Yeah Tesla really needs to get longer cables at their charging stations if they want to be the standard, I know the V4 chargers will have a bit longer cables but they haven’t really rolled those out. The current chargers are like the bare minimum length and only if you put it on the far edge of the car be it the rear drivers or like something on the hood.
Now that said the lead photo was obviously maximum jackass, but you see further down a car has to park in the “wrong” spot to reach the charger since it is on the passenger side inside of drivers side.
People keep taking about this as if the solution is difficult or that it will require some massive undertaking to replace existing chargers.
EV adoption is still currently in the single digit %. The number of fast chargers will need to grow at the same rate as ev adoption (more actually to avoid congestion).
Even if they don’t replace a single existing charger today with longer cables or NACS plugs, the number of new chargers built to the new standard will soon outnumber today’s existing chargers 10:1 at minimum.

Every inch is a lot of wasted power, but agreed they need a solution for that.
