I understand that if locals continue to charge at the Palo Alto Supercharger, they will get a letter asking them to use their home charger. But, how does the Supercharger know your ID?

It doesn't need to.how does the Supercharger know
I understand that if locals continue to charge at the Palo Alto Supercharger, they will get a letter asking them to use their home charger. But, how does the Supercharger know your ID?
while this is partially true it is not the correct answer, which is that the SpC authenticates the car before allowing the "juice" to flowIt doesn't need to.
Tesla Motors is connected to your vehicle over the air. Where you've charged, and when, are easily pulled from logs.
while this is partially true it is not the correct answer, which is that the SpC authenticates the car before allowing the "juice" to flow
in other words the SpC and the car communicate in order to authenticate the car in order to allow the car to charge at the SpC. what exactly isn't correct?Closer, but still not quite right.
The information of wether or not your car should charge is stored in your car. Or actually that was how it worked last time I saw it.
So, if Tesla wanted to prevent your car from charging, they would change a setting into your car via the 3G connection instead of telling all superchargers to deny your VIN a charge.
wk057 was quite angry at Tesla for that reason, I'll try to find the link if I can.
Authentication would imply the SuperCharger knows something about your car, or that there is some sort of secure exchange between the SuperCharger and the car based on a private key exchange.in other words the SpC and the car communicate in order to authenticate the car in order to allow the car to charge at the SpC. what exactly isn't correct?
regardless of which way the conversation goes, the car communicates with the SpC in order to authenticate the car's ability to use the SpC. if you want to parse this any further, have fun.You said the SpC authenticates the car, whilst it is the opposite (the car tells the charger it has supercharger enabled.)
I found one link I was referring to from wk057.

wk057 spoofed the car to trick the system.That's incorrect. There is no check on the VIN before the juice flows. wk057 has successfully supercharged a car while sending a completely bogus VIN. No issue at all. As long as the car speaks the supercharger protocol, the supercharge will energize.

My answer was to the question I actually quoted, "How Do It Know (whom to send a dreaded letter to)?"while this is partially true it is not the correct answer, which is that the SpC authenticates the car before allowing the "juice" to flow
Doesn't Tesla pretty much know where all Tesla's are at all times? If your car were to get stolen, Tesla could pinpoint it for the cops. Am I wrong?I understand that if locals continue to charge at the Palo Alto Supercharger, they will get a letter asking them to use their home charger. But, how does the Supercharger know your ID?
