Talk about being ICEd

Tesla could put heading coils in the concrete to keep the spots cleared. If there isn't a car there charging juice up the coils to 100kw and melt that mess! :D

Wait, no, that'd just make other areas solid ice. Bad idea! Abort abort!
 
ICE'd was definitely my thought when I saw it too 😂 I do believe I sent a text to my husband to that effect last time I was there.

I have been to this charger a few times in the snow, and there are often snowed in spaces, surrounding snowbanks making parking difficult, and snow in front of the unblocked chargers that makes it hard to back up far enough to actually plug in. I have mentioned it to Tesla, especially since the chargers often have a wait time when I have been, so blocked chargers exacerbate that.
 
They should really keep a snow shovel there for desperate drivers. Until it gets stolen of course. (Could put a lock on it and give you the code on your screen same way they give you the code to get into the lounge at the Kettleman supercharger.)
