Tesla leases those parking spots to only be used by Tesla owners. Your non-Tesla vehicle can legitimately be towed away if you park there. They aren’t merely a convenience, but are in fact an essential piece of infrastructure for some Tesla owners who count on being able to charge there. While some Tesla owners enjoy free supercharging, most need to pay for it. In fact, they charge Tesla owners idle fees if they block a supercharging spot after being done charging.

Thanks. I looked for reference to this but couldn't find any. I did see an article saying that Tesla pays for the installation of the gear but doesn't pay for the spot. I also saw an older post saying that T posts signs inviting non-tesla drivers to park there (presumably if no other spots are available).
