Tesla’s Supercharger-Scofflaw Note Irks Some Model S Owners

Tesla Motors Inc. annoyed some owners of its Model S cars with an e-mail requesting that they stop hogging the free fast-charging stations the electric-vehicle maker provides to ease long-distance travel.

“As a frequent user of local Superchargers, we ask that you decrease your local Supercharging and promptly move your Model S once charging is complete,” Tesla said in the note this week to owners in the U.S. and other markets. Plugging in at home instead “allows Supercharger resources to be available for those who need them most.”
