  1. Got ICEd at a local free Level 2 charger by a beat-up mid-life Camry. No sign of driver. Almost half of the spaces on this level of the garage were empty.
  2. Saw a parked Tesla Cybertruck in-person. It was even uglier and more impractical-looking than I could have imagined. Pretty sure this is going to be Tesla's first major flop.
That is all.

I was going to the outlet mall to charge the other day and there was a semi truck had five of those Tesla cyber trucks on there. I’ve never seen those in person and that was pretty cool, if someone gave me one.?? I would take it!

The thing I see quite often (unfortunately), at L2 chargers, is Tesla's parked in those spots, not even plugged-in. Just parking there.

THAT irritates me maybe even more than when ICE drivers do it. You'd think a Tesla driver would know better.

Even free, it may cost you a fortune to maintain it. They come with a free lifetime supply of flaws and bad design ideas.

I went to the mall for dinner the other night, thought I would finally get to park in the EV only spot and get a free charge. Two jeeps were parked at the chargers, one was charging the other was not even plugged in. I know the feeling.

Oh, I’m sure, it’s just like kids nowadays if someone were just to give us a house would be all set. I’m like OK someone gives you a house. Do you have at least three or $4000 a month coming in, because that’s just what it’s gonna cost to help you maintain taxes, insurance utility bills and that’s not even even any repairs coming, nothing free

Back in the day (read 2012 Volt), I used to get livid about charger iceing. Here you can see two prisoners I took and subsequently paraded through town; they had iced a charger with their beamer:

I have since learned to just take deep breaths.
