They now show up on a persons account on Tesla.
Right, but has anyone actually PAID them?

You get more than a 5 minute warning. As you approach your charge limit you get a notification letting you know that it’s getting close, then another one after it has finished and your 5 minute counter starts.
When you plug in the car, wait a moment, and the screen tells you how long it will take to charge. How is this different than a parking meter where you have to remember when it times out? I don’t know why you even need a warning on your phone. Plus, there are phone warnings well before charging is actually done. I'm totally lost at this "5 minutes isn't enough" complaint.

1) post a sign at charging stations
2) require an acceptance click in the car when somebody starts the charge, or at least a warning pop up
3) require an acceptance click in the app when somebody starts a charge, or at least a warning pop up
4) For old owners, obtain an acceptance documents of the new terms of the legal agreement with the owner
I'm here to cancel it out.I'm just posting to get a disagree from AnxietyRanger.
I have paid for a couple of idle fees. Total cost was less than $3.Right, but has anyone actually PAID them?
I would agree if Tesla paid me at the same rate per hour if their estimate turns out of be wrong. If the car charged faster than estimate, then the sum is zero, they charge me idle fee and pay me for bad estimate (car said ETA 1hr so I went for 1hr meal, car done in 35mins, I should have to run out in the middle of the meal). Of course I make money if car takes longer, but that's just so that Tesla doesn't underestimate on purpose (since it would cost them).30min is way too much, given all the tools (estimated time/app) 5 min is plenty.
Five minutes is definitely not long enough considering some chargers are we more than a five minute walk away from the nearest store etc. 15 minutes is reasonable.
Parking meter doesn't tell you "you have 60 minutes" and then start charging you penalty after 45 minutes because the car stopped charging. Phone warnings is not guaranteed to be received (e.g. no data coverage), and even if they are, you may be more than 5 minutes away from the SC.When you plug in the car, wait a moment, and the screen tells you how long it will take to charge.

Look, I can live with a genuine disagreement on the grace. Old stuff...
I do have to admit I'm a bit surprised the idea of signs and dialogs notifying of idle charges got pushback. I thought that would be good news for everyone. Idle charges only work if people know about them and on the flipside people like me who have opinions about reasonable policies would be happier too.
