Tesla Driver Demo's How to Tow A Pickup Blocking A Supercharger
« on: January 08, 2019, 08:46:47 AM »
Reports about a worrying trend of pickup truck owners intentionally blocking Tesla Supercharger stations in the U.S. started to emerge.

Dubbed ‘ICE-ing’ by Tesla owners, the practice has upset many and left people asking “what can be done?” As it turns out, there’s a relatively easy way, though it’s up to the blocked drivers to decide whether it’s worth doing so.

This is going to be interesting. 

It's comical that two political groups could be fighting over the energy source your vehicle uses.

Great, now the Chevy owner has video proof of who did damage to his truck. 

The truck owner is a dick for blocking the charger.  The Tesla owner is a dick for dragging the truck, and could have caused expensive damage.

Tesla owner should have been more reasonable, and taken a dump in the bed of the truck.   ???

As expected from most YouTube viral videos, it’s staged. From the article:

The video itself was staged and the Silverado used is actually owned by the sister of the Tesla driver.

As insufferable as some Tesla owners are, the owners of brotrucks/brodozers in general are way worse.

Not necessary.

Just get a long extension cord for your Tesla.

Ah, so it's actually a non-issue. Just whining from people that think they are special. Got it.

Maybe the ICE cars/trucks identify as Teslas? The world is so darn confusing these days.

Supercharger?

Superchargers belong on real cars.  No real cars in this video.

Well, some states have anti-iceing laws. You can call the police and get them a ticket.

Or a tow truck depending on if it is public or private and time, varies by state. Seems like here in Texas you can’t be towed for iceing, correct me if I’m wrong?

Not sure which is worse....Tesla cult members or the Brodozer clan.

However , it is impressive how much torque the electric motored vehicles develop at 0 RPM.   Their pull off the line is mind boggling.
