What Would You Do?

If the

You can call the PD but the owner, or his agent (mall security), can sign the summons and have the vehicle towed/ticketed. If the State has laws on the books regarding blocking EV parking spaces with non-EV vehicles, that's different. But, Elon may not really want to be involved unless/until it really gets out of hand. A simple maneuver is to block the offending vehicle who is intentionally preventing access, such as a diesel p/u truck. He gets to leave when you are good and ready. Uncouth but deserved.

Interesting! This seems to be harder than what I thought. I was hoping cops would take care of that ?. I’m sure saying I’m a Tesla investor or calling a Tesla employee won’t cut it for signing the summons ?. Blocking that guy’s exit might trigger more escalations. If he hit and run my car, I’ll have to go through the trouble of repairs and incur higher depreciation cost! I guess this is not an everyday scenario. Otherwise something would have been done something already!

Another thought about this. What if you showed up to a SC and there'd been a power outage, and you couldn't charge there? Would you take action against Tesla, or the utility company? A SC is really no different than a store. They want you to buy what they have. But if something happens where you can't, you just head to a different place.

Yes the ICE drive was likely being a jerk. But life isn't "Fair" sometimes...

If there was a power cut, your Tesla would tell you the station was unavailable and reroute you.

Tesla could install a camera and some AI to count and warn when spaces are being blocked.

Hit & run would bump it up into State statues and now the PD is involved. Since it was done intentionally(recklessly), and you were waiting for the space to charge your vehicle and obviously he wasn't capable of charging his, his actions were wonton and intentional, which puts him at a higher level of guilt/culpability. Your lawyer would have a field day with him.

You might try shaking the truck to potentially set off an alarm in the hopes the owner would investigate and then you could ask them to move.

I did that once and the guy tried to run me down.

Weirdly, though, he liked his car so much that he didn't touch me with it and chased my bike on foot after catching up to me in his car.

PS: That uhh, didn't work out for him.

Wow. I can't get these few minutes back.

OP, do not take any of your own advice. This thread should just be deleted.

Are you implying it would be a bad idea for the OP to drink all that beer he's carrying to get his courage up, then make sure his weapon is loaded and handy, and then remove his valve cores, put the potato in the exhaust pipe, dump sugar in the gas tank, throw eggs on the painted bodywork, and put superglue in all the locks?

I mean what could go wrong? He's packing, right?
