Tesla drivers are reporting a spate of "ICE-ing" (an acronym from Internal Combustion Engine) by large trucks at Superchargers across the country. In one instance, Reddit user Leicina said a group of trucks blocked all of the charging spots while chanting "F Tesla" before being asked to leave by an employee of the store. Like most superchargers, the location where the incident occurred - behind a Sheetz convenience store in Hickory, North Carolina, about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte - isn't on land owned by Tesla. Rather, it's leased from third-parties, giving the company no control over how the Supercharger spots are used from day to day. "I was really uncomfortable," the Tesla owner said, adding that the Sheetz employees were "really understanding and sent someone out immediately."

Another Tesla owner in Bristol, Tennessee spotted a Dodge Ram truck blocking a charging spot, with the charging cable mockingly attached to the bed.

Seems like a lot of insecurity there. Sheetz is pretty awesome though.

What exactly are they “protesting”?


The fact that electric vehicles exist?

Just sounds like a few dumbasses being dumbasses

So fitting these true country boys drive those things and wear their hats backwards while tinkering

Is there any doubt left why Luke Bryan is filthy rich? Do they get that?
