Yes but you expose your personal info to anyone passing by!That's assuming everyone has a QR code scanner app and/or knows what to do with a QR code.
I just leave my cell phone number on a card in the dash.
Looks like you have a typo with "deconecter". Missing another "n" (and accent but I won't mention that). lol
let's focus on the level of anger you have towards this person who simply unplugged your vehicle.

No need to have a scanner app. All new Iphone and Android models have the scanner built in.
And??
What is someone going to do with a random cell phone number? Prank call me? They can't do a reverse lookup to see where I live.
I guess they could call me and when I arrive, they jump/mug me since I'm a Tesla owner and take my wallet and phone.
But then again, using the QR code has the exact same effect of drawing you out to the car. So no real benefit there.
If I were that concerned about it, I'd use a Google Voice number forwarded to my cell phone. A cell phone number is universal, and anyone can call it. Even people without cell phones, without smartphones (flip phones, burners, etc), or say local management who write down the number and go call from a landline.
Right. But how many people actually know that? You're still assuming everyone seeing your card knows what a QR code is and that they have the means and capability to use it. Your card doesn't even say 'To contact me immediately, please scan this QR Code with any smartphone'. It just says 'contact'... whereas a cell-phone number, everyone knows what it is, and how to use it, even if they don't have a cell phone, they can go to a local establishment and call.

LMAO, how are people even defending this idiot for unplugging someones car and driving away. OP lucked out, at least it was just an asian troll in the dark of the night unplugging cars instead of others keying it.
Why does it matter how he charges to you? I don't get the self righteousness of people on here to decide how others should use their car.
I just have a lot of questions having had my daughter on the phone crying because our Leaf was in turtle mode on Hwy 99 after coming from Vancouver to South Surrey because all of the public chargers she drove by had Teslas parked in them. As I said in this post in another thread:
I like to pick up free electrons at the mall, etc. but worry that I don't really need them and think about the time my daughter was crying over the phone to me because the Leaf was at 0 and she's a few miles from home. She made it -- I told her not to cry, we'll just call a tow truck if it runs out, and she always asked me what she will tell her kids like I tell her (no internet, cell phones, etc.) and I said you can now tell your kids this story and they will laugh about the Leaf's low range, and you will tell them barely anyone drove EVs and we had 2.
I just read on the news that a woman sent 65,000 SMS to a guy
, if we Tesla owners, create some code of conducts and procedures and share them with each other in similar forums, it will be just a matter of time before we only need to put a QR in the car somewhere without any notice or instruction and others can recognise it and contact us
Now imagine someone handsome, rich and above all a Tesla owner like me!! how many girls are going to send text to him if they see his number! LOL.
“What is someone going to do with a random cell phone number? Prank call me?”
Well, don’t give this women your number:
Arizona woman sends 65K texts, breaks into victim's home & takes bath
What? Damn...need to go cancel some flights!Yes, bad things can happen. Your next flight could go down in flames, but you still fly, no?
Sorry, but no way, no how, can you solve stupidity with education. Even with Tesla owners.
If you're as rich and handsome as you say, and single, I'd think publishing your cell phone number would be a great way to meet eligible mates. You just have to be smart to avoid the gold-diggers. And if someone scams you for 65,000, well then maybe you didn't deserve to be that rich to start with.
I think you read my comment incorrectly. You are right in saying education will not resolve stupidity but I wasn’t reffing to those stupid unpluggers!! I was talking about sophisticated, handsome/beautiful, educated, intelligent Tesla owners who can learn a few code of conducts and rules among themselves and setup a procedure for these things without revealing their identity to public.

Oh, I know you are talking about Tesla owners, as was I. Yes, even Tesla owners can be phenomenally stupid.
There's at least one mobile app someone created to allow Tesla owners to contact each other directly with a QR code, but it never took off or go any traction (it was posted here on TMC, but I don't remember the name).
The best option for this kind of thing is for Tesla to enable a feature of communicating with other owners through the Tesla mobile app. No QR code needed, it could just use GPS to determine your proximity to other cars charging (or still connected to a SC) and the stall number to ping them "someone is waiting to charge, please return to your car soon". The app already does that when your car is done charging, and you can accrue non-charging fees for every minute you are taking up a stall and not charging.
But the stupid guy you referred to, evidences show he was either committing suicide or had a stroke or heart attack as he ignored all signals autopilot gave him.
On another note, I think what Tesla can do for its superchargers is to give ability to drivers to book a slot based on their ETA to the location. All hardware is in place including SIM Card for communication and booking as well as monitoring of slots. Currently when you choose a supercharger station on the map, it shows how many slots are free or occupied so it is easy to put all info together and write a small module to make the booking when you navigate to the station.
