I think it’s way too early to know if any free parking will be included or not. There could be negotiations to include an hour or free parking or similar… or not.This is a paid lot. Can you confirm free parking while charging?
Almost certainly not. In almost every case where Tesla has put superchargers in pay lots, people just going to charge still have to pay the garage fee.This is a paid lot. Can you confirm free parking while charging?

If I need to pay for parking just to get a 15-20mins charge, you best believe I won't go in thereAlmost certainly not. In almost every case where Tesla has put superchargers in pay lots, people just going to charge still have to pay the garage fee.
It's all about where Tesla can get cheap or free places. With real estate at a premium, I am sure they couldn't get many places in the cheap.It would be pretty dumb to put these 40 stations in a place that's going to charge you for parking, when there are dozens of other places they could put them around there.
It’s bizarre that they would put this inside the galleria, and I almost don’t think that can be right. There are two giant vacant dirt lots just north of this property. In fact, when I first saw the map location pop up I immediately assumed it was there and thought, “of course!” Those lots have been empty/randomly used for years. It makes no sense to me they wouldn’t use this space for a supercharger. Having to take a ticket, and circle a parking structure until you get to the roof is so inefficient. If anyone’s ever done it at Burbank, you know. Except the Galleria parking structure is three times as big, and would take you forever to get up top, assuming that’s where the charger would be. 40 stalls, you need a lot of room for that. Then again there are always a ton of valet spaces available when you drive in on level one, so maybe they struck a deal to divide the space up. A shame though, that dirt lot screams for a drive in movie screen. So maybe we get lucky and the location will actually change to there in the end.
For the most part, Tesla does not buy or rent land for spots. They use someone else's lot and infrastructure. Any land in Sherman Oaks, vacant or not, is likely ridiculously expensive. Using space for free or cheap is a more ideal and practical solution. Tesla offers to do the entire build, and maybe even some upgrades, for little or zero rent, with the enticement of bringing in business.It’s bizarre that they would put this inside the galleria, and I almost don’t think that can be right.

Dozens? Hmmm. I am not so sure about that. No one wants to pay for parking while charging. Then again, if it is $1.00 for the first hour, my guess is many people will not think this so dumb.It would be pretty dumb to put these 40 stations in a place that's going to charge you for parking, when there are dozens of other places they could put them around there.
Tesla is lowering the cost of charging in pay lots. For example, if typical pricing is $0.35/Kw, the paid lot will charge $0.20/Kw. Seems like a good deal to me.This is a paid lot. Can you confirm free parking while charging?
