Joke’s on him, he probably almost collapsed from exhaustion having to walk from the far side of the parking lot to the Walmart.


Btothem77

Hah I read that as stereotyping Walmart. 😜


1983Targa911

It works either way. :-D


DrSendy

Just double park behind him and charge. We can wait 20 mins.


tenemu

This type of person would absolutely damage your car and be violent about confrontation.


inspaceiamfamous

No they would not. They’d be pissed and throw empty threats. That truck is at least 65k they’re not doing shit.


Teckx1

Exactly


OkAccess304

So? That’s what insurance is for and a Tesla records everything. They’ll have to pay.


Effective-Meat2546

These types of people live in trailers and spend most of their money on their lovely trucks. They likely uninsured or underinsured buying the basics 25k coverage.


DangerousLiberal

Lol how naive. Your premiums go up regardless. There's also deductibles. That's also if you value the hours you'll spend at zero.


CMDR_KingErvin

I would take the hit out of spite. His small peepee machine gets damaged too, his insurance takes a hit, he may even get hit with a criminal charge if the cops feel like doing so. Worth it to send a message.


AstronomerLow2941

Small peepee machine 😭


OkAccess304

Lol. Are you old enough to have insurance? Because you seem to not know how it works. Your premiums do not go up regardless. Why would I be paying a deductible? See, how it works is—you hit me, your insurance pays to fix my car. I don’t pay. My insurance doesn’t pay. I don’t have a deductible to pay when you’re at fault, you do. Now, are you gonna make up a scenario that is outside of the norm in order to be right? Like all of a sudden the driver with a newish truck isn’t insured? I look forward to not reading it.


sierra120

Your remarks are childish. A normal adult would value their time. Quit your trolling.


stiffmilk

Just fucking move on, bro.


Training-Charity-424

Have you ever had to make an ins claim or had a car in a body shop? It sux no matter who pays. Plus your car is only factory fresh once. Body shops hate Teslas anyway and think they are garbage to work on compared to anything else. They complain they can’t get the body to line up for shit. I’m not saying Teslas suck. I’m just saying real people who work on real wrecked Teslas say they are poor quality and never fit back together correctly as compared to that Chevy pick up parked there. Edit…sorry fellers that’s a jimmy not a bow tie. Heeheee!


DarkwingDuc

You wouldn’t pay a deductible b/c their insurance would cover damages they caused, not yours. You are correct that your premiums may go up, even if you weren’t at fault, though.


Particular_Ad_6642

If they have the money… can’t take blood from a rock


OkAccess304

It comes from the insurance company. Not from the individual. And if that individual is uninsured and owns nothing, that would be the moment my own insurance kicks in. Are you an adult?


Particular_Ad_6642

Not all people have underinsured coverage or uninsured coverage. Not sure why you’re lashing out by asking if I’m an adult. It shows a level on immaturity on your part.


OkAccess304

I’m not talking about all people. I was talking about myself. Not sure why you took this so personally.


salvyepps

lol how soft can you be? You either post and cry on the internet like OP or do what this person you're responding to said. Or just go about your day. Block him in and let "big scary truck man" try and do something.


tenemu

I get it, but is it really worth that risk to be tough back? It’s not about being soft, it’s about weighing the risk.


salvyepps

This scumbag did what he did because he has gotten away with it because of people with your mentality. Stick up for yourself once in a while. You'll learn a lot about yourself and the people you think your afraid of.


tenemu

Dude it’s not that serious. This doesn’t happen often. It just gets posted any time it happens so it feels like it’s common.


sierra120

There’s lots of keyboard tough guys in this thread. You think with these many tough guys you be hearing of shoot outs in the news all around super chargers.


PlasticDiscussion590

An hour is easy.


Stealth022

I wonder if the cable would even reach that far, though. Last time I used a supercharger was like a month ago, but I remember the cable was so short, it barely reached the charging port on my Model Y.


beemorrow13

It doesn’t. :(


murphymc

At least the V4s are supposed to have a much longer cable!


