From the FWIW department and South Padre Island, Texas... I ran across this last evening when we meet some friends for dinner. This is a three (3) array Tesla charging station at the Hilton Garden Inn on South Padre Island, Texas. I had never seen this so I thought it interesting.
Those are destination chargers; the same ones used at homes. Tesla might give the EVSE free to a hotel that asks.
Those charging stations may or may not be open to the public. Some places reserve use for patrons. That restriction will be noted on Tesla's map.
One would also need an adapter until some company takes up Tesla on their offer to share their patents/charging network.
Do the destination chargers only activate upon VIN recognition (effectively defeating attempts to manufacture an adapter) the way superchargers do? .
Sorry for quoting my self - but since the mods or Danny have changed the edit rules where you CAN'T ... after a relatively short time, I had to go about it in the way of funk ; Actually, the Tesla portable/home charger runs at about 40amps (~10kW's) whereas the high power wall units do about twice that level on the older (80amp) dual charger model S's. A tad less than that, on their 72 amp chargers. I still haven't been able to find an answer to my question above, but I'm guessing HP wall chargers are probably not linked to VIN's the way superchargers are ... at least for now. .
I don't know for a fact, but I would guess they are just dumb chargers that have no communication with Tesla corporate.
