I just talked to a Tesla owner todsy while charging my car and he said they DO validate your parking ticket as long as you ask for it on the way out. He said it was bullshit to pay the parking fees since Tesla pay these guy lots of money for this charging station to be here.

Great. All we need now is for both parties to get involved in a hellacious row, and for Tesla to shut down the supercharger station completely, and go somewhere else.
I spoke to the Mgr few weeks back ..posted her number few threads back ..you need to pay still as they are working out arrangements ..best is get a wash the guys down there do great work and u get validated ...even better open one in Chula Vista so I can local charge lol

Which is how it is at Savannah (also a parking garage) and elsewhere.
There is no reason, despite the protestations from those who like to spend other people’s money, to pay for parking on top of a steep per kWh charge.
At $0.26/kWh, for anything other than the most efficient driving, there are exactly zero fuel savings over today’s efficient hybrids. Tesla knows this.
I expect the validation issue will be resolved after or along with the 24/7 access issue, since the simplest way to address both would be with key codes displayed within a Nav pop-up (see West Palm Beach or Kettleman).
There are good reasons to put SCs in parking garages in urban areas. Charging for parking is not one of them.
It's scary how tight the parking is. So far I've seen 2 cars carefully squeezing in between those Model Xs. I could just imagine returning to my car and seeing a scratch on the front bumper if other people using the garage are not careful
Just there. Drove up A street 3 times. Saw no Tesla signs or SCs. Ridiculous. Barely made it to Qualcomm.
It’s in between 4th and 5th entrance on left as u come up A (right before taco shop) you won’t see entrance easily as garage door is probably rolled down this time of night
Thanks for the tips! Where are the HPWC's located, I couldn't see them in your pictures. I might go for the $5 after hours for a full charge on the HPWC's
Yes, using the car nav system. Says you reached your destination. SC nowhere in sight. Can someone attach a pic of the front entrance?
Huge sign in front of building that says “6th and A parking.” On left side of street.

I think the S is just as wide as the X. But yeah it looks way too narrow. Even before seeing the pic with the 2 X's charging, I could tell it was too narrow. I think they should scrap it and put it somewhere else. I can't even imagine when this supercharger is full trying to back into the last stall. You'll have to maneuver between cars on both sides while also watching out for your front bumper as you back in. Just a horrible design.
