Tesla owners recommend you leave a space open between chargers whenever possible to avoid slowing the speed of the charge. "Tesla etiquette is: Don't park next to someone else at a Supercharger because if you're sharing a stall, you just slowed down their charge." Tesla charging stations have stalls that are labelled with a number and the letters "A" and "B." The more chargers at a location, even if they're spaced out, the slower the overall charge will be as well. Tesla owners say they often use the company's internal navigation system to find charging sites with less traffic to avoid slower chargers.
