Who, exactly, is "them"? I'm not talking about what I or anyone else should do at some point in the indefinite future -- I'm talking about now and in the near future. And right now the average occupancy of my local SC is zero and the peak is 1. I agree that the introduction of the Model 3 is likely to change things, even in low-usage areas like here, but that's quite a ways off even best-case (where "best" means most rapid rate of adoption). Btw, the "double" parameter wasn't my contribution -- I was responding to that.
Do you get any kind of notification on the mobile app when supercharging completes? That would seem like the easiest
This discussion has mostly been unwilling to admit that such a thing exists or has any relevance.
Yes, you do. The sentiment here in California is that there are a significant number of people who go shopping for long periods, or even go as far as to leave their car overnight. They couldn't care less about a notification. The truth is, for all of us who arrive and leave a SC and see a car that was already there and still there when we are done, we have no idea if they parked there for hours, or arrived 1 minute earlier with a lower state of charge.
Yes, this is a brilliant idea. It will at least allow public shaming to do most of the heavy work and would be almost trivial to implement compared to other schemes.
Yes, a ways back there's a link to an article that contains a copy of one of these notes.
This and other timers are interesting ideas. Your suggestion is, as you said, really easy to implement. The issue I have with this approach is that it a little "on the nose" for pointing out specifically how long someone has been there. While I would personally like to have this information, I do not think this would consistent with TM's message, and could even result in supercharger rage. I believe that a safer approach would be to show when someone is done charging, without going the extra step of clearly shaming them.
