The comments on the article is once again predictably flooded by EV haters. I don't see this being a big hit on TSLA. Even if what he said was 100% true, there are plenty of ways for Tesla to address it.

Actually I think an accurate well researched article WOULD attract readers. I think in this case, it was a typical lazy hack writer. I don't think he was intentionally trying to write something 180 degrees from reality. He just picked up on Musk's comment, saw the 500+ thread post about it, did a search for crowded Superchargers, found the SJC thread, got a generic quote from Tesla (Tesla PR department dropped the ball here guys!!!), and voila, out pops a lazy, unresearched article. The writer is probably too stupid to realize what he wrote was garbage.

The situation is not as serious as the article makes it out to be. Sending some courtesy notices should do the trick for now. They might also have to reign in their sales people (if the quote in the article is correct, they are doing that already). No need for hard line measures yet at this point.Put a system twice supercharging a week perhaps. Goes against elons promise but meh.

perhaps the batteries need to be even smaller - nano batteries - such that an individual battery can be recharged in 3min from 0 to full ..
Tesla needs to protect the original intent of superchargers.
(i) Tesla should be able to predict usage of the supercharger not just based on who is waiting there
(ii) tesla shd limit the # of free superchargers ppl can do to a certain # per year
(iii) tesla shd not back off the battery swap program
(iv) ultimately we really need to see much faster charging period. ..
Thanks for the dose of realism. The great success of Tesla is the only thing that allows all these rising expectations to be voiced. Isn't that really wonderful?TESLA should, Tesla should...
!
So is this a thing now, you get to use someone else's article and change the grammar and add a few misspellings, and then you're allowed to make money of that?
WSJ:
"Even as Tesla has poured millions of dollars in creating a global network of free charges, owners of the $76,200 and up luxury sedans feel there still aren’t enough."
vs.
VALUEWALK:
"Although Tesla has shelled out millions of dollars in creating a global network of free chargers, owners who spent as much as $76,200 on one of the company's luxury electric sedads feel the company isn’t doing enough."
TESLA should, Tesla should...
If people think Tesla needs to do something, they should try working with them, supporting them, helping them grow, before they start complaining.
This article is misleading, but I do think Tesla needs to protect the original intent of superchargers.
(i) Introduce an automatic prioritization system (like Airline boarding) - if you supercharge often you get automatically bumped down que. So if there is a wait at a station, your wait time will depend upon an automatically calculated priority.
