Again, you should have some idea how ling it's going to take. Don't blame tech or other people on your desire to not have to be responsible for your own actions.
It's hilarious you think this is about me. I'm just playing devil's advocate for pointing out where people are missing things in their far too extensive assumptions.
What's to assume? You are parked in a charging spot. Charge and move out of the way for the next person.
Tesla needs to enable V2G, declare the battery of your car as a "stationary" storage, and start drawing from it to charge the others.
This seems to be a good point.
The world isn't quite so black and white...unfortunately. I take it you've never arrived at a supercharger near your hotel at 2am knowing you have to get up at 7am and leave with a full charge. Yeah, you can get up at 3:30am and go out and unplug, but when there's nobody else there at 2am, the chances that your chosing to park there until 7am will prevent someone else from being able to charge in that 5 hour window is very small. Is this a common scenario...nah, is it a realistic one...you bet, it's been me, more than once. And I didn't feel bad leaving my car parked...slept like a baby.
Then suck it up and pay the fees.
What fees? There are no fees when you do end up being the only car there at the Supercharger station. I had a situation like @efusco mentioned back in February. It was 1AM in Goodland, Kansas and was 10 degrees outside at the Supercharger at the Holiday Inn Express. I was absolutely certain that it was going to stay empty overnight, and I was correct. But you know what? I still did charge for a bit that night, and then move my car for the overnight, and then charge more in the morning just to disappoint your false assumptions and accusations.
There are no fees...and shouldn't be because nobody...let me repeat that... NOBODY was inconvenienced. Again, there is no reason to be so concrete. If people want to gamble in the middle of the day when the risk is higher that the supercharger will be more heavily used, then so be it, let them gamble and pay the fees. But it's ridiculous to apply a one-size-fits-all 'rule' that nobody should ever park at a supercharger.
Well, we already know that that's not working. That's why we have the fees that are applied now.
The fees are for the situation where common sense and consideration were not applied...it doesn't mean that common sense and consideration can't be used. Thus my original point that being pedantic is not necessary. In situations where parking overnight or for extended periods of time don't violate the rules of common sense and consideration it is reasonable to do so.
