So has anyone experienced anything sketchy or a beggar at a Tesla charging station? It seems gas stations are a popular place for beggars to ask for money, probably because people can't just walk up and leave when refilling their car. And are tons of people going in and out of gas stations, leaving probably every 5 minute.
But have these gas station beggars or con artists decided to try Tesla charging stations? Well, good amount of people may not even be around their car. But there are those who decide to stay at the charging station are usually inside their car.
But one of the nicest things about the Tesla is not having to go to the gas station. Which means not having to deal with very aggressive beggars asking for money. Why do they target gas stations, is it because their victims can't just walk away which means more chance of them feeling sympathy?
There was one time 10 years ago some girl said she needed money for the train, I gave her some money. But now I'm pretty sure it was a huge lie and she just wanted cigarettes because why is she at a gas station begging for train ticket money? She should be at the train station begging for money. And if she really wanted, she could just board a train without a ticket and just hide in the bathroom the entire trip to avoid the ticket checkers.
And one time in Las Vegas, some lady goes like "sorry to bother you but I really need money". And yeah, why do they apologize about bothering you, then ask for something that is bothering me? And she asked in a way that like I had to give her money, not even willing to be submissive for money. I just gave her two sodas I had and told her I had no money. Then the guy next to me told me those people in Vegas just want drug money. And he thought it was funny I gave her soda instead of money. She still took the sodas though.
I don't do much super charging since most my commute within reach of going home to charge. But I could imagine if I did a trip to Las Vegas and charged in Barstow, I am sure there is a higher chance of meeting drug addicts coming to beg for money. I don't know if they stick to gas stations or if they started targeting Tesla chargers.
I like the Tesla chargers at shopping centers. I think that really deters beggars because they won't last long when security makes them leave.
