Don't sweat that. The Pearl right next door has a very good suite of Destination Chargers and a J1772. I got 238V @ 72A on my Model X on 2 of the Dest Chargers.

I used the "don't ask don't tell" option. If you like, there are several good restaurants on the property, several bars and a tourist trap shop. Not too much effort to be a patron, with several levels of patronage.

We stopped by this one and charged today. It was still there and worked great.

This is great - I was planning a trip to the coast (i live in Fort Worth - just a short 8 hour jog across the state) - Just to get out of the brutal North Texas winter into someplace warm.
Was looking for places to get some go juice - now I really do not have to worry.
Staying at hotels with destination chargers is nice, but coordinating with other guests and over night charging gets old - quickly. With the supercharging process, knowing they will be charged and out of there relatively quickly will be really good ( especially as the per minute charge when 50% filled will always be met with only two holes - to use the old outhouse term).

I think only 2 stalls can be used at the same time, it's one of those mobile urban SC pallets.

Here checking it out right now. Happy to have one on the island, but this is going to be a bad location in the summer. The parking lot will be harder to enter with security and the spots are by the hotels front door. So I would expect people to park here when they check in. I hope not. But if so there are lots of destination chargers in the island. Spots are right in the corner of the water park and the Sapphire.

I just spent an hour or so trying to find. Came at it from two directions.
Gave up. Charged 50 miles worth at Sapphire.

They look different and work as intended.
They're kinda like a beefed up destination charger IMO...or maybe that's what they should have put there. Well, maybe that's not fair. A good destination charger is 13ish kW whereas these will get you 72.
But they are not paired, so you can be right next to another Tesla and still get the full 72kW (depending on...the usual stuff).
If you're ever out in LA these things are everywhere out there. I've seen places with 24 or more of these Urban chargers in one spot...and most of them in use.... California is crazy like that. .
