Caldwell County is near Hickory, N.C. and I-40.

There have been instances of Tesla haters acting out in that area over the past few years, including one time where a group of pickup owners intentionlly parked in four or more of the Supercharger stalls at a Hickory Sheetz location near I-40 Exit 126, to block access.

Same thing also has happened at a Greensboro shopping mall supercharger location not that far from there.

Winston Salem, NC is also near there with it's economy having been affected by significant cigarette sales loss over the years, and there is a lot of resentment toward policies such as no smoking on aircraft, etc. and the trend to quit smoking. So there's a lot of butt-hurt sentiment and brainwash propaganda narratives being pushed in that area which amplify disdain or hate toward anything that promotes environmentally clean solutions.

Often the hate being acted out on, is seeded or driven by corporations pushing sentiment and narratives, because they are on the losing side of innovative clean energy transitions and reduction of toxins in one's lifestyle habits. Some areas have been on economic gravy trains based on polluting or toxic industries, for decades, and now their tracks are running out.

Of course I'm not totally certain, but I think these factors are at least part of what's driving negative or anti-Tesla sentiment in such areas.
