Are there any plans for wi-fi and webcams at supercharger stations? I did a search and could not find any online. Any stations equipped so?

There are no plans to do that as far as I know, and there are no Supercharger statins with those features.Are there any plans for wi-fi and webcams at supercharger stations? I did a search and could not find any online. Any stations equipped so?
I like the webcam idea: you could use the car's Web browser to see if a supercharger has empty stalls before committing to get off the highway. OTOH, the status of Superchargers is currently known to Tesla via telemetry and they haven't seen fit to make it available to owners. It wouldn't tell you about ICEing, but it would be useful nonetheless.
Webcams aren't needed (at least for the purpose of determining SC usage). Tesla knows that directly, and it would be straightforward for Tesla to show that info on the nav screen. It wouldn't show blocked stalls, though.
I was thinking the same thing. Even the ChargePoint network can show "In Use" and "Available" sites.
The webcam would also provide a security feature.
Or a Lack Of Security feature. Excellent stalker tool. If camera resolution is sufficient to recognize the vehicle a bad guy wouldn't even have to get off his butt to know you just arrived at your regular Supercharger and that you won't be home for a definite time.
It would be nice if Tesla would post information as to which bays are in use and approximately how long before they would be free, if use is sufficient to warrant this information. In my one visit to a Supercharger there were never more than 3 cars charging for 6 bays. Have visited the Indianapolis Supercharger 3 times in my ICE and never seen it in use. So at least in my Supercharger-sparse travels I don't find use warrants online activity indicators.
Yes, but a network camera would help to know if stalls are ICE'd for both drivers and Tesla.
That same bad guy could just outsource that stalking job to a 2nd partner
