fee for each car that charges.

You seemed skeptical in the other thread. Are you now taking that as fact? Anyway, the post only states that Tesla makes money off supercharging here, not how, so who knows what was meant?

He said some locations tesla pays for the equipments and land lease, and a few locations actually pay tesla to have the chargers there

both times it was in the evening (after 7pm) for quick charges (15 min or so). Then it seems to let you out with no charge.

This is very nice to know for anyone local, or someone visiting San Diego for a few days.
If you are in the Downtown area just swing by for a quick visit to experience this Supercharger and get 12 kWh of electricity in 10 minutes of being plugged in, then leave before your 15 minutes are up. For a Model S or X that is about 36 miles of charge, for a Model 3 it should be close to 48 miles of charge.
I would not make a special trip for this, but if I find myself downtown and have 15 minutes to explore, then I will take advantage of it to explore this new Supercharger.
