I’ve learned that the dozen or so Tesla power stations at the end of my grocery store parking lot (that will inevitably cause a very expensive crash)…

…are because my company is being paid for it, not because they wanted it necessarily themselves. Though, I’m sure they did feel like it benefits the upscale location.

Unfortunately, as mentioned, they are right in front of an entrance/exit and the Tesla owners have yet to learn to back in *fully* to power up their vehicles. So if it hasn’t yet happened already, there will be a crash. There is already a lot of congestion in using the units, especially starting in the afternoon and on through past closing at 11pm.

They can't be sticking out too far. The charging cables are very short and require backing in almost to the charger pylon itself. -- nm - TWuG Jun 14, 17:31 5
- The drivers aren’t cognizant enough to realize they should be backing further into the space. Some as many as 3 feet or so! -- nm - Qale As Folk Jun 14, 18:00
- manufacturers seem to be standardizing on charging port on the side, which feels like a mistake to me. Front seems better, especially if we start - Reagen Jun 14, 17:38 3
  - I wonder where the charge port is on the ID.Buzz ... I know where I'd stick it. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 14, 17:39 2
    - Whoa whoa! This is why I don’t do the role anymore! -- nm - Tim Allen Jun 14, 18:01
    - rear passenger side. -- nm - Reagen Jun 14, 17:58
That’s how something like 90% of those charging stations work. Tesla pays to place them and promote themselves. -- nm - MDH Jun 14, 17:25 1
- Absolutely essential to mass adoption of EVs. The charging stations are along routes people travel instead of buried - TWuG Jun 14, 17:30
Ugh. Our nearest Target shopping area has them, but they've put them away from the different stores in their own area. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 14, 17:09
