Cybertruck towing trailer seen in pull-through Supercharger design document

[scottf200]

This Supercharger plan layout included design elements for the arch of the trailer behind a Cybertruck.
As well as location of pedestals behind left rear corner of CT for port access. NORMALLY the pedestals are on either side in my experience (270+) as I'm use to looking out the driver and passenger mirror to center myself between two pedestals.

Tight u-turn with a trailer?

Should be straight drive-thru like a gas station…

See the grey arrows. There looks like 4 pedestals there. The turn is to get back out of the parking lot.

Gas stations sometimes have this layout, too.

It really depends on your frontage.

I think that's limited to the lot. In this image though. They are adding a curb to limit access form lane. If they didn't do that, you might be able to to out to the left. But it may be a one way right which would be harder than the u

Probably the neighbors don't want to share access. Also, there is probably no left turn from that smaller side street.

Why is this such a problem here in the states? Pull thru Super Chargers are common in some European locations, why is it like pulling teeth to do the same here.

It costs alot of money, which Tesla would rather not do.

What, if (when) non-Cybertrucks are using the pull throughs for charging? Banned from superchargers for life would be my recommendation.

This is probably the plan for absolute minimum size lot dimensions for worst case scenario. If more space is available at your site, you can always make it larger. If your site is limited? "here's the minimum"

Nah... Just install one of these beneath all pull thru charging lanes. Anyone not pulling a trailer using the lane automatically opens the trapdoor. Redwood Materials would be happy to collect the resulting debris.
