Watch your hand when using Green River, Utah Supercharger

Not sure if this huge spider is poisonous, but I figured it was worth a warning if you are charging here.

I don't know many people that would eat a spider. Especially not one that looks like that one. So, that particular warning probably isn't that germane. Maybe if the food options near a given supercharger are really, really, really limited?

But anyone considering it should be careful when trying to capture their arachnid snack because it could be venomous and they might get bitten.

Poisonous vs Venomous

The only two in the US that are normally dangerous to humans are the Black Widow and Brown Recluse, and this isn't either of those. Not that I enjoy putting my hands up to spiders....

So what happens if the spider falls into the Supercharger wand??

BTW, were you going to Moab?

Nothing, unless it's still there when you plug the car in. In which case it'll get squished, and you'll find out how conductive spider guts are or aren't.

I don't imagine spiders of that size can charge at more than ~10 or 12 kW max., so even if you unknowingly take the paired stall it probably won't be that noticeable.

We were heading to Dillon, CO, where we will be for the next 2 months. Used to be just a handful of Tesla's here...now the place is awash in Model 3's.
