Gridserve did release a statement on the accessible bays on twitter recently saying that people should use the "normal" bays first and only use the accesible bays if no others are available, but that it is ok to use them. They did suggest people should hang around the car and move when a normal bay becomes available. Seems sensible...so obvs Joe public will ignore that.

Do you think it's possible for a Tesla to park in a bay forwards and then use the cable from a stall on the "wrong" side? Looking at your photos I can't tell if the cable might not quite be long enough.

First up to do that in a Tesla would be very weird, unless you were forced into it as a result of being 'wrong bayed' by the car next door.

As I don't own an M3 I can't categorically say, but I would be inclined to say 'no'. Too short.

I've seen the reach here trying to reach over the car and again its too short.

Yeah that was my thinking, if you were wrong bayed then maybe it was an option.

I'll try it in my X, I've got to go up there on Monday for a service visit anyway.
