Model 3 parking lot friends

Is it a thing for Teslas to back in when not supercharging? I never do it on purpose, but I never used a supercharger yet

From the limited number of superchargers I’ve been to, you have to back in. The cord isn’t long enough to travel the length of the car.

Finally! This was today at an Italian restaurant in Carlsbad, Bucca do Beppo. I pulled into this almost empty section, thought of this thread and parked next to the S.

Note: My wife and neice are wondering what the hell I'm doing. The things I'll do for the love of a 3...

Owners should not take up a Supercharger parking spot if the car is not charging. If you are charging, your phone app will alert you when charging is almost done, so you can drive off or move the car to a non-charging spot.

I think most of my multi-Tesla shots are at Superchargers, and that feels like cheating, as far as this thread goes.

I don't know how many Teslas in my town, I've only seen a handful, so I wasn't really sure if I'd ever find another one parked next to mine.

It's actually considered safer in general to back in than to back out, both for pedestrians and for other drivers.

(Not true for angled spaces.)

At a Diner in NJ.

Okay, this is cheating since it was at a Supercharger, but it was fun to see nothing but Pearl White Model 3s.

Was seeing double when I got out of the grocery store the other day.

combat parking. Some thinks it's cool, but I only do it if I have to as well.

Do you still have your Jeep?

If not, how are you surviving without it?

I am looking at a Tesla, but it’s hard to give up the Jeep lifestyle. I will probably keep mine.

Yeah. Still have the jeep. 2017 rubicon hardrock on 35’s with metalcloak lift and teraflex falcons. I’m about to wrap it pink for the wife. She wanted a new Z4, so I gave her my Jeep. Made sense to me. Ha!

Yesterday at the Texas Cattle Company restaurant in Lancaster, CA. Tessie found some company with this blue Model 3. I wonder what they talked about.
