Notes on my first charge at a Tesla station:
Holy shit these cables are short, I'm lucky that this stall with a more accessible charger opened up.
The first two chargers I tried didn't work.
The Tesla app sucks, I had to restart it twice before it let me start charging.
I'm using the A2Z Typhoon Pro adapter, works great!
It looks like the ones in the median could be used if you nosed in? I know some people like backing in, but it doesn’t look illegal if they’re installed there and the lack of front plant also lends to this too.
Threw this together to explain the issue, not sure if all Tesla stations are like this. Here's how the chargers are supposed to be used by Teslas:
I can use the charger to my left like this, but then I fuck over that spot while leaving an unused charger unreachable.
If I really squeeze close to the chargers, I can use the left one, but then I fuck up the spot on the other side unless it's another car with the same charger location as me.
👍 Nice diagrams.
"bolt ev.png" really tied it all together.
