The other advantage of the 10m lead is because as a new EV driver you will encounter EV retards who plug into the wrong charger meaning everyone else has to follow suit creating a speghetti junction of cables all plugged into the wrong chargers. It doesn't reset until no cars are there so can last all day. I was at a Podpoint last week and the car to my right was plugged into my bay's charger, so I had to plug into their bay's charger. Some will do it as their lead is too short. Which is inconsiderate. It's still the EV wild west so common sense and courtesy have not been invented yet. Others are just really stoopid.
Isn't it the case that some of the supercharger stations (tethered) don't have cables long enough to reach a taycan unless you park in adjacent bay/on the p1ss across a bay. What's the etiquette for that situation (aside from going elsewhere).

It's only Tesla superchargers I have had that problem.

It is only the quieter Tesla supercharging stations that we non-Tesla drivers are allowed to use at the moment, so hopefully they are quiet enough to use the “wrong” space to plug in. Once all Tesla chargers are available to us, well, we will have to park wisely and try not to offend the natives. ?

It is actually not possible. The lead is well short. It doesn't reach over bonnet parking with etiquette. But it is evul Tesla so who cares.
