Then there was also the scenario the place a non-Tesla EV could take up two Superchargers by parking in 1 location.

This is not as evident to location, but in the pictures underneath a Tesla would be parked to the remaining of the Supercharger pedestal. By the Audi parking to the proper, it has now occupied each pedestals to the still left and ideal of it, even though it is only plugged in to one of them.
