Anti-Tesla Pickup Truck Drivers Take Over a Supercharger Station -- Again (electrek.co)

An anonymous reader quotes Electrek: In what is quickly becoming a problem for some Tesla drivers, pickup truck drivers have again taken over a Supercharger station and yelled profanities in what appears to be an act of protest against Tesla. Earlier this month, we reported on a strange situation at Tesla's Hickory Supercharger in North Carolina where three large pickup trucks blocked access to the station and reportedly chanted "F*** Tesla"....

Now it looks like it's becoming a trend since another Reddit user spotted pickup truck drivers taking over another Tesla Supercharger. They reportedly were also yelling profanities to Tesla owners coming to charge at the Supercharger station.

Electrek also cites one Tesla owner's reports of being "coal rolled" -- intentionally targetted with extra black exhaust fumes from specially-modified engines.

    No better way to convince people they're wrong/dumb than being an asshole to them. These truckers should run for office

    Tesla owners are scared of guns. They would cry if they saw one.

    If you don't know, you don't want to.

    Really-- call a tow company in there, block them in, and hook up towing gear, and charge them a stiff fee.

    If it isn't a tow away zone then somebody screwed up.

    They don't need a tow truck. Teslas have a lot of low-end torque and a Model S or X could easily drag those pickups out of the parking spots.

    They seem pretty fond of flamethrowers though.

    Yeah, those pickup truck drivers are the REAL victims here! They should be allowed to molest Tesla drivers in peace! How dare someone harshly criticize them -- on the Internet, no less! -- simply for exercising their right to be assholes? It's a horrible injustice, I say!

    Actually, Tesla owners have phased plasma rifles in the 40 watt range. At least the ones in the early-experience program do.
