In one incident on Sunday in Tennessee, a Tesla owner spotted a truck backed into a supercharger station and pretending to get a charge.

Jackasses. Take photos, let the company sue them. That’s like going to Taco Bell and parking in the drive up lane.

Pull up and block them in so they can’t move. Say it’s out of electricity. F- em.

"...ICEing / Rolling Coal..."
Both of those things are moronic.
Nitwits in diesel trucks have “rolled coal” on my cycling group while yelling “0bama Fagg0ts” out the open window.
Maybe they should speak with us to learn many of us voted for President Trump...
The presence of a charging station does not threaten their access to diesel fuel. Diesel will be available for many decades to come.

My dad lives a few towns over. NC has yet to be “Califonied”. Not a good idea to piss off the truck drivers down there, as they are in the majority.

Do you have to pay to use those charging stations?
Seems like it wouldn’t be to difficult to make an adapter to a large battery that you could drive around and charge up...then drive it home and power your house...
Just a thought...

“I’m sure that pickup truck drivers wouldn’t want someone to slash their tires just because they’re driving a pickup truck that guzzles a lot of gas and pollutes their children,” Becker said in an interview. “And I think it’s almost a form of vandalism because it’s preventing someone from being able to drive their vehicle.”
I don’t condone the practice, Becker, but the answer to your confusion lies in your misplaced sanctimonious attitude and false moral equivalencies. You righteously oppose coal and nuclear power that makes your stupid pious car go while simultaneously demonizing those who are being penalized for not buying into your junk science. You don’t give a shi’ite about kids except to use them as symbols of fake health threats and you wonder why people would do this. Dude, go look in the mirror and see the flashing neon sign on your forehead that says, “I’m a sanctimonious @sshole, ICE me!”

The political affiliations of the pickup truck drivers are unknown. But Hickory is located in Caldwell County, where 74.1 percent of residents backed President Trump in the 2016 election.There it is!
It's Trump's fault.
Geez.

Not sure I’m buying all this. Were the parking lots full and the drivers wanted a space, and thus the obscenities and pretend refueling?
OTOH, jobs seem to depend on “enforcing” laws to “prevent” this....
Nine states and several cities have enacted laws prohibiting gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles from parking in front of EV charging stations, including Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington.
I’m not going to trust Big Media without question on this just because their attractive headline isn’t specifically about politics.
To: Responsibility2nd
Just payback. Leftist Smug, TDS, hatred of all "rednecks" does NOT make them immune from retaliation.
It still beats shooting all commies and democrats. Currently.

Dan Becker, executive director of the Safe Climate Campaign, called it “mean and stupid.”
I doubt I agree with this guy on anything else, but here he’s right.

According to Dan Becker, “Truck drivers wouldn’t want someone to slash their tires.”
Dan Becker is dumb. Slashing tired is violent. Blocking a pump is childish. And it is violent to pretend that Tesla’s are good for the environment when the Tesla batteries are toxic.

OK, so where's the pictures of angry crowds of rednecks shouting "F--- Tesla!"? This story is losing credibility by the minute.
She added, "Who do you report activity like this to? It was really uncomfortable."
I can understand why a woman would be hesitant to go confront an angry mob. Maybe you should go talk to store management. If they won't do anything, call the cops. And be a little low-key so that you don't scare them off before cops get there. It kills me that an average person would need to be told these things.

As a general rule of thumb about how long it takes to charge on a Supercharger, think of it like this:
- 20–30 minutes to go from 20% battery remaining to 80% full.
- 60 minutes to go from 20% battery remaining to 95%.
- 90 minutes to go from 20% battery remaining to 100%.
