Weird Supercharger Layout
- Thread starter Morhydro

See the drawing - like the above post you can park anywhere and you still get a cable, it is a really a brilliant idea except if there is a queue.I don't think it works like that. Half the cars have to enter from the right, and half from the left ... hence without arrows I wouldn't expect cars to enter the bays from the correct direction. My expectation is that arrow-paining will be done before it opens
It's Tesla thinking ahead to a semi with 4 sockets..except they haven't given it room to manoeuvre into position. That'll be sorted in the next update...

I see that now - you just have to park with Chargers on your left-side (either pull in / drive through on lane with chargers on left side, or reverse in for opposing lane - assuming someone already in the far bay so you could not drive-through that lane).
P.S. Actually I think?? that's only true for the double-lanes ... the single lanes are still one-way
Yes, true. The only exception seems to be the charge port on the right side (BMW i3 as far as I can remember - which is anyhow discontinued) of the car that may not be able to use if there is only Car 6 space is available. But that is not Tesla’s problem I guess!
This is a very common layout in Norway. Easier to use and more efficient use of space. It makes charging with a trailer, a bike rack or a non-tesla much easier. Imo this should be the standard layout.

After some getting to understand what's going on, you can see there is a certain beautiful logic to it.
Give it a busy period and it has equal potential to turn into an absolute cluster***k. Especially if non Teslas with other random charger locations are added in the mix.

On the subject of weird supercharger layouts, last summer I visited Sagunto charger near Valencia in Spain. There have been 8 chargers installed there, but they have put them too close together (4 opposite 4) so they have not been able to open 4 of the 8 chargers. Now that was a genuine mess up!
It's going to confuse people, So there will always be some blocked. If they do this in the USA we will be shooting at each other.

No, they are actually all there, it's one of Teslas' replacements for USSIt’s interesting that the stalls seen at the bottom of the image have a different layout too. I’m guessing this is an expansion with the new stalls shown in the upper section of the picture? If so it’ll be extra special confusing with different layout/parking needs
