Positive Experience Count: (3)
Negative Experience Count: (1)
What made the experience negative? The station was full and had a line. After three interactions with multiple Tesla drivers, I gave up. Although the station was open to non-Tesla, because of the wait, I had two drivers say that "I couldn't charge here" and wouldn't accept that the station was open to non-Teslas.
I finally was able to nose in with the short cables, but needed the Cybertruck next to me to finish so I could use that stall. While I was waiting, another driver was confused about why I wasn't actively charging and wanted to charge. Rather than start an incident, I felt it best to move on to the EA at the other side of the mall.
Luckily, the EA's four stalls were all working, and the drivers were much nicer.
Lesson learned - with the short cables and needing to take up two spaces, I'll try to avoid Tesla when stations are full. Good thing the app tells you!
