I play a nice person on twitter.
Bonnie, if you look at the restaurant example in the opening message the current situation is demonstrated by 15 diners and 10 chairs per restaurant and multiple restaurants. If you leave people alone and let them pick whichever location they want, the fluctuation of their random choices can't fill up even a single location in terms of probability. However if you increase diners to 150 and you still have lots of restaurants with 10 chairs each (this replicates 10 stall stations), the random choice becomes a real issue.
Therefore data on usage alone won't help. There needs to be a way to distribute demand evenly by redirecting cars to different stations as well. If Tesla were to just monitor data they would see that some stations get 30 cars while other stations get 5 and then they reverse roles. Each station would be overcrowded and under utilized continuously.
I think you completely missed my point. That's okay. Let the conversation go the way it's going.
