Notes on my first charge at a Tesla station:
Holy shit these cables are short, I'm lucky that this stall with a more accessible charger opened up.
The first two chargers I tried didn't work.
The Tesla app sucks, I had to restart it twice before it let me start charging.
I'm using the A2Z Typhoon Pro adapter, works great!
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.
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.
