I also don’t like Teslas because I detest Tesla culture. Most of the owners I’ve encountered seem like smug, entitled, jerks.

Recent example: I rented an EV from a different manufacturer on a trip last week, which uses the J1772 plug standard. The hotel where I was staying had three charging stations: two Tesla chargers and one ChargePoint. When I arrived late in the evening, the two Tesla chargers were sitting unused, and there was a Model 3 plugged into the ChargePoint with a little plastic adapter. 

I parked right next to it and yanked the cable out (it wasn’t locked because of the adapter), and plugged it into my car, which locked the cable for the night.

I checked in to my room and wrote a friendly note to the Tesla driver to let them know.

So… AITA?
