Actor and director Sean Penn rescued Variety’s Marc Malkin, the pre-show host of the Golden Globes, after he was left stranded with an electric car that wouldn’t charge ..
Penn ran into Malkin when he was left stranded on the way to Los Angeles from the Palm Springs Film Festival... Malkin’s electric car ran out of juice and needed a recharge, so he called a tow truck to get him to a charging station in Cabazon, California... Unfortunately, he ran into even more trouble when it failed to charge properly and he was officially stranded. That’s when Penn swooped in for the rescue.
...
“Marc looked to one side, and Sean Penn was charging his car — and he looked to his other side and saw Mara Buxbaum (Penn’s longtime publicist) charging her car,” ..
Penn and Buxbaum were surprised to see Malkin stranded at the charging station.
“All of a sudden, they saw a little flatbed tow truck with a car on it. They all forgot to charge overnight,” the source said.
However, Penn and Buxbaum were able to charge up their cars, while Malkin’s refuse to accept the charge and remained inoperable. He phoned the charging company for help but was told the car may not accept the charge if the battery was completely drained. The only other option was to move the vehicle to a different type of charger, which was located nearby
...
Without missing a beat, the legendary Penn and Buxbaum saved the day.
“Mara came up to him and asked if he needed his car pushed,” ...
“She said, ‘You need someone to push your car?'” Before Malkin could respond, Penn was behind his vehicle giving his car a push.
Et tu, EV?
Three idiots in the desert...could be an idea for the next Hollywood flop.
Why didn’t they have a spare bucket of electricity in the car?
“Why didn’t they have a spare bucket of electricity in the car?”
They did, but they left the lid off and all the electrons leaked off.
Hey, they’re Hollywood. They’ll believe anything.
EV’s are even better in mountain snow
Why nobody wants an electric clown car except wealthy, ignorant Leftists.
They ran out of unicorn farts.
If someone were to invent a vehicle that ran on stupidity, we could round up Lefties and have an inexhaustible supply.
It’s called ‘BRICKING the motor’. YOu CANNOT charge an EV if it has been fully discharged (driven til it stops). I guess the idiot didn’t know that.
depends on the car. I have seen (on video) several people driving their Tesla past 0% until it stops. The car keeps a reserve.
Can a little flatbed actually carry one of those overweight monsters?
Tow trucks were too busy with other EV’s at the time?
So, Sean Penn is a hero because he gave a friend a push ?
Doesn’t take much these days.
Happy to hear this though, as it’ll alert a few more potential EV suckers.
Gag!
They likely totaled the car.
