Can someone give me a back story? Why the hell did she do that?

Is OP a paid shill seeking to sow discord amongst communities? Enabling a further us v. them mentality? No thanks. I recommend deleting this thread and monitoring @Exscite 's future posts.

I would be surprised if petrol, an entrenched industry with tremendous political influence, remained unaffected by astroturfing.

I don't like to see Tesla on Tesla violence, but at least she didn't take her rage out on the person on the bike.

She hit the car parked in front of her though

I've opened this new thread to point a finger at, and be aware of ICE bullies- those inconsiderate a$%^*holes who purposely park at EV chargers, and at Tesla's in particular!

You are encouraged to catch them in the act and publish their pictures in this thread.

Hi - Haven't been to Solvang in years, but miss the pastries. Are those Tesla HPWCs mounted on the wall in the parking garage in the pic ?

yes the two (relatively slow) chargers are mounted in the underground garage. The Solvang's HI Express offers them for FREE to hotel guests. Nice, affordable hotel with breakfast on the house, located just a short walking distance from your desired pastry shops.

I've had more gear-heads cut me off, flick me off and squeal their tires trying to get ahead of me (never happens) than I have seen ICE'd chargers. Also do we really need to dox these assholes? This thread seems like a pretty petty idea to me personally.

Lots of EV stalls but only 2 Teslas were charging at Legoland Castle Hotel. Rest were ICE.

The ICE cars were parking legally since the parking spot doesn't have any signs for EV parking. No signs or painted marks on the parking stalls. Looks

Aside from people targeting/bullying EV owners, it's an interesting conundrum in the sense that EV charging is often in parking lots close to the storefronts. In busy parking lots where spaces are hard to come by, I can see ICE cars being tempted to pull in. Until local traffic/parking enforcement starts citing that, it will continue to happen. In order for citations to be issued, you're expecting traffic enforcement to be able to easily differentiate ICE and EVs, which is a taller training order than it may at first seem.

I'd encourage people to write to their local and state governments to write legislation regarding protection of EV charging spots.

What people do not see in that picture of the flatbed track with the cable plugged into it is that he is charging what looks like the Tesla batteries.

Well, after seeing disagreement with my post I've searched for better picture of that and have to admit that I was wrong. Cannot delete the original post unfortunately...

Saw that Youtube video a while ago. That's a video from China not here in the States and doesn't look like even at a Supercharger. Maybe the aggressive woman found out the other driver was cheating with her husband. But I did notice that there's a metal piece dragging on the ground of the aggressive woman's Tesla on the front passenger side. Maybe there was an accident between the two and the woman pulled over expecting the second vehicle to stop and exchange info only to pull away. Why they stopped I don't know...maybe oncoming traffic prevented a getaway but sure the rear end damage ended up being more costly than the front passenger wheel damage. But again, neither Supercharger, ICEing nor coal-rolling (dangerous and disgusting). Maybe you didn't mean to post that video?

Don't make a big deal about it.. There's a very small % of "ICE bullies". The last thing you want to do is make it actually become a thing and start dividing people into sides as it feeds the trolls just like how meat eater like to talk a lot about "vegans" more then vegans talk about being vegan or the whole pickup truck parking at SC went on the news and just gave more people ideas to join forces and troll when in reality there was only a small percentage of those people.

Well, only small % of people rob banks but still we throw them into jail. While in general my sentiment is that just ignoring the idiot the problem goes away, on the other hand there's also idiots who will keep pushing further until confronted and dealt with.

I think the best way would to update the legislation so that it's easier to report ICE problems. For example snap picture of ICE cars and send to specific address. Owner of the car gets $100 fine to remind not to park at EV charging. Biggest problem I see there is that even with my poor photoshop skills, I could swap licence plate. But something along those lines. Kinda wasting police time/resources if they need to start enforcing EV spot parking.

If you live in the Bay Area, valley fair mall is the worst. They have many ev spots but most are ICE’d. I blame the mall’s security and management as much as the jerks that park in these marked spots. Start towing and people will get the message.

The faint sound everybody is hearing is every Prius owner in the world playing the smallest, saddest violin for you. I guess it's true, everybody loves to feel like they're a victim at some point in their life.

Punk millennial ran into one of the softer ARVN old guys. Vietcong/PAVN would have kept a punji stick handy and tuned up that mouthy kid and camera kid pretty good.

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with a Walmart manager about the campers in the parking lot of the Walmart, which shares a parking lot with 3 or 4 other strip malls. It seems Walmart or the rest of the strip malls do not control the parking lots. This property is owned by a separate entity. And their business model tolerates the campers as they feel it benefits the strip malls.
So the campers continued to camp.

agree that this is not the most relevant in this thread but I think you missed how the discussions evolved... also I'm pretty sure the woman was taking revenge because the black car cut her off when she was walking, and the hanging piece from her car is from when she got out of the parking spot she just swiped the car in front of her.

She hit the car parked in front of her though

I caught that too! Good eye...her trim was yanked on the car parked in front of her.

They don't want to tick of their ICE majority of patrons who shop there so they let it slide.
