Will need to see a more standard supercharger where the pedestal is behind the spot.
I suspect will have same issue - need to park in the wrong spot to charge.
To be fair, on the east coast, I don't think this will matter as much.
Most superchargers I pass are 80%+ empty, which makes sense when they have 12 stall stations.
There is a magic dock converted station about 30mi away from me I don't normally pass, but will take a look if I am in the area.

One thing you can always count on with Elon Musk… He will throw over his customers in a hot minute if there's money to be had. Every single time. He will also half-ass it and then he will lie about it. Every BMW iX, every Rivian R1S/T, every Chevy Bolt, and so many others will need to take up two supercharger stalls because the location of their charge port necessitates parking in the spot next to the charger, rendering the original space useless for charging until you are done.
I hope this play for infrastructure money explodes in his face by virtue of angry, pissed-off Tesla owners. I don't know what it's going to take for the Tesla cult to snap out of it. Maybe seeing a bunch of Bolts occupying superchargers for over an hour might just do it.

It will take what it took both of us - ownership of a Tesla and when an issue arises, experiencing their horrific customer service. I find it interesting how many on the BMW iX forums are previous Tesla owners who jumped ship.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Preach. The customer service I received for my Model S was so terrible I was wondering if Telsa are trying to drive away customers

Problem is, the Tesla owners are going to get out the pitchforks for the Bolt owners, not Elon. The future will be interesting....

Unfortunately, it's called the "cult of Tesla" for a reason.
