Rivian charging at a Tesla Supercharger

[HaveBlue]

I did that too. Confused the hell out of Teslas pulling in

to the vacant spot.

Can folks please not use the ADA spots if you are indeed not disabled and don't have one of those placards? Sh!t is hard enough sometimes.

I used a Tesla charger once, and I grabbed a corner spot that gave me just enough room to get my chair out and plug in. I think technically I was using two spaces.

Likewise, shit is hard if you need to charge and all the other spots are in use. That's why they are marked as usable if needed.

I'm not familiar with that type of marking. But like I said, I've only used those chargers once.

Many states have instituted accessible charging spots which are intended to be used last but are not exclusive use for vehicles displaying a placard. Vehicles utilizing accessible spaces should wait in line for those spaces if occupied.

Huh, Ca taking the lead again. Has not been implemented here in Ct.

I'm actually for all EV spaces being accessible. Would be nice but retrofit is what we have and the vast majority of spaces are terible to get in and out of. Worst is pulling into a parking lot full of compact spots.

I mostly agree with you here and do not really understand why able bodied people do not park in the back of parking lots anyways. Those spaces are less crowded and allow you to get more steps in for the day.

That being said, at least in California, disabled person spots at EV chargers are like disabled person spaces in public restrooms. They are designed for accessibility and are supposed to be used last but are allowed to be used by anyone if it is the only space available.

I admittedly only quickly skimmed the presentation you linked, but I don't see anything about non-placard holders being able to use an ADA charging spot if all the other charging spots are taken. If that is in the presentation, can you please let me know what page it's on?

I've seen a "Use Other Spaces First" on some disabled charging spaces, changing them from disabled-only to disabled-preferred.

I think it might have been in Oregon, but I'm not sure. I don't think it was in Washington.

Best wishes!

I believe this is what you are looking for

Newbie questions about charging at Superchargers. Are the costs shown on Tesla's Supercharger page with or without membership? How accurate are those numbers (ie: are they updated regularly)?

Buying the monthly subscription from Tesla costs $12.99 and payoff is about 105kW. You can start and stop the subscription at any time. It is worth the money if you plan to use the SC at all. Tesla app is very informative

Thanks. Do the website & app show up to date pricing?

Yep. IIRC, the pricing *does not* reflect the subscription price reduction. Scout out the possible SC stations because some are priced cheaper than others
