I had a not so pleasant interaction today. A local grocery store here in NJ recently installed 2 HPWCs. They're around the side of the store and the spots are painted green, they are signed as EV charging, but not EV charging only. I was done shopping and in the car for a few minutes letting a few my WHs trickle in. A guy in a Jeep, maybe early thirties pulled into the other spot. I shook my head to myself not even intending for him to see it but he did. Instantly the F bombs started, "you got an F'in problem?". I rolled down the window and as calmly as I could said, "when you block that spot it means someone who needs to charge their car can't". Well, that really set him off. "I don't care, pretentious Tesla, F you, on and on." I had to deescalate. I put my hands up as if in surrender and wished him a nice day. Another round of verbal assault and I repeated the same gesture and words and he was off into the store. I disconnected and drove off.
I feel bad how it went and regret even the head shake but was astounded at how quickly it escalated. My streak of confronting ICEing in any way will end at one.
