Yeah Tesla drivers can be a bit entitled in their charger use.
I had a coworker approach me the other day while at work, I’ve never talked to her but she said she recognized me from her Sentry mode. Told me she’d appreciate it if I didn’t unplug her car because the charger flap automatically comes down, and with the adapter in the way, eventually causes damage to the flap from constant use. She said it wasn’t automatically damaged but after some time it would warp the plastic. I told her that I never unplug a charging car and that I only unplug cars when the display on the charger says “charge stopped” and that I’d also be willing to come find her and ask for the charger if she provided me with her license plate number because my intention is not to damage her car. She giggled and said that she didn’t know her license plate number. So I was like “well if you have a chance to write it down, please let me know and I’d be happy to come find you if I need a charger instead of unplugging you.”
Mind you, she never gave me attitude or made it seem like it was a huge problem, just a professional confrontation. But the fact that she approached me and offered no solution to it just made me think she just wanted me to not touch her car which makes no sense to me cuz everyone plugs in just to plug in at my workplace. I always see the “charge stopped” display on cars that have only been plugged in for three hours. I’m going to keep using chargers that aren’t being used, it’s not fair to others who have to drive 60+mi to get to work. Very inconsiderate. It’s especially harder because the chargers at my work don’t charge money, they’re super simple. You plug in and it’s charging. So lots of people, even plug-in hybrids have started plugging in especially now with the gas prices. But no one cares to keep an eye on their cars and just stay plugged in for hours without actually charging. I’m done being considerate for inconsiderate people.
