    It looks like the ones in the median could be used if you nosed in? I know some people like backing in, but it doesn’t look illegal if they’re installed there and the lack of front plant also lends to this too.

      Threw this together to explain the issue, not sure if all Tesla stations are like this. Here’s how the chargers are supposed to be used by Teslas:

      I can use the charger to my left like this, but then I fuck over that spot while leaving an unused charger unreachable.

      If I really squeeze close to the chargers, I can use the left one, but then I fuck up the spot on the other side unless it’s another car with the same charger location as me.

      Ie read that the cables don’t reach and you end up having to take up 2 spots normally. Not sure if it’s because you have to park one slot over or if you have two park half way between spots though.

        Their picture clearly shows it reaches, their issue is blocking a charger where there is more than chargers than spots anyways…. So it’s a weird thing g to be worried about. Explicitly when there’s lots of empty stalls anyways.
