Ever since getting an EV, I’ve noticed drivers to be a-holes! This guy in a huge truck spit in my direction for no reason!

All over social media people will key teslas, and talk crap. Has anyone else had weird experiences?

    Idk about regular EV’s but you said Tesla so let me break it down.

    This is completely subjective and just from what I’ve observed, but it’s happened with such frequency that I cannot help but notice. I often find Tesla drivers parked at Lv2 chargers and all too frequently, not plugged in. This is a major shithead move to actual first gen EV drivers who only have 40-60mi on their ranges.

    On top of that, they’ve seem to have quickly usurped BMW’s ‘no-turn-signal’ reputation. And the go next to you at a red light so they can accelerate and quickly cut you off reputation from BMW.

    I deal with this shit on the daily, and I can’t be the only one who notices. Only difference is I’m not a coal roller that will flip you off or key your car, cus I’m smart enough to know about sentry mode.

    Again, not every Tesla driver does this, but it’s too often to not notice. I should create an album for all the pics of Model 3/Y that I find hogging a charger.

      you in California? Bay Area? I see that all the time.

      I see so many Tesla hogging the left lanes while cars are honking at them and flashing them cause they’re going slower than the speed of traffic in the left lane…

      they’ve taken the Prius spot for being naive cars in the road.

      The Tesla thing complicates matters because Elon is such a controversial and often disliked figure, and some Tesla owners are basically cult members. So I suspect there’s a certain amount of bias where Tesla Stan=EV owner.
