Tesla Said;

A customer would never leave a car parked by the pump at a gas station and the same thinking applies with Superchargers. We understand that it can be frustrating to arrive at a station only to discover fully charged Tesla cars occupying all the spots.

Keeping up with the charging process is really easy as drivers get notified when their car is nearing to full. Superchargers typically charge’s up Tesla in 30 minutes.
