So I have noticed lately there seem to be a lot of Tesla owners that park at chargers and forget to plug their cars it.

I get it, we are all in a hurry some days.

Now knowing that you can just push the button on the charge plug and Model 3 and Model Y will present their port for you to dock with, is it acceptable to plug them in if they’ve forgotten?

Understanding it may inconvenience them when they hit the station max or 100%, and potentially the $0.50/min idle fees for a part filled station or $1/min idle fees for a full station, but obviously they’ll need that charge to leave, otherwise they wouldn’t park in a charging bay, correct?

I mean, even with some idle fees, in some places here in Australia it’s like $3,000 to block a charging station, so in that view, would you be doing them a favour by keeping them from getting a fine?

    They aren’t forgetting. They just don’t give a crap but then will bitch when someone ICE a charger but this is the same. The hotel I’m staying at has a bunch of charging spots but only a few people were actually plugged…. While unplugging this am a guy with a. ID3 asked if the front desk asked me to move. I said no, I was actually charging…
