Ticket time... or tow time (even better)!
I actually doubt it. Police don't jurisdiction on private property. They will come if the store reports retail theft, but probably not for ICEing. Not a Tesla in sight and with 8+ charging bays, it's probably a no harm/no foul situation. But if Pontiac made a supercharger compatible car, I'd want a G8 and a Solstice. I guess the G8 has been reincarnated as a Chevy SS, though I'd much prefer the austrailian Holden wagon variant. Why don't American car manufacturers make a hot wagon any more. I should have picked up a CTS-V wagon when they were available.Ticket time... or tow time (even better)!
There was a red one on the lot when I bought my ELR. Tempted. But I got over it since I was test-driving the ELR at the time!I should have picked up a CTS-V wagon when they were available.
I've seen 3 Teslas at the most charging at a time at this supercharger station, but I"m sure that will change when the model 3 is out in large numbers.Here in Seaside Oregon on Highway 101 there are 8 new Tesla Super Chargers at the shopping center parking lot. Its only 2 blocks or so from our house. Seems like most of the time I drive by there is usually one or two Teslas charging quite a few times there are none. I have noticed on Highway 101 I sometimes see more Tesla's than Volts.
Low Supercharger occupancy in that area is Normal.I've seen 3 Teslas at the most charging at a time at this supercharger station, but I"m sure that will change when the model 3 is out in large numbers.
For awhile, Tesla owners in our area had to drive 45 minutes out of their way to Normal, plug in, then go to Ohare, and hopefully have enough battery left to get back to Normal in order to get home. If they didn't have enough to make it to normal, then they would have to drive west to Aurora, supercharge, then come home. So the addition of this supercharger really helps both the east-west traffic on I72 or I74 and north-south traffic on I57. It still makes the round trip from Champaign to Ohare and back a bit scary with range anxiety unless you have an S or P 90/100Low Supercharger occupancy in that area is Normal.*
* Tesla also has a Supercharger in Normal, IL.
For travel from Champaign, IL to O'Hare there's Country Club Hills, IL. Owners could top off there on the way if they're in any doubt or on the way back if battery capacity and conditions allow.For awhile, Tesla owners in our area had to drive 45 minutes out of their way to Normal, plug in, then go to Ohare, and hopefully have enough battery left to get back to Normal in order to get home.

It been years since I've looked at the supercharging map. So my info on Aurora and Bloomington was from the early days of supercharging, when the model S was early in its release cycle.For travel from Champaign, IL to O'Hare there's Country Club Hills, IL.
