The new charging etiquette!

[Drone Flyer]

Some people just don't get it! I guess some owners are just plain too lazy to park properly while charging. LOL!

Spotted at the Pickering charger today!

 

[Shock-On-T]

It never ceases to amaze me that fellow EV owners can do this.

 

[sakimano]

Maybe the snow covered the lines and it wasn't obvious how be should be oriented.

 

[Struja]

I charged in that exact spot yesterday, only I parked properly!!!!

 

[Tiger]

If there is space, you may as well use it! Reminds me of a time someone was complaining about parking on the lawn in mid winter (in a zone where lawns get replanted every spring).

 

[dmd2005]

I guess it’s similar to a fossil car icing a charging spot...charge in the middle of the roadway to show the icers how it feels to park in a charging spot

 

[Lon12]

Well if you are afraid of using reverse this would be the only way of charging. Maybe his rear camera was covered in dirt..... I'm just grasping for some humour here.

 

[MarcoRP]

He must have some reason... good or not

 

[CadillacJack]

With that plate, he/she probably just got the car and that's his/her first supercharge. Weren't we all excited when we first used a supercharger?

Yeah you’re grasping. If this was the case, he could have parked parallel to the other units so he would be clear of the road. He simply didn’t care!

Anyone have the ability to look up the owner of license plate GVAZ 133?

 

[rypalmer]

We were all newbies at one point. I used to make a similar mistake at Kingston, trying to wrangle the cord meant for the stall on the opposite side. We can stop the witchhunt now.

For fun I ran the image through OpenALPR. It gives the following output (it doesn't appear to know about the Model X):

I'm charging at pickering. Good speeds

Just kidding. I moved it after the photo

 

[MarcoRP]

Don't you have a white Model S?

 

[alexyida]

I've never been to Pickering supercharger, but this one charger seems orphaned from the others and the placement is just bizzare. What's the proper way to park here anyway? Is it the only one that allows / requires head in?

Could someone please illustrate it on the drone image here? Supercharger - Pickering ON
Thanks, it's much appreciated!

you you drive head in on that one.

A driver was helping their child learn how to drive.
The vehicle needed gas.
The child backed up perpendicular to the gas pump.
The parent, confused, asked the child why they did that.
The child replied, "I don't know which side I have to fill it on"

(That's an anecdote, not a joke, told to me by the parent)

 

[wayner]

Awesome - Best laugh I had in a long time

Maybe next time you could be towing a trailer so you block a few more spots!

 

[Evoforce]

That looks like a new (lady operator) move to me. But... I could be wrong.
