I do not think this is correct information. I know of a very recent contact where Tesla DID provide the equipment free of charge (and yes in Canada). I believe the offset for installation chargers is discretionary as mentioned in another email.

It went back down again Friday. The same new owner plugged in only to see everything go dark. There is a comment on plugshare.
Whatever you do, don't let him plug into any other Supercharger!
We dodged a bullet, because his first supercharge was in Drummondville, before his two failures in Riviere-du-Loup.
RDL was still showing "temporary closure" as of Noon today.
Has anyone charged here recently? I plan on charging at RDL later tonight and am hoping that everything is working properly. After reading this thread, it looks like this location has had an awful lot of problems staying functional.

I stopped by twice over the past few months and everything was great. In regards to the "overstating of use": I wonder if the fact that some of the stalls also double as 30 minutes parking has anything to do with this. Any ideas on this observation?
Okay great. Thanks for all the info.
WRT the number of stalls in use being overstated, this is a common problem at many of the superchargers in the US so not at all unique to RdL. I think it has something to do with stalls not "communicating" properly with HQ or something like that. The stall availability feature is still in its infancy and they definitely have some kinks to work out. Would also be nice to know how many Teslas are waiting in line in cases where the stalls are all full.

We used it twice in August, worked fine both times...nice restaurant there as well!
I made it to RdL late last night and no problems to report.
The Brewer, ME to RdL stretch in a torrential downpour was a real doozy. You haven't lived until you are in a rural area where you don't speak the language and your cell phone is a brick and your EV is screaming at you "CHARGING NEEDED TO REACH DESTINATION!"
I pulled in with 4 rated miles to spare so my undefeated record versus the Nav warnings remains in tact.

Plausible.
I've been told that the Superchargers don't have their own data connection; they communicate with home base via the car that is plugged into it.