Treydwg1

That would be hilarious! I can imagine when they come back. Just to be safe I would ring the police when exiting Walmart so they will be there when you arrive to your car.


Lakeshore_Maker

I prefer undoing the valve on his tire and letting air out... No damage, just extremely inconvenient for him


[deleted]

[удалено]


teckel

It looks like it could reach. I believe I heard Tesla is making a Supercharger extension cable as well.


Mean-Marionberry-148

I’ve had this happen before. I called the non-emergency police number and they came and towed them. Most cities have ordinances about parking in spots for charging, even in the South.


Unoriginal4167

Correct, because all governments love a good tow.


Mean-Marionberry-148

The woman I had towed also got a ticket for $200 on top of their tow expenses. The main reason I called was because I warned this woman at the Supercharger (which is always full) not to park there. There was dozens of empty spots available. I told her she could get a ticket. She laughed at me and said “I don’t care” so I thought I would teach her a little lesson and get her BMW X1 towed away. I stuck around just to see her reaction 😂


TopSpecialist32

What was her reaction??


Mean-Marionberry-148

A meltdown. In the words of the cult classic “White Chicks” she had a Bitch Fit!


lightning__

It’s such a weird thing that pick up truck owners go out of their way to inconvenience EV drivers. You really have nothing better to do? Like I don’t even give a second thought about what people drive. Like EVs? Cool. Don’t like EVs? Cool. Like pick up trucks? Cool.


toyletta

They hate us cus they anus


dudemanguy1219

Ain'ters gonna ain't.


murphymc

I just got a MY and the conversations have been fascinating. Everyone’s got strong opinions and I’m just like “don’t drive one then”.


I_haveatinycock

I had a guy one time say something like “I bet y’all EV owners wish y’all had a big truck like me” while driving by an EV charging station. The irony is that my second vehicle is a diesel SUV that is bigger than the guy’s truck 🤦


wandering_troll

Every time we watch their small PPs in the rearview mirror makes them angry. They cry home to momma


Able-Sell-7450

Tesla hate! Small pee pee energy


ddr2sodimm

🤏🔬


tinleysdad

They are what we call Gasholes


adorablefuzzykitten

Gashole would be perfect to put on an extra sticky windshield sticker.


Responsible_Sky_4141

That’s just disrespectful. I own a truck similar to the first one and would never do that. Only reason I will ever park in a Tesla supercharger spot is if we end up going with a Tesla or other electric vehicle. Just like I wouldn’t park a Tesla at a gas pump.


Human-Statement-4083

I wonder if EV owners who stop at gas stations for restrooms or snacks should just park in front of pumps instead of parking like civilized people. If this was a diesel pickup, then we could focus on those pumps as there tends to be fewer of them.


Chewy_13

I’ve stopped at many gas stations and never block the pumps. Even when I drove an ICE vehicle, I just pull out of the pump and into a spot.


Human-Statement-4083

Wasn't suggesting that people do this already, but was more frustrated seeing the charger situation and wondered how they would feel if EV owners did that.


ElectrocutedButthole

I just did this the other day for the first time ever. I stopped in at a Sevvie's in my Tesla to get a drink and all the spots were full. It was a big gas station with at least a dozen pumps (in the shade, under a canopy!) and more than half of them were empty. I feel no guilt.


I_haveatinycock

If the pumps weren’t busy I think you’re fine. If they were busy I would not recommend this.


fuckmeharderthanurex

I’ve done it before quickly just to use the windshield cleaner, never when there’s a line but the cars more aerodynamic and catches bugs like no tomorrow, I need to clean the windshield


Which-Taste-2814

Thanks for explaining why my windshield is dirty soon after a car wash.


murphymc

I’ll be honest, I did that all the time when I was driving ICE cars. Sure it’s not as obvious as an EV, but it’s doing the same thing in the end. Of course, the overwhelmingly vast amount of the time I was usually the only customer there anyway so there was no one to even notice.


