Do you intentionally park next to other Teslas?

[ladysbff]

Earlier today at the grocery store - I couldn't help myself - a pretty red TM3 with an empty spot next to it!

I usually do park next to other Teslas, mostly for the giggles/glitch in the matrix affect (and secretly because I'm always trying to make friends). It's like a funny inside joke that only I'm laughing at


Does anyone else do this??

No, but massive SUVs and Dually Pick-up Trucks intentionally park next to our Tesla...or so it seems.

I've done it before when it was convenient. I don't actively seek it out though, unless I'm at a supercharger of course.

Previously at work it was pretty much a given. There were reserved spots for clean air vehicles next to the elevator/stairs on each floor and there were quite a number of Teslas in the parking structure. Out in public I generally try to get a spot that's closest to the business I'm going to and that's also the widest and/or shaded. If there's a Tesla already there, so much the better, but I don't actively seek them out.

If there is a further spot away from other cars I'll park there instead but if any open spot next to a Tesla, would always try to park next to them.

Another plus to parking next to another Tesla would to have double security of having Sentry mode turned on for maximum coverage if you're in a high crime area etc.

Yes especially if it's black, I like to confuse the guy coming back to his car. I'd like to think he got a hearty chuckle.

No, cause I don't want to charge my car slowly!

Of course, if I'm not charging, I do, because it's safer for my doors, or so I think. Then again, if it's in the Bay Area, it might not be such a good idea to create a target-rich environment!

That's a great point about double sentry... assuming the other person has it turned on... and a USB drive that works

MSM parked next to me the first week I had it. I do park next to another one when I can as long as there is no parking restriction or high risk of panel dents due to dickhead people parking close.

Added perk of parking next to Tesla friends: you meet good dogs

 

[derotam]

I park close enough so they have to Summon their car out of the space. I just figure I am making sure they actually use the feature every once in a while.

Just kidding, I do not do this. I do sometimes park next to or near other Tesla's though.

I usually park as far away as possible...from any car. Funny when I come out and see another Tesla parked close to me which I imagine is doing the same thing

Same. And it is amazing how often I come out to find another Tesla snuggled up next to mine in the back forty of a parking lot where there are zero other cars.

 

[cucubits]

I do, when driving with my wife and her Beetle. I always tell her that the Beetle needs to start making friends with a Tesla...

i intentionally park as far away from people as possible. unless its a modded tesla or some other car where i can tell the owners cares for their ride. stock telsa doesn't equal safe to me. a lot of asshats drive telsas too

 

[Webeevdrivers]

We do, and neither of our EV’s is a Tesla. We just figure whoever it is will be more careful than the average bear when they open their doors. Just sayin.

where i can tell the owner cares.

Generally, I try to park away from other cars. But if that’s not an option I’ll definitely choose to park next to another Tesla rather than anything else. My reason being that I like to think that other Tesla owners are more likely to be considerate and careful of their cars and therefore other people’s cars.

 

[acarney]

If there is a parking spot that is further away and looks like adjacent spots will remain empty, then I'll park there to protect against door dings.

If there isn't and I see another Tesla, then I'll certainly park next to it. Partly because I think it's cool and partly because in general it seems Tesla owners have a lot of pride with their car, so hopefully they'll be more careful about door dinging other people, etc.
