Nah.... But you might get some strange looks.

Just like the other person pointed out, you're seemly and blatantly missing the point or creating a false narrative. No one, in 12 pages, has said the OP shouldn't have been there. The OP has every right to charge his EV, just like anyone who owns an EV. However, courtesy, etiquette and...

It's sad how many people do things with disregard for others just because they "can". I could go to Chick-Fil-A and spend 15 minutes in the drive through ordering for 30 people at the office but that would be fucked up and inconsiderate (instead go in or order ahead). I think there's a lot of...

Yes, all the time. I basically live in Sacramento and Newport Beach. So I'm always charging down there and in between. I know that EA in SoCal can be a mess. But if you read what I said in my first post on this topic you'll see that I've said we need more etiquette at chargers. I also think...

Sure, it sounds like that if you ignore what the OP did. The OP drove 20 minutes to another town just to use a Tesla unit. Most of the time the wait at an EA is less than that when there's 3 units. The OP also said he had a L2 at the hotel and only had 10 minutes left on the Tesla DCFC. That...

That's true. But here's the thing. The OP could have waited in Davis for one of the 3 EA stations to open up. He could have also used one of the 3 EVGo stations in Woodland, not the ones he mentioned in Davis. Instead he decided to make people wait for him by blocking 2 stalls at the Tesla...

No I didn't. He said that 2 people pulled up prior to the screaming idiot that had to either move/wait. One got a vacant station. 2+1=3. Obviously if there's another vacant, any reasonable person would move and understand. Tesla #2 had to wait, so did the idiot.

And the OP stated that he blocked 3 Tesla's. Especially given that the OP also said he had 10 minutes left and the hotel had a charger, I would have given up the TWO spots out of courtesy. I would hope that others would be considerate as well, but I don't expect anything. If the OP was at 5%...

I clearly said that's what I would have done, not what he should have done. While I have just as much the right to charge as anyone else, I personally don't feel that I have the right to block 2 spots and prevent someone else from charging. That's my personal belief.

I commend you for keeping a cool head. There's plenty of things that irritate me at EVGo, EA etc that people do. Charging to 100%, a Bolt using a 350 instead of an open 50, picking a power share when others are open and the list goes on. This has nothing to do with Tesla owners or Elon. It's...

Look, I don't doubt one bit that you're being honest about those idiots on this forum. I've said as much, that there's a handful of idiots. As someone who drives 15k miles a year in my R1T and another 15k in my Tesla (for work) I can tell you from a lot of experience that Tesla is annoying, to...

I think we'll just agree to disagree. While there are some people who will drink and drive, they will do it regardless of an ADAS system. I don't believe drunk people have the capacity to think "I'll be safe because I have an ADAS system." They would drive home regardless because it's a...

Exactly, so stop blaming the technology that's there to assist. It's not the cars fault that some dumbass decided to do something stupid. ADAS systems (regardless of what they are called) are safety features. People will abuse them, but the few that abuse the system don't speak for the...

You either have no idea how autopilot works or you are just part of the problem. Hyperbole isn't a good look. Driver+ is more lax than AP hands down. Where's your outrage over Driver+? I have both, drive with both, and AP is far more annoying and restrictive. It punishes you for things you...

While I agree that this behavior is annoying and I've argued against it on other forums until I'm blue in the face, it's what NHTSA and the public are pushing. I personally believe that punishing people or locking people out of safety features is the opposite of being safe. Even a bad driver...

Most of you commenting don't live in California so let me enlighten you... The cops won't attempt to do anything even if you ID'd him or had his License Plate. The reason this crap continues in this state is because they know they can do it, with their face and all in plain view, and nothing...

I'm not saying they don't work. They work fine when they find the spot and then you go through the 20 different prompts telling you how to operate it. Personally, I can parallel park 10 times faster than letting the vehicle go through it's guided parking routine. Just like some people like to...

Understandable. Maybe provide her with some counter research? Some companies are actually getting rid of it because of dissatisfaction and lack of use. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46683694/ford-parallel-parking-tech-discontinued/ I honestly think she needs to give it a few more tries...

I have no idea what Rivian is planning - question answered. However... Has she actually tried self-park on any other vehicle or is this just a keeping up with the Joneses? Every vehicle that I've owned with self parking capabilities, Tesla included, is the biggest waste of time, 1/2 the time...
