    Yeah, nice to have all the options, but really not needed. I do use the mobile charger a decent amount when visiting family on overnight trips. I just leave it all in the car since it has so much cargo space.

    Such strange behavior, I see it often too. ICE owners feeling threatened by EVs? Copper thieves? Much more common at non-Tesla chargers since Tesla keeps things in operating shape and likely makes repairs quickly. Bummer on the Leaf, the Ioniq 5 is very popular.

    Just today. I didn't need to charge at all but figured I'd take the EV space while parking was scarce and the charger was out of order due to being vandalized.

    Tesla has quietly added the ability for L2 destination chargers to auto bill through the car exactly like superchargers. I only noticed as I saw a notification on my phone that the car was now charging at $0.25/kWh, which I had missed the day before and was surprised to find charges from Tesla on behalf of Marriott on my card. Cost is trivial for the convenience, but annoyed on the lack of transparency.
