They should add a feature where users can virtually “get in line” for the next available charger. In some places, it’s not practical or safe to physically line up a bunch (or even a few) cars waiting for the next available charger. It’d be nice if the app would just let you virtually queue for a charge, so you can go park somewhere close by. Maybe have it set so once a charger is available, you have a few minutes to start charging, or you lose your place in line. If somebody else physically pulls into the charging spot, it wouldn’t let them charge, and would ideally show a notification on their app that X number of people are in line in front of them.

    They just released update that predicts how many will be at supercharger by the time we arrive. The next progression of this would be to know which car is virtually next in line and can estimate arrival & charge times. So could easily juggle cars around and not rely on the user. If you don’t show up on time it goes to next in line, the car thats a minute or two away. I think its a great idea.
