Tesla Supercharger gets taken over by anti-Tesla pickup truck drivers acting aggressively

I have experienced from ICINg related to shared parking sports in SC's, but nothing like this, whats been your experience?. Is this very specific to North Carolina?

No, it can occur anyplace where the stupid and aggressive genes are present in an individual or group of individuals

I don't know what they are on about. Tesla is an American company building cars (the whole car) in America and even selling overseas. What is not to like? It's as silly as diesel vs gas.

And it is saving gas for their pickups.

The rants I've seen are usually about tax credits and government loans. Not a balanced perspective on them, of course - a pile of misinformation that certain conservative media sources feed them on behalf of certain unnamed oil interests.

Some people just have to have someone to hate!

No need to push traffic to Electrek, he stole that story from Reddit.

I’ve never had a supercharging experience like this one. These trucks blocked all the chargers, chanted “F” Tesla, and were kicked out by a Sheetz employee. Who do you report activity like this to? It was really uncomfortable. : teslamotors

A trip of what looks like 1500 trucks (including that plastic cladded Avalanche ) acting like they’re in the 3500 club.

Looks like they are trying to jump-start truck #3. 120kW oughta do it!

Gotta love rednecks and their POS trucks.

Trucks have their place, and someday soon there will be EV tucks. Don’t know why they are against EV or Tesla though, the more EV there are, the cheaper gas will be for them do us to decrease in demand.

I think electric trucks will be better in many ways than ICE trucks.
Did you see the Frunk on the RIVIAN? Makes me want to put down $1,000.

rumor has it the tesla truck will have power outlets for tools. Beats carrying around a generator!

I have a large 2,200W inverter that I can plug into the 4ga wire I have added for the electric winch (on my F150)

 

[Ketchups]

only one picture was taken?

After a few probing questions, I would have offered them a quick demo ride.
That always gains some repect, even from rednecks or motorheads.

That could actually work! A 0-60 run in a Tesla is an awesome experience for anyone.

Aggressive reactions (like deflating tires) always spur aggressive reactions, eventually escalating to something violent.

There will be no reasoning with them.

But remember, the size of the truck is inversely proportional to the size of their willy.

 

[Shock-On-T]

Encouring thing is I searched for this article on the Daily Mail website (very right-wing UK newspaper), then sorted the comments by highest rating.
The overwhelming majority of the most popular comments were against this behaviour.
When even the readers of the Daily Mail think these truck drivers are in the wrong I think we can relax.

Problem solved!
