Is sitting in the car while being supercharged dangerous?

I'm honestly more cautious about having to walk across the parking lot than the car exploding. The spots are out in the far end of the lots to discourage ICEing but that comes with hazards. For example in Parsippany I have to walk across the gas station part of the Wawa, and in JFK I have to walk across two gas islands with crazy NYC cab drivers zipping in and out.
reminds me of Pulp Fiction and Vincent Vega... You just don't mess around with another man's (or woman's
) automobile.. its just against the rules!

Hey no problem at all. I visit your supercharger a lot and will be glad to put your mind at ease. Just look for me. I'm a guy with bleeding nose and foam coming out of my mouth
Bottom line, you should be more concerned about criminals that worried about what the car might do to you.

You will be much safer inside as you will be less likely to get cancer from that big fusion reactor in the sky ..
Well that's just ridiculous....everyone knows you're supposed to sit on a tin foil seat cushion, the battery is under the seat.

Depends on the neighborhood, but that's what the conceal carry permits are for.
at the wawa? i charge there all the time, usually around 3-4am in the morning. its a very busy/public wawa in a big shopping center. doesn't seem unsafe to me. though I do see a ridiculous number of cars coming in to pump air in their tires. seems everyone drives around on flats around here or something.
there is only 1 case that I know of where the supercharging caused a fire. it was in europe somewhere. it shorted out and burnt the car down to a crisp. happened a year or two ago. for this reason, if you're driving with kids and have to go pee or something at a supercharger, take them with you. I would never leave my kids in the car even for a minute. (I never do this anyway no matter what, but some people do I guess).
I would be concerned sitting in my car while charging only if a hydrogen powered car pulled up anywhere nearby.
Or CNG. A third the pressure and somewhat lower explosive combination range, but still lots of opportunity for issues.

And its one of the reasons why the wife wants a "panic" icon next to that sentry icon that she can press and hold for a couple sections to cause the horn and lights to flash. Right now she leans on the horn when anyone other than a Tesla driver comes toward her while she's in the car. Annoying, but so far it has kept a couple strange characters from continuing to approach and jus turn to walk away.
That's not a bad idea, but the panic button could do so much more - start recording or uploading video, send messages to Tesla, call police over Bluetooth.
Some of it might be overkill for some situations, maybe you need a couple levels.
