Tesla should have changed their signs when they opened up their charging network to other brands.

Tesla not properly planning the rollout of a new feature? Well I never!

It was actually quite well planned out, opening up the network in stages to see that everything worked as intended before a wide rollout. You can even see in the app which chargers are open to other car brands. This mistake is 100% on the driver, the info is easily available to that person.

Just don't expect a software company to keep documentation up to date.

I think the sign in the photo still makes sense if you interpret it as "Don't park here unless you're using the Tesla charging station."
