Everyone, thank you again for your input. I have found this to be informative, entertaining, and some ideas quite useful. Let's back up a step and start again with the premise that a woman is sitting inside her Tesla while the car is charging. A troublemaker comes along and would be presumed to be standing outside the car because it is doubtful he/she (we cannot presume that all troublemakers are male) brought their own chair. This clearly puts the troublemaker at a distinct advantage if the woman were to open the door an an attempt to "deliver a single killing strike". It is highly unlikely her attempt would be successful by the simple fact that she is starting from a sitting position, with her feet tucked behind the door frame, and possibly wearing her favorite ever-so-adorable shoes. Let's say that she is a confident women, well practiced in traveling alone by car, rail, jet, motorcycle, bicycle, and foot. Let's also say that she is older. Let's say 58 years. (I would go on to describe how youthful and vibrant she looks, but that is irrelevant to the premise.) She has basic skills for self defense and is constantly aware of her surroundings. She has a cool head, can produce a withering stare, and is armed with bear spray, a brand new big flashlight, a handheld stun gun, and knows how to dial 911. Being an intelligent woman and knowing her limitations, she is also more likely to avoid a physical altercation than to face it head on. We haven't discussed the one other effective tool she and most women possess. Words. She has used that tool in the form of rhetoric or humor to disarm or diffuse many a situation. In that time between the window being rolled down a crack and the perpetrator being blasted with said bear spray, what might this woman say to diffuse the situation?
