"People are coming and spending 20 to 30 minutes at these stops," Straubel said at the FSTEC conference in Anaheim, according to Electrek.com. "They want to eat, they want to have a cup of coffee, they want to use the bathroom." Earlier, Tesla had revealed only plans for "customer centers" that offer a restroom, chairs, tables and sofas. It's already got Supercharger "lounges" at some stations. But Straubel's remarks -- and plans that Eletrek has written about for the newest Supercharger stations Tesla plans to build -- make it clear that the brand would like to own the charging experience as much as possible.
