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

Posted by EditorDavid on from the car-wars dept.

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.

  1. There's no need for them to "fuck" Tesla ... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    ... because Tesla is doing a fine job of fucking itself.

    * Late deliveries.

    * Panel gaps that look like the cars were built by a high school shop class after the class had a keg party.

    * Musk, who insists on making public remarks which are likely to cause most of the public to have negative feelings toward Musk.

    * Prices which will very soon look like a bad joke compared to the competition, which is going to come from car companies which have a depth of
        engineering talent that Tesla cannot hope to match.

    * And did I mention that Musk is a raging narcissistic prick ?

    I and many others who are not ever going to block a charging station do not have good feelings about Tesla, for very solid reasons.

    Tesla will go down the toilet with no interference from dumbass rednecks in pickup trucks required.

    Just wait and see.

    There's really no need for you to link to something unrelated and superfluous like that just to demonstrate that you don't understand reductive gearing. Get a job.