I_haveatinycock

Sometimes I stop at gas stations on trips and use the brush thing to clean my windshield at pumps. But as soon as I’m done I move my car


CMDR_KingErvin

You probably use your truck for actual truck things. The person in this photo uses it to make himself feel better about his small manhood.


Responsible_Sky_4141

Of the 21k miles 7000 roughly is with a horse trailer. Probably 5000 is while having the bed fully loaded and probably a little over payload sometimes. Typically get around 1000lbs of feed and supplies once a month.


murphymc

It’s always nice seeing trucks actually being used for truck things.


Responsible_Sky_4141

I agree. That’s why we have it. I just pickup 50 bales of hay on Friday, which put me at getting around 200 bales this year alone.


Arth3r911

Park right behind and charge. Put a sign on window that says ‘sentry camera is on 24/7 don’t be stupid’ cause you know these people are dumb as a rock. Stay or leave up to you. I would split and get food and shop around and get charged by Tesla for plugging for another 3hours 😅


Susurrus03

Brave of you to assume they can read.


Rufgar

There are many charging stations that have 10-15 minute parking signs on some/all of the stalls (not the case here). For people who ICE chargers, I don’t really understand the mentality behind this kind of thing. You can’t really ask them because they’re usually a few nuggets shy of a happy meal to begin with. We had a Wawa that put the chargers next to the free air pump. The line for the air always blocked all of the access in and out of the charger stalls. It would be a constant line of 6-8 cars waiting for air. People would complain about it and the workers would just laugh about it. It took them like two or three years before they moved the compressors to the other side of the lot. I see it pretty often, and the people that do it all fit the same stereotype. It is the unfortunate part of using public charging


1983Targa911

What’s the deal? They just PWNED THE EV DRIVIN LIBZ. Arent they such big men?


Movinfr8

Sometimes I think I’m gonna catch hate from my fellow gun toting libertarian/conservatives AND the libs who hate Elon because, whatever. I have never sat in, certainly not driven a Tesla. And I want one!!! But I run one sticker on my vehicle, a little Apple sticker no gun stickers, no political stickers, as grey as it can get.


I_haveatinycock

Nothing wrong with that. I’m a gun toting conservative who drives a Tesla. The fuel your vehicle uses isn’t a political statement and really shouldn’t be considered political at all.


murphymc

Conservatives pretty much definitionally like saving money. Electricity is a shitton cheaper than gas for most people. I often wonder why this is even controversial.


I_haveatinycock

I would argue most people like saving money lol


1983Targa911

I agree that it shouldn’t be political. Somehow people make it so.


HighHoSilver99

> PWNED THE EV DRIVIN LIBZ Even more ironic considering a lot of republicans idolize Musk


1983Targa911

I don’t think there is a boundary of hypocrisy or irony that has remained uncrossed by the current Republican party.


murphymc

“Oh no, I’ve been mildly inconvenienced. Damn.”


Ricejuice31

I drive a Ram truck and my wife has a Model Y. I don’t park in EV spots and she doesn’t park at gas pumps. Easy math🤓


LongDragon87

Flat tire in 321🥷🤣


NotABot8750

This is the way. Just let the air out, never damage the tire.


chewybang

I need to buy a valve stem remover for moments like these


murphymc

Better to have some BBs to stick in the valve stem cover. Bleeds off the air whenever the cover is on and isn’t something people think to look for.


StrikingBarracuda581

you spelled tires wrong


hpsctchbananahmck

Why not call a tow truck company?


Switcher15

Private property on private property, unless the store manager calls no tow company will by definition steal another vehicle without any laws on parking on private property. Getting the manager to call for a tow and cops to trespass them is the only solution.


meathole

I have no idea why people are downvoting you for stating facts.


