Rivian charging at a Tesla Supercharger

[Gamma rays]

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

Thanks. I was playing with Tesla's website and noticed some Superchargers are cheaper than RAN. That's why I wondered if that already reflects the subscription discount.

All SC costs are listed at standard rate. The subscription discount comes off of the listed pricing.

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.

The miserable, terrible inconvenience of waiting, yeah, no way, how dare!?
God forbid, cannot ever let that happen.

EXACTLY! The person who needs that spot can wait, right?

 

[ElGuano]

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

to the vacant spot.

One thing I've thought about is maybe carrying around one of those tiny kids soccer "traffic cones" to block off the unused space. It's a minor effort that can provide a bit of a courtesy notice, and can also prevent repeatedly having to explain to car after car pulling in that it's not an open spot.

Some are doing exactly that. The collapsible cones are inexpensive. It’s a small effort to communicate to others the spot is out of service, without having to exchange words or risk escalation.

No kidding. Some people are exaggerating the problem.

Yup, there's no problem.

I carry the cones both for this and any other need, from being stuck on the road to just marking something in camp at night like a rock.

You could also carry yellow tape a la police line to block off the second stall. Heck, you also could carry a couple of chairs to put in that second stall also. Or prop up a giant "Occupied" sign on an easel, too. Or set up a perimeter electrified fence while you are at it. Jury rig it off the charger cable to energize it. Or perhaps reach out to Tesla for other suggestions. Unbelievable.

And so the story will continue. Some will pull up to a Tesla charger totally and hopelessly obsessed with how to fix this god awful two-stall-taking trivial tragedy. Others fully physically able will go so far as to take the handicap stall because Tesla told them it is okay to do so, perhaps, or cannot wait, or because, well, that is just what they do.
Then, there are others who simply will pull up, take two stalls without a care in the world, or wait as needed for two adjacent stalls to open up, or take an end stall, wait some more, charge up and move on.

So, what's the plan ??

I never thought such petty, absurd, trivial matter deserves even a thought, much less a plan, but hey, others apparently believe the fate of the world hangs in the balance and must therefore address this

And here you are, giving this absurd, trivial matter your thought...

Amateur. I carry a body bag and lay it in the empty space. Draw a chalk line and see who dares cross it. I have a sign that says "You're next" with Elon doing the......well, you know...THE salute. Would you charge there or just leave? I thought so.

Not giving it a thought. Just pointing out the absurdity of so many preoccupied for taking two stalls and actually pondering what to do to fix it all the while laughing my you-know-what off. That ain''t giving it no thought. I pull up to a Tesla charger, will take three stalls if I have to and charge away with no quams, concerns, not a care in the world, etc. Not my job. I concern myself with real issues, not nonsense like this. Hope you can understand the difference. Keep your stash of orange cones with you, LMAO, all of which is to say that I do not give a thought at all about this when I charge at a Tesla SC. Have given a blunt thought or two on here on how a few others handle this. I honestly hope you can understand the difference.

That's all I shall say on this. Moving on. Thank you all for all the laughs. Made my day.

Wow, you’re clearly really caught up in this. Take a breath.
