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.
Driving the F150, or even the MachE, we just have to take two spots most of the time. It feels wrong but it’s what Tesla recommends for non teslas. I’ve only used SC a handful of times, but usually get lucky and grab an end cap or the side mounted charger when available.
