Let's just note that it's poor etiquette by some
owners that is causing issues in a few places, those people's actions aren't Tesla's fault. The cure you're advocating is potentially going to have far worse consequences for the vast majority of owners:
- The long discussions on algorithms in this thread and the charging scenarios in other threads make one thing clear...There's no such thing as a short concise and specific policy. If you want a policy covering various eventualities you're going to end up with a handbook of rules.
- Identification of individuals not abiding by those rules is not easy given the privacy implications. Clearly Tesla tried to avoid that with their mail algorithm which is why some folks received a letter even though they don't have a local Supercharger.
- Enforcement is extremely difficult, if not practically impossible. Throttling is just going to block up the chargers even more. Cutting access completely is an extreme solution and watch out for the outcry over horror stories if/when a single mistake is made.
- Why would the company set themselves up to become the Supercharger compliance police? Chances are pretty high that there's a nightmare PR story in that scenario.
- Offenders will re-offend if they're not educated. With a full set of rules some folks will still ignore those rules or look for loopholes.
The best way to deal with this is to educate owners, set a good example, and spread the word as ambassadors ourselves. Persistent messaging from Tesla, with support of owners, will do the trick eventually.
