A 24-hour Tesla Supercharger tucked into a narrow Cow Hollow alley has turned a quiet San Francisco block into an all-night pit stop. Locals report traffic jams, booming car stereos, and, according to neighbors, drivers relieving themselves on nearby buildings.
Despite tweaks from Tesla, including new signage and GPS routing changes, residents say the core problem remains: a 16-stall charging hub drawing late-night crowds of jerky Tesla owners into a space with nowhere to urinate.
The troubles began several months ago, when after a year of construction, Tesla opened a 16-stall, 24-hour Supercharger lot between Lombard and Moulton streets, a narrow alley in Cow Hollow. Overnight, a once-quiet corner of the neighborhood became a nighttime hot spot, with drivers enticed by lower evening charging rates. Cars blaring bass, causing traffic snarls and blocking residential garages became commonplace. Then other issues arose.
"Looking out my kitchen window I have seen people below pissing on the wall," said resident Laurel Calsoni in an email to SFGATE.

Just wait until the Tesla owners have to start peeing on the cars to put out the fires.