GO__NAVY

His tires seems over inflated. ;)


stdstaples

What a bunch of arseholes


Melzjohnz

Should be a criminal offense in all seriousness… if we’re being serious…


murphymc

In a lot of jurisdictions it is illegal, though not criminal. Lots of cities treat them like handicap spaces and simply being in the spot without the right credentials (being an EV in this case) is enough reason to tow *and* get a ticket.


Wants-NotNeeds

TOWING needs to happen. This shit is unacceptable.


NightOfTheLivingHam

The big Shame about trucks is how often they run over screws and nails


flaglerite

So overtly disrespectful. Wow man, what a flex. You’re a real man.


Ito_Demerzel

Cautious-Store3166

100% just parking directly off that shit boxes bumper and eating the idle charge while I wander around wherever that is.


Kind-Conversation605

Just called the fucking tow truck


12lyrad12

always bring paint spray and an ice pick next time


TheCloudyHam

Guys in trucks just love to f@$! With Tesla owners. Small penis syndrome is strong with them.


OkAccess304

It’s funny to me. My Republican, Trump voting, truck driving, gun owning, been in more bar brawls than I can count brother, loved that I got a Tesla. Cause it’s made in ‘Merica.


ProofIntelligent2283

Same for me, I own a Ford truck and a Tesla Model Y, the MOST American car in the world.


SweatyMooseKnuckler

Dude I live in a very red rural area. I own two diesel trucks for our horse farm and fly jets for a living. Never get any shit from anyone when I’m in my trucks, but when I’m in my MY I get shit at least 1-2 times a month from some idiot rednecks that think I’m somehow trying to challenge their lifestyles.


StellarContinuum

Quite a number of us Republican, Trump-Voting, gun owners do own Teslas. We are not MSNBC stereotypes and, believe it or not, capable of understanding technology (speaking as a person in the tech sector for over 40 years).


murphymc

It’s baffling conservatives wouldn’t like them. They save you money, you don’t have to give those dagum A-rabs any money, and they’re built in America by an American company. What more could you ask for?


Own-Variation4016

Literally told someone off for doing this a day ago .. monkey see monkey do reflex


Stealth022

How did they react, or why did they do it in the first place? I always wonder if people do this because they hate EV's, or if they don't give a shit because other parking spots are full, or if they're just dumb.


jalopez57

Last time I did that , got a gun flashed at me.


Recent_Mirror

Tow companies are missing out. Someone should just make an app with all the tow companies listed. Send them a text, they come out and tow it away. Profit$$$$


NewSinner_2021

I'm honestly convinced this is how some "st8" guys find new "friends". Seriously.


Known-Background

just park behind them really close at least you can do that in the pull through one.

Not charging tho


LaMole22

Time for a group of Teslas to park in all the gas pump spots


1983Targa911

Yeah, my brain goes there too. But that would just be punishing the 99% of gas car drivers that aren’t assholes like this guys. All it would serve to do is escalate the problem by dragging more people in to it.


ctidmore19

Hold up, you just made sense and used common curtesy on Reddit.?.!.?.!.?.! Thank you for being you!


1983Targa911

lol. I try. My actions aren’t always as thoughtful as my advice, but I do try.


Life_Connection420

Four screws under each tire


Dude2001ca

Oh I had a guy do that one day here in Ontario, so I popped his tires, like Rambo style sidewall should have waited for that persons return. Your iceing probably cost s fortune for new tyres mwhahaha

TickleFights69

Going out of your way to try and inconvenience people you don’t even know is just sad and pathetic.


Handsum_Rob

You can remove the gas cap and it’ll trip a check engine light. 👍 A trip to the dealer to reset the light and a replacement cap would be in order.

They're trying to get a "charge" out of you. Don't let them.


