Leaving your car for prolonged periods knowing that your battery is charged is abusive in the eyes of the community. In other words and in maybe a better example, there are Supercharger in metro areas where people don't charge their EVs at home at all. Instead, they drive into work in the morning, park at a nearby Supercharger and then go to work for 8-10 hours. Their battery is topped off in well under and hour and yet the car remains in the stall plugged in for another 8 hours.. planned. Part of this falls on Tesla for putting them in metro areas but it really should come down to people thinking of others. It's similar to a busy gas station when you're waiting in line and someone is piddle farting around with their car while others wait. Annoying enough but now imagine the guy goes to work and leaves the car there. This is why Tesla 1) is starting to charge to try to curb people from taking advantage of "free" juice when that's not what it was intended for and 2) enacted a policy by which if you remain in a stall well beyond your vehicle being charged you can be assessed a fee. Tesla is on the record saying that they would rather not do this but it was necessary to enforce some good behavior on a select few who seemed to be raised by a pack of wolves.

    Of course zero gallons of gas will get me exactly zero miles down the road where zero gallons of gas will get the Tesla what? 200 miles or so?

    The math also checks out.

    On a serious note, I just bought a Blue Driver OBD code reader. Does some live reading stuff, that my other OBD code reader can't. Hopefully it will save me some grief in the future. Just download the free app on your smart phone and it is ready.

    I use a $14 OBDII dongle and Forscan (but I only really deal with fords). A MS-CAN switch would be nice though.
