Hello,
I flew to Toronto a few days ago and stayed there for 2 nights. On my way from Terminal 1 to pickup my rental car, in the 2nd floor tunnel that takes you to the parking area, I saw 4 Teslas charging from the glass that overlooks the chargers. I was amazed and wondered what are the odds to have 4 of them at the airport at a given time.
After my stay, on my way back to the terminal, I saw 2 of them are still plugged (which answers my previous concern!); who knows since when they've been plugged. Is that even OK? To keep your car plugged in for days?! Can you keep a charger to yourself for all that time? To me, this doesn't make any sense because what if someone who really needs a charge finds all the spots are taken by Teslas that are already fully charged? I would be as upset as if the spots are ICEd.
It's not as if the car would be dead by the time you come back! I personally was out of the country for 3 weeks since the 16th of August and my car was parked at the Park N'Fly near YOW and it had 200KM left when I came back. Our cars only drain ~3KM/day, and I kept waking it up every 2 days. This is decent if you ask me.
What do you guys think?
