    I suspect that the impoundment lot is far smaller than the disused shopping center parking lot.

    I think they should just let Tesla store them there and ask Tesla for some fee for use of the thing. I really don’t think that having them there is likely very harmful to the area.

      It’s likely the land owner IS renting the lot to whomever currently owns the Teslas.

      The city however noticed and notified the landowner that it’s not zoned for storage.

        Ah that makes sense.

        Like yes, no one is going to park millions of dollars without having some agreement with someone… Your take is likely what happened.

      If it’s a code violation for the poors it should be a code violation for tesIa. I guarantee if one of us parked a vehicle there for more than a couple days it would be gone.
