    It is objectively safer to park like that (charging or not). Most parking lot accidents happens as someone leaves the parking spot. The risk of accidents when leaving the parking spot is significantly reduced compared to parking front first.

      Why was that downvoted, it’s true.

      Backing out of a parking spot is comparatively dangerous, because you can’t see if anyone is approaching from the side.

        Because the implication is, that Tesla isn’t doing something bad WRT how they designed the stalls? IDK, anything that’s not bashing Tesla directly seems to get down voted here, even if it’s not actually related specifically to Tesla.