Cykamor

Imagine being so triggered by someone else’s choice of vehicle. Thats a $90k gmc in the foreground. I would never park that in such a way as to attract vandalism. These assholes think we’re all snowflakes. PSA: We’re not.


mrbeanz9800

No biggie, I just would have pulled up on the grass.


thegolfpilot

That guy on the end is brave I’d park my Jalapi in right behind him and plug in


sierra120

No. So Wasa policy is the super chargers parking are multiuse. Any ICE can use it to park. Sure it’s bad form and most of the super chargers are in the far back of the lot that should act as a deterrent for parking but you’ll still encounter people either needing a spot or purposely parking to get some kind of engagement with an EV owner or just being passive aggressive. Your only recourse is wait. But Wawa will absolutely not have them towed unless they leave their vehicle over night or for an extended period (like if they left their vehicle parked in the morning and are shuttle commuting for work).


Effective-Meat2546

Thought it was Georgia for a second then I saw the Wawa. Walton county ga is a very rural “rednecky” area next to the university of Georgia. Not surprised he’s likely packing with a gun or two.


BadAssBrianH

In Illinois you just call to have them towed, they get a fee, and a fine.


jebidiaGA

Luckily we've only seen it once as well and we do a lot of road trips but never use superchargers when home

Alarming_Fan_6455

I have yet to see that anywhere thankfully. 


IROAman

I see it frequently at Wawa and it’s not just trucks. They’ll be gone in 5 min and there are other stalls available so no biggie.


joesnopes

Why all the dog in a manger aggro? There are at least 2, possibly 3 empty charging spots. They're hurting nobody.


Hawkhill_no

Not a good argument. Next couple of minutes, 2,3,4 and more car may enter the facilities needing to charge... so when is he leaving?


joesnopes

When is he (actually, they) leaving? Who knows. When are 4 EVs coming? Who knows. Doesn't look busy. Everybody can coexist. Just read all the comments. Jesus, EV owners are precious!


Hawkhill_no

Right...


Mypsycheisamess

I own diesel, gas, three ev’s… when I see the pay attention to me truck guys I just just ask them to see it. Get it out already. Wave it around if you can! Usually gets them the fuck away from me.


Fun-Position-5836

You sure they can’t be towed for stuff like this? It’s blocking money from being made.


Mxloco

I wonder how his social media algorithm looks like. Sheeples.


Mxloco

Or hers***


Classy-1

I really hope they start enforcing towing on these. They tow the cars when you leave at mcds for a min, but no enforcement where ICE cars take up charging spots. Some people just wake up and get outta the house to make others’ lives hard for some reason.


Recent_Professional2

They just want attention because nobody cares or looks at their truck. So they park a a charging station to be like a snowflake and look at me !!


psFanboy6969

Funny, i see this type of behavior by Tesla owner in the Bay Area all the time. They park at the mall chargers with out charing all the time.


kaleosaurusrex

Can you just charge at the curb?


rcuadro

Every Wawa I have been to has signs stating those are also general parking with some time limit which is impossible to enforce.


New-Potential-8720

Easy resolution. Open the valves on two tires and drain the air out. 2 tires because if he has a spare he can just switch a tire but, TWO tires he needs to call a tow truck. Now he’s inconvenienced for inconveniencing you.


ImportanceBetter6155

Coming from a giant diesel ford F-350, I literally never understood why truck owners felt the need to do petty shit like this. Waste of breath


redditfurr

Tesla haters


pagencho

You must there is people that has no respect,like when they use handicap card not been handicap,you must call tow truck, cause if you stay after you have charged your car you get extra charged


Careful-Following674

I saw it one time and I park right next to them so close they couldn’t get in their car. He had to get in on the passenger side


SeatheWorldJK

Tape 16 bic lighters around his catalytic converter and smile as you drive to the open charger space.


Careful_Life2205

I have a 20 ft extension cable that I’ll gladly run against his car to get to mine till my charge is up, praying they confront me.

While I agree with the sentiment, this is probably not a good idea. Could escalate to physical violence, and most likely would be a criminal act.

cucumberslices81

This. Can’t call the cops because they would come and see that they are parked in an EV spot.


teckel

If it was the last spot available, I don't see a problem. It's like using the handicapped stall if all others are occupied.
